The palace flew overhead, and the assassin suddenly rushed out from beside me...
Especially the boating scene; it really felt like I was on a boat, weaving through the reeds...
I loved the assassin scene; the lighting and choreography were perfectly combined.
Jing Ke's makeup was so handsome; the fight scene was so thrilling.
When I saw the soldiers transformed into the Terracotta Army at the end, I cried 😭~
Come see the mighty Daqin! First, let's talk about the venue and facilities. After entering and passing security, there's a whole wall of carved murals! The atmosphere is immediately felt! You can also check in and take photos. There are also some cards and leaflets you can pick up on site, and the quality is very good! Looking forward to it!

Upon entering the park, the first thing that caught my eye was the wild animal area. A caged car slowly pulled in. Outside the window, lazily lounging Siberian tigers appeared, their fur gleaming golden in the sunlight, their eyes hollow and empty. Occasionally, they stood up and paced, their steps devoid of the majesty of the kings of the forest. Instead, they seemed programmed machines, repeating their aimless movements. Fellow tourists excitedly clapped at the window, trying to attract their attention, but the beasts, accustomed to such interruptions, didn't even bother to raise an eyelid.
Turning a corner, several black bears awkwardly bowed and begged for food. Tourists fed them, laughter filling the air. I suddenly thought of Jack London's Buck, longing for the wilderness. If these bears knew, what kind of wilds would they dream of? The primeval forests deep in the Qinling Mountains, where their ancestors once roamed, or this eternally impassable fence?
The herbivore area seemed much more peaceful. Giraffes gracefully munched leaves, and zebras strolled across a simulated grassland. The fences here felt less stifling, and the animals seemed more comfortable. However, a closer look revealed that their behavior still bore the hallmarks of captivity—repetitive pacing patterns, conditioned responses to food, and social interactions distinct from those in nature.
The bird garden moved me most. The colorful parrots had their flight feathers clipped, forcing them to hop from low branches. A peacock spread its feathers, and visitors raised their phones, yet no one noticed its repeated attempts to fly over the seemingly endless mesh fence. I stood there for a long time, watching it try and fail again and again, and suddenly understood the cruelty of this design: it gives you the freedom to see the sky, but deprives you of the ability to touch it.
Wandering into the primate area, the moment I locked eyes with an elderly gorilla, I felt a familiar emotion. Sitting in a corner of a rockery, its eyes revealed a nearly human-like contemplation and melancholy. We were only a few meters apart, yet we belonged to two different worlds. Did it dream of the African rainforest? Does it miss the days of swinging through the treetops? No one can answer these questions, only the deep wrinkles at the corners of its eyes seem etched with silent stories.
In the late afternoon, the zoo's broadcast announced the upcoming animal show. I followed the sound, but paused at the entrance. Through the crack in the door, I saw a black bear riding a bicycle and a monkey doing math problems in clothes, as the audience erupted in laughter. Ultimately, I didn't go in, suddenly feeling that this kind of entertainment, which domesticates wild animals into clowns, smothered in an unspeakable sadness.
The zoo has a wide variety of rare birds and beasts, including cranes, peacocks, Bengal white tigers, Siberian tigers, black bears, brown bears, lions, giant pandas, wolves, and more. There are also many cute little animals, such as meerkats, red pandas, various monkeys, and gorillas. There are also wonderful sea lion performances and random clown performances. The venue is large enough to spend a whole day, making it a great place to take the kids.

I was a bit disappointed not to have made it to the Shaanxi History Museum, but when I got there, I met the instructor, Qin Yao, who was very professional and interactive. It was a truly worthwhile trip. The museum, newly completed in 2021, was less crowded and boasts over 5,000 pieces. From prehistoric times to the Tang and Song dynasties, I saw many exquisite pieces.
I went to the Shaanxi Museum in Xi'an before. My children like museums very much. This time I chose the newly opened Shaanxi Archaeological Museum. When booking tickets on Ctrip, I saw the three-hour in-depth explanation by Teacher Qin Yao of the Shaanxi Archaeological Museum. I booked his explanation with a try-it attitude. It was really good. The on-site interaction was like being there. Qin Yao's explanation was not boring and the atmosphere was very good. I highly recommend his explanation. Don't hesitate to book it directly. I came all the way here and was not disappointed. I gave my evaluation after experiencing the real explanation. Thank you🙏

The location is very convenient. It is in the heart of Kangding City. It is opposite Liuliu City and next to Love Song Square. They are all within walking distance. In fact, the city is not big, and it is very convenient to eat and do other things nearby. The hotel is very clean and stylish. The room is clean and spacious, more than 30 square meters. Everything is good. The price-performance ratio is good. It is very lively here at night. It is cool downstairs and suitable for a walk. It is worth recommending.
The park is quite large and has many projects. Some projects have a long waiting time. I just feel that it closes too early in the evening and it is too hot in summer. If it ends at 10 pm, you can play for a longer time.

One of the four grottoes, the history and culture are very good! It's just that the flow of people in the summer is a bit large, the conditions of the grotto itself are a bit tired (long queue time). It takes two or three hours to really visit the play.
The Maijishan Grottoes are really shocking! From afar, the solitary peak rises up, shaped like a stack of wheat. Walking into the grottoes, the Buddha statues are carved vividly, and the colors of the murals are still bright and moving after years. Every detail is full of the wisdom and hard work of ancient craftsmen. Coming here is like traveling through time and space, and having an artistic dialogue with the ancients, which is very rewarding.

Along the way, I met two families, both of whom came from Huahu. They stayed in Gannan for a week and felt that Huahu was worth visiting, especially for bringing children, because there were so many wild animals, various birds and fish, which gave a sense of natural history study.
There were quite a lot of people. Jingjiao Road is a single-lane, two-way road, and overall the process was well-organized. We suggest improving guidance for waiting passengers. The wetland lakes in the grasslands offer beautiful reflections on clear days, and are also home to numerous waterfowl. We suggest strengthening process management. Many people unintentionally trample on the grass, and some even fly drones. This is destructive and poses a danger to birds and fish.

The scenery is stunning and the hike is easy. The low altitude makes it easy to get up close, like a miniature Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. It's a truly wonderful place. I hope the scenic area can preserve this beautiful scenery. I noticed some areas of the water were covered in dust, and I hope they'll protect it more and prevent human pollution. Especially, I'm worried about people entering the colorful pools. It's heartbreaking to see people having water fights there.
The scenery is stunning! The value for money is quite good. The hike up and down the mountain is full of beautiful scenery—the entire route is lined with wooden plank roads and towering trees, and each section has its own unique charm: Water Curtain Cave, Yaochi Lake, Qinglong Lake, Shenwa Lake, and Fairy Flats. It's worth a visit, and not crowded—which is crucial! It's so cool, and every photo you take is a masterpiece!

This was my second time at Guanshan Ranch, originally for the zipline. My kids had been there a few years ago and loved it, so now that they're grown, I wanted to try it again. Unexpectedly, the equipment is closed for maintenance until 2025. We each took a set of travel photos for Guanshan. The grasslands are photogenic, especially for the kids; every one is a masterpiece. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Guanshan Grassland and the herds of cattle and horses.
We found a small restaurant for lunch. It was really busy during peak season, so there was no shortage of customers, but the food was quite perfunctory. It was a bit overcast when we arrived, so the sun wasn't directly shining, but it was still very hot. We arrived at 10:40 AM and it was a cool 20 degrees.
The last time I went there was about ten years ago. At that time, there was only one hotel on the roadside, and there were some yurts. This time, there were red houses one after another, and there were too many hotels of various colors, and there was also a barbecue square. There was a separate place set up as an ancient tent camp. As we went along the way, we passed several places with recreational projects. Lantian Baiyun, galloping horses and herds of cattle and sheep grazing leisurely can be seen everywhere. The temperature is around 25 degrees, and it may be a bit cold at night. Recommend a good place to cool down in summer, you can bring a tent and a canopy. It is really pleasant to lie on the grass, blow the cool breeze, and look at the rolling grass.

The museum is magnificent, with both the exterior and interior meticulously maintained. Our guide, Ms. Liu Li, was incredibly wonderful! Her explanations were clear, informative, and clearly respectful of history. Ms. Liu saw that our entire family was interested in history and even explained several additional artifacts. The visit lasted two and a half hours. For someone who loves history, it's truly moving to hear such explanations at a museum like this. A perfect score is enough to express my happiness.
The Qin and Han Museum is worth a visit. I booked a small guided tour. Teacher Xiaoming's explanations were lively and engaging, and the children in the group were interactive. We learned a lot, which was fantastic.
The Qin and Han Museum is quite far from downtown Xi'an; a taxi ride would take 40 to 50 minutes even during non-traffic conditions. To get back to the city, I took subway line 14, then transfer to line 2 to get to Zhonglou Station. It was quite convenient, and both lines have seats.
There are cultural and creative areas and stamp collection areas on the first three floors of the museum.

Finally, I saw the long-awaited Qizai! Sibao Park, nestled at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, is such a delight to explore. Upon entering, I took a shuttle bus to Panda Pavilions 1 and 2, where I visited takins, crested ibis, vultures, golden monkeys, black bears, and more. The animals were all incredibly plump and shiny, seemingly well-treated.
The park is very large. There are elementary school students in summer camp. It seems that the keepers love giant pandas very much, but there is little publicity. The park is not very popular. Even if the keepers want to protect the national treasures, they feel powerless. I hope the park leaders will pay attention to the park publicity, boost the surrounding economy, and strive for better growth conditions for the national treasures. I call on parents to educate their children to love animals from an early age and not to fight or make noise.
