Many thanks to Liu Jiaying, the hotel concierge and WeChat service ambassador, who contacted us by phone the moment we arrived at the hotel and led us through the VIP check-in channel. She also provided us with travel information and guidance, offering timely assistance that made our trip even more enjoyable! The hotel staff were a hit with both adults and children; we all slept soundly through the night, and the accommodation and sightseeing experience was superb!

Eating around the Canton Tower is inconvenient, there aren't many snack options, and the subway line 3 is a nightmare—it took three transfers to get to my destination. Getting from the Canton Tower to the North Railway Station seems incredibly difficult.

I bought the tickets of "Window of the world" park in Shenzhen for me and my 8-year-old daughter and it worked smoothly. I got QR-codes, which were scanned at the park entrance. We spent a whole day in the park and enjoyed it very much. I recommend the park especially for kids, as there are also some rides. Whereas I have travelled a lot and have seen the originals of most of the landmark models, present in the park, there was a lot new to learn and experience for my daughter. It was lots of fun to climb the Eiffel tower, because we have not climbed the original Eiffel tower in Paris. I especially liked the ride, which was like a flight over the park, passing over many models of famous landmark buildings. Our park visit was on October 16th, when Halloween was not far away. We were amazed to see how numerous characters were lined up on both sides of the road, leading to the park exit, to say farewell to us. We had a wonderful day at the park and recommend spending a whole day there.

Easy excess, fantastic third-floor view, roughly an hour-long nighttime tour. Candy, hot tea, and a small snack are all included. The cost of fried nuggets and one drink was fairly high. Overall, it's a fantastic nighttime activity.

The park isn't particularly large (it's easy to walk around), but it has a wide variety of venues and rides. The evening fireworks show was absolutely spectacular! Chimelong is definitely worth a visit! I also want to give a shout-out to Ctrip and the Guangzhou Tourism Bureau. With a 200 yuan coupon from the Guangzhou Tourism Bureau, the National Day ticket for the Sanren Gate was only 1,150 yuan—a fantastic deal!!!

Nan'ao Island "No Shadow Cast by a Pole" Experience Review The Tropic of Cancer marker tower, known as the "Gate of Nature," in Qing'ao Bay on Nan'ao Island is the perfect place to experience the spectacular "no shadow cast by a pole" phenomenon, a true highlight of the island's cultural tourism. At noon on the summer solstice, the sun shines perpendicularly on the Tropic of Cancer, creating a spectacular astronomical phenomenon where the pole casts no shadow. Trying to experience it firsthand allows you to truly appreciate the wonder of nature and human in harmony. The tower, shaped like an abstract "gate," with its metal structure against the backdrop of blue sky and sea, is a photographer's dream. Even outside of the summer solstice season, it's a great spot to watch the sunrise and enjoy panoramic views of Qing'ao Bay. The white sand and clear waters offer perfect backdrops for stunning photos. The surrounding area is well-equipped, with the beach and seafood restaurants within walking distance, ensuring a seamless experience. The only minor drawback is the large number of tourists on the summer solstice; arriving early is essential to secure a good viewing spot. Overall, the "no shadow when the pole is in motion" phenomenon is not only a unique astronomical experience, but also a microcosm of the natural and cultural charm of Nan'ao Island. It deserves to be included in the must-visit list for islands, and is especially suitable for families with children and photography enthusiasts.

The elevator is incredibly fast, reaching the 116th floor in just 55 seconds. There are guides on the floor providing detailed explanations. The views from all sides are fantastic, offering panoramic vistas of Hong Kong, Nanshan, Futian, and Luohu districts, as well as a 360-degree view overlooking the entire Shenzhen area.

Exploring the Tomb of the King of Yue: Treasures Hidden in a Small Tomb, a Glimpse into a Thousand Years Stepping into the Tomb of the King of Yue today, though the tomb itself is small, every step reveals a surprise, a true example of "small but exquisite." Descending the steps, in the dimly lit exhibition space, the artifacts silently tell the stories of ancient Yue, each piece exuding craftsmanship and profound history. The most breathtaking is the bronze sword. Though a thousand years have passed, its blade still gleams coldly. The intricate and precise dragon patterns on the hilt seem to conjure the heroic spirit of the swordsman who wielded it. There is also a set of jade ornaments, white and translucent, with fluid carvings. From earrings to pendants, the details showcase the aesthetics and craftsmanship of the ancient Yue people. The museum's description mentions that these artifacts are not only works of art but also testify to the cultural fusion during the rivalry between Wu and Yue. The bronze ritual vessels and pottery daily utensils unearthed from the small tomb fully recreate the life of the nobility of that time. The exhibition hall, though small, is ingeniously laid out. Soft lighting illuminates the artifacts, making the patterns and textures clearly discernible. Standing there for a long time, looking at each and every object before me, it felt as if I had traveled through time and was conversing with the ancients. Although this visit did not reveal any grand scale, it allowed me to appreciate the essence of the ancient Yue civilization within a small space. It was a feast for the eyes and an enriching experience, making the trip worthwhile.

Today, my whole family visited the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. The guide was booked on the spur of the moment, but the experience was surprisingly wonderful! She was friendly and approachable throughout, and her explanations were incredibly detailed. From the "three carvings, two sculptures, one casting, and one painting" of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, to the historical stories on the brick carvings and the auspicious meanings in the pottery sculptures, everything was explained vividly and easily. She even proactively pointed out the exquisite craftsmanship hidden in the details. She patiently answered the children's questions and shared many family stories behind the construction of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. Highly recommended! (^.^)

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge is definitely a must-see. Take a cruise at night for a distant view. During the day, climb to a high point in Zhuhai for a closer look. Also, take a short drive around the Guangzhou Bridge. Such magnificent architecture deserves a visit.
