The elk circle is very large, and it is recommended to buy sightseeing bus tickets directly at the ticket office. The wild elk are very smart and friendly. When they see the car stop, they will come from a distance. You can bring your own carrots and cut them into slices to feed them, which is very interesting!
Tickets are 45 yuan, and the tour bus is 15 yuan. It is recommended to bring your own carrots. The children are very happy to feed them. There is a small bag for ten yuan. It is cool to go early. If it is too hot, the elk will soak in the water and can't come out.

In the autumn, when you visit the Dutch flower sea, lilies are the main flowers, and there are also geraniums, butterfly flowers, sulfur daisies, sunflowers and other flowers blooming in a variety of colors, forming a gorgeous autumn picture.
I went there in the summer, which is considered the off-season, but there were still quite a few people and a lot of flowers. At night, the lights were turned on and there were performances. There are many amusement facilities suitable for children to play, many places suitable for taking pictures, and a flower market.

It's convenient to buy tickets on Ctrip. You can scan the code to enter the park directly. The park is very large. I rented a shared electric car and took my children around in a big circle. Personally, I feel that it is unnecessary to go around in a big circle. There is nothing to see at the end. The price of the electric car is a bit expensive. Because it is not a weekend or holiday, there are not many people. It's just that the weather is a bit hot. I watched the red-crowned cranes and other cranes up close.
It's worth a return visit. It's best to visit in autumn or winter, as migratory birds flock here around January to spend the winter. Summer is less crowded, and the main attraction is the red-crowned cranes. We purchased a ticket for the large-circuit electric tour bus with a guide, which took about an hour and a half to complete, including the viewing time. However, Ctrip's tickets are for all ages, so we bought adult tickets for our children as well. After the visit, we discovered that these tickets also have children's and student tickets, which can be purchased directly on site.

Let's enjoy the forest, where you can bring the elderly and children to breathe in the fresh air.
The scenic area could use some additional children's play equipment. Playing in the forest might be more enjoyable than just walking around. I wish the scenic area continued success.
When you look up, it's like Mount Huashan is splashing with beauty amidst the mist and rain.
A beautiful scenic spot, just as described online. A great scenic spot, just as described online. A great place to visit again. Excellent value for money, and highly praised.

It was a really great experience! From the moment I entered the park, I was surrounded by a dreamy atmosphere, especially the fantasy fairytale castle and flying over the horizon, which exceeded my expectations! Although the queue was long, the staff were very patient and the service was very good. The fireworks show at night was amazing and worth seeing. Highly recommended for the whole family! ? ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The following is a 100-word review of the Yancheng Dayang Bay tour:
Yancheng Dayang Bay is a great place. The scenic area is a blend of water and green, and the scenery is picturesque. There are the quaint Yandu Ancient Town, the majestic Dengying Pavilion, and the exciting and fun Changle Water World. There are continuous activities in all seasons, and the service facilities are complete. Walking in it, it feels like being in a paradise. Whether it is a family trip or a couple's trip, you can harvest a lot of happiness. It is worth a visit.

Suitable for children to play. You can experience 4D projects, small roller coasters, live performances and other projects. There may be more people on holidays, so book tickets in advance and arrange your itinerary. Worth recommending!
It is very convenient to book tickets on Ctrip. Everything went smoothly. I went straight into the park after getting the ticket. Very good, very good, a very good experience. I will continue to book tickets on Ctrip next time. It is very convenient to book tickets on Ctrip. Everything went smoothly. I went straight into the park after getting the ticket.

Yanzhen Water Street is such a perfect place to just chill out in the morning! 🌿
It might not be big, but it's brimming with Jiangnan charm.
Ancient buildings are reflected in the river.
In the morning, there are almost no tourists; the entire street is completely occupied!
Wandering through it, you truly feel the tranquility of time. I'm sure the afternoon will be bustling with activity.
I came to the Water Street of Yanzhen and started a pleasant journey.
As soon as I stepped into the Water Street, the quaint buildings came into view, as if I had traveled through time and space. The bluestone road was winding, with shops on both sides, and the quaint signs swayed gently in the breeze. Walking in it, I heard bursts of hawking sounds, which was very lively.
Walking along the Water Street, a clear stream runs through it, the river surface is sparkling, several small boats slowly pass by, and the tourists on the boats are laughing and talking. The weeping willows by the river are lingering, and the willow branches gently brush the water surface, rippling layers of ripples. I couldn't help but stop and sit on the stone bench by the river, quietly enjoying this picturesque scenery.
The food in the Water Street is even more mouth-watering. Candied haws, oil tea, soup dumplings... Each one exudes an attractive aroma. I tasted the steaming soup dumplings, took a bite lightly, and the delicious soup overflowed in my mouth, leaving an endless aftertaste.
Yanzhen Water Street not only has charming scenery, but also has a profound cultural heritage. It was once an important channel for salt transportation and witnessed the rise and fall of the salt industry. Today, it welcomes visitors from all over the world with a brand new attitude, making people linger.

I originally thought that there was nothing fun about this kind of place, it was all artificial classics, but when I actually went there, I found it was quite interesting. Flying drones to take the elderly for a walk, eat and drink, and there was no entrance fee. It was really good.
First of all, the scenery along the way to Dazong Lake is very beautiful. Arrive in Yancheng, navigate to Qingnian West Road, go to Qinnan Town, and the entrance of the Mangshe River Scenic Belt. It is a free scenic spot. Go south along the river. There are many children's play areas, tent leisure areas, barbecue areas, and some special attractions, such as ancient brick kilns. Play along to Dazong Lake. Dazong Lake is a 5A-level scenic spot. Tickets are required, but there is no shuttle bus here. There is an additional charge. The Dazong Lake Scenic Area is divided into the old scenic area and the new scenic area. The old scenic area is a natural scenery with a large lake view. You can take a cruise and play in the Bagua reed marsh. Take a speedboat and you can see a large group of geese flying behind the speedboat, which is particularly spectacular! The old scenic area also has performances of the Anti-Japanese War and drinks local soy milk. The new scenic area is the ancient city of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is a cultural attraction. It is mainly built in imitation of the buildings of the Song Dynasty. There are Jian'an Street, Song Street, etc. There are many local special snacks here. Dahu is a water town with more river seafood. It is cheap to eat fish here. The lights at this scenic spot are very beautiful at night. From May 1st to 4th, there will be singers singing and fireworks after 8 pm. If you stay overnight at Dazong Lake, you can go back to the other side of the Mangshe River. The river view on the other side is also very beautiful.
