We visited a dinosaur museum in Heyuan, and since my child was interested, we went to see it. I learned quite a bit myself. The museum isn't very big; you can see everything in about an hour. It was quite crowded during the Spring Festival.

There are hot springs (water world), jungle exploration, Hakka town, glass bridge, green manor (also known as drunk butterfly valley, flower sea), ice and snow park. Except for Hakka town, which is free, all others are charged. During the May Day holiday, there were also music festivals + fireworks for a few days, which were charged. There were quite a lot of people at night. The road signs in the park were not very clear, and the traffic was not very good. There was a traffic jam at 12 o'clock. You can go around if you get up early in the morning. There are few people and it is quite comfortable. There are small sculptures of dinosaurs everywhere. There are ducks to see in the parent-child farm, and there are free-range ones. There are specialty wooden hammer crisps for sale, which are delicious and a bit expensive, 20 per box, and it is about 1/3 full. We looked at the door of the green manor but didn't go in. It seems that the place is very small. The ticket seller said that there is no flower sea now, and the cute pets are peacocks and turkeys. I didn't go to the glass bridge. The ice and snow park seems to be in the hotel, so I didn't go there. Dinosaur Valley is under construction. Adventure Park is not open. Happy World is not open, and it feels that the facilities are not maintained. Water World is open in summer, and tickets are bought together with the hot springs. It will be cheaper if the hotel includes it or buys it on behalf of others. The original price seems to be 108 yuan, and 88 yuan for buying on behalf of others. The electronic code is scanned at the front desk to exchange for a bracelet. The child was given a paper strap, which is waterproof, but it is not very firmly attached. It loosened and fell somewhere after playing. Lockers, slippers, and hair dryers are provided. Bath towels can only be collected at the exit of the locker room, not in the hot spring area. There are no meals inside, only snacks such as grilled sausages, and the price is normal. There is an area in the hot spring that is shaped like a dinosaur egg, which is quite special. Fish therapy is charged separately, 20 per person, which is quite fun. The Dead Sea Hot Spring is not open. The wave pool in the water world is about once every 30 minutes, lasting 10 minutes. You can rent a floating ring, which is not expensive. It seems to be 10 yuan per person. I didn't play other projects. Jungle exploration is an aerial challenge project built between some trees. It is cheaper to buy tickets online, 68 for the blue line, buy and use it. Be careful when buying tickets and consider the difficulty you can bear. Once you exchange it, you can't refund it, and you can't change to another line to challenge. The blue line is quite difficult for children. It took us almost an hour to complete it. We saw many children under 8 years old crying on it and didn't dare to move. Finally, the staff put up a ladder to rescue them. Before the challenge, they will help you put on the equipment and have simple training on how to move the buckle. There are also many staff at each level, so you can get help in time. A medal is also issued after the challenge is completed, and the children feel a sense of accomplishment. There is a small area on the left side of the ticket office to play grass sliding and jumping nets, which costs 38 yuan, which feels a bit low in cost performance.

Taiping Ancient Street is the soul of Heyuan City. As night falls, the 200-meter-long arcade street is brightly lit and bustling with activity. On both sides of the cobblestone street, time-honored shops coexist with trendy boutiques. This is a food paradise: a bowl of steaming hot pig's trotter noodles, soft and chewy; a bite of freshly steamed radish cake, fragrant and delicious; and a piece of fragrant mugwort glutinous rice cake, sweet but not cloying. Wandering through the alleys, listening to the Hakka dialect vendors' calls, you can truly experience the authentic, vibrant atmosphere of Heyuan.

The former highest fountain in Asia is located on the Xinfeng River (Dongjiang River) between the Zhuhe Bridge and the Heyuan Bridge in Heyuan City. In the evening, you can walk along the Xinfeng River boardwalk from the hotel, listen to music and watch the night view of the river on both sides, and enjoy a slow life. The fountain starts at 8 pm. The fountain water column continues to rise with the music, reaching a maximum of 190 meters, and then it keeps changing, with peacocks spreading their tails, crowns...

We didn't catch any squid, but the owner helped us by casting a net every half hour, bringing up quite a few. We had a barbecue on the boat, which was a nice way to relax and have some fun in the evening. Even though we didn't catch any fish, we still had a barbecue and seafood porridge dinner.

I came here because of its reputation, and visited Chaozhou Ancient City, Guangji Bridge, Guangji Tower, and Kaiyuan Temple to learn about Chaoshan culture and taste local delicacies. In March, the spring sunshine was just right, the weather was pleasant, and I felt very comfortable.

As expected of Songcheng, it's really good. First of all, the environment is nice, and the prices are incredibly low. For example, a cup of green tea is only 6 yuan, and you can even get refills! The most interesting thing is the courtesan's dance! It's truly excellent!

Jingshan Slide, also known as the Sunset Roller Coaster, winds its way down the mountain from the summit. You can control your speed, feel the wind rushing past your ears, and enjoy panoramic views of Xianglu Bay as you glide – a truly unique experience. The track is well-maintained; the curves are exciting but not too thrilling, making it a great stress reliever for young people. You can take a cable car up the mountain and ride the slide down, combining tranquility and activity for a rich and varied experience.
