Things to do in Yichun

The forest is vast and the rocks are uniquely shaped. We recommend starting by climbing the observation tower for a panoramic view; the vistas are absolutely stunning. The forest environment is comfortable, the scenery is pristine, and the experience is fantastic – a must-visit in Yichun.

We arrived at the deer enclosure around 3 PM. Initially, we were worried that the deer, having been fed in the afternoon, wouldn't want to interact with us. However, once inside, we found the deer to be quite friendly. They enjoyed corn kernels, and whenever they sensed we were feeding them, other deer would come over and ask for food. One old deer even followed us all the way inside – quite amusing and intelligent. As the sun set, the entire meadow was bathed in golden light, creating a beautiful and photogenic scene.

It's worth a visit. The place is large, so you can take your time exploring with your kids. The most amazing parts are the deer enclosure near the end in the afternoon and the lakeside area outside the visitor center – both are incredibly beautiful.

The park isn't large, but it's home to a high concentration of chipmunks, who are very friendly and will even come to your hand for food. The hiking trails are short; you can choose to walk along the boardwalk or take a sightseeing bus. It's suitable for families with elderly members and children.

When it rains heavily, the water turns yellowish-brown. There are two routes for the tour, with a fork at a point where several shops are concentrated. The birch forest route perfectly avoids the crowds and leads directly to the main attractions, but the downside is that there's a section with hundreds of stairs to climb at the end. The other route starts from the forest itself and is less strenuous, but it's very crowded. When I went, the road was under construction, so I had to take a detour.

Driving to Jiayin Dinosaur National Geopark is a must-do. As one of the earliest places in China to discover dinosaur fossils, it boasts a rich historical heritage. The core Shenzhou Dinosaur Museum has a wealth of exhibits, including many complete dinosaur skeletons and various ancient fossils, offering a clear understanding of Cretaceous dinosaurs and providing significant educational value. The Longgushan excavation site preserves original strata and fossil traces, allowing visitors to experience an archaeological site up close. The valley features numerous lifelike giant dinosaur sculptures, and the forest trails offer a refreshing environment, perfect for escaping the summer heat. There are also interactive fossil digging simulation projects, which are great for children around 10 years old. The park's sightseeing bus saves walking energy, and free parking is available outside the gate for vehicles. The only drawback is the limited outdoor dining options; it's recommended to bring your own drinks and snacks. Overall, the park focuses on fossil education and is a great place to visit while exploring Jiayin, especially recommended for families with children.

Jiufeng Mountain Yangxin Valley, a famous 4A-level scenic spot in Yichun, boasts both mountains and water, and visitors who have visited rave about its beauty. As usual, you'll first take an electric car ride upon entering. 1. The animal area boasts many large animals, especially black bears, which are robust and active, making them a great place to see. 2. The colorful dry slide, while seemingly simple, is incredibly thrilling. The exhilarating experience of sliding down the slide is quite relaxing. 3. The Nature Education Center, more like a small zoo, offers visitors to see parrots, snakes, crocodiles, and other animals, serving as a welcome addition. 4. The Dafeng River water play area is perhaps my favorite part of the entire scenic area, and it's also free. A small man-made waterfall allows you to experience the impact of the Dafeng River's waters, making it a great spot for summer water play. Overall, this scenic spot is highly recommended, with a roughly equal mix of natural and man-made features. It's quite enjoyable, but aside from the Dafeng River water play, there's not much else to offer. Horseback riding, camping, or the glass plank road are simply unappealing. Another complaint about the battery car in the scenic area is that the end point is about 400 meters from the exit, and in the middle you have to cross a food street of about 100 meters. I can understand the arrangement of the merchant, but I don't accept it. Walking 400 meters out of the scenic area on a sunny day is too cruel, bad review!

Jinzu Peak was so beautiful, it brought my travel experience to its peak. I started climbing at 3 a.m. and saw the sunrise, as well as the sea of ​​clouds, the golden mountain, and the colorful mountains. Although there were many people, it did not affect my enjoyment of the scenery. In short, it was an unforgettable experience, and I hope to come back again in the future.

The most satisfying part of the trip was Xinqing Wetland, which was truly unexpected. The crane release ceremony was unremarkable, but the yellow autumn grass, the distant trees, and the blue sky resembled a Van Gogh painting.

This forest park truly is a national forest park. It's located within the city, yet it offers a wealth of greenery and beautiful scenery. Many people get up early to collect some spring water. I, however, just strolled around at the bottom because it was so cold I really didn't want to go up.
