★The queue time in the park, performance time and height requirements for the projects can be found by searching for "Journey to the West Theme Park" on WeChat Mini Program.

*Some recommended projects with features:
★Making a fuss in the Heavenly Palace
★Wisely taking the banana fan
★The journey through the Great Thunder Sound Temple
★The birth of the Monkey King
★Bravely breaking into the Spider Cave (wearing 3D glasses, the effect is not bad)
★Three fights with the White Bone Demon: I didn't play because I was worried that the child would be scared. It is said that the swing amplitude is very large, very exciting, and many people were shaken and vomited after coming down, haha If it weren't for the child, I would have to experience it.
★The theater performance in Wuzhuang View is also good, check the performance time in advance on WeChat Mini Program
★There are some projects for smaller children in the Fire Cloud Cave
I took my child on leave at the end of October, so there were very few people, no need to queue, and the experience was very good. While the child is still in kindergarten, take him out to play more, after all, childhood is very short, parents must accompany more.

Hexia Ancient Town is located in the northwest corner of Huai'an District of Huai'an City. It is an important military town, a cultural center and a salt merchant town in history. It has a history of more than 2,500 years.
Wu Wangfu has cut the trenches. It is in the throat connecting the Jianghuai, which is conducive to the transfer of grain in the north and south. At the same time, there are many celebrities in the river. There are great writers Wu Chengen, heroes of the heroes Liang Hongyu, and one of the four saints of the military. Waiting for historical celebrities.
Walking on the bluestone road in the ancient town of Hexia, the quaint houses on both sides are full of antiques, and the old days are faintly visible.
After visiting Huai'an 6 times, I've compiled a list of great places to visit and take photos
Huai'an is really quite off the beaten path and very relaxing. If you've never been and happen to have some free time, it's definitely worth a visit! The crowds aren't overwhelming, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the food is delicious!
【Itinerary】
Day 1
Leisurely stroll through the ancient city
Hexia Ancient Town - Xiaohu Park
DAY 2
Family-friendly route
Dragon Palace White Whale - Journey to the West Theme Park
DAY 3
Old town route
Xiaonanmen - Qingyan Garden - Flower Street - Li Canal Cultural Corridor - Visit the Grand Canal City Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition
【Must-Visit Spots】
1️⃣ Hexia Ancient Town
The commercial atmosphere is very subtle, with blue bricks and stone tiles, and many original residents still live on the streets, giving it a lively atmosphere! At night, the lanterns create a wonderful ambiance.
2️⃣ Journey to the West Theme Park
A theme park based on the classic Chinese tale 'Journey to the West'. All the scenes and attractions are related to the story. There are many attractions, and it's worth a visit!
3️⃣ Xiaonanmen
An old market that is about to be relocated, with a very local vibe, perfect for street photography and food hunting. Just go for it when you see something delicious! It's mostly locals shopping here.
4️⃣ Flower Street
A very artistic street, quite short, perfect for taking photos📸. It leads out to the Li Canal.
5️⃣ Li Canal Cultural Corridor
The Li Canal is so nice for an evening stroll, giving a relaxed feeling, and you can also take a boat ride🚤
The ancient town of Hexia shines brightly under the patronage of Kui Xing, producing many talents
Following the establishment of Huai'an's transportation significance during the Ming and Qing dynasties, its commercial status was also cemented. Wealthy citizens began to value education, adhering to the principle that learning leads to officialdom. With many becoming officials, culture flourished as well.
The tallest ancient structure in Hexia is the Kui Xing Pavilion, the most dazzling street view is that of the Zhuangyuan (top scholar) Building, and the tastiest restaurant is called 'Wen Lou' (Literature Building). This illustrates how much the people who once lived in Hexia longed for the blessing of literary fortune.
Indeed, Kui Xing's favor shone brightly here. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the town produced 67 Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations), 123 Juren (successful candidates in the provincial examinations), and 12 Hanlin (imperial scholars). This count does not even include the exceptionally talented Mr. Wu Cheng'en.
This ancient city, with a history of over 2,500 years, attracts tourists with its rich cultural heritage and historical sites.
The residence of Shen Kun, a Zhuangyuan (top scholar), is located near the Zhuangyuan Bridge at the entrance of Bamboo Alley Street. Today, many children visited, passing through the Official's Building and being lifted onto the Zhuangyuan Horse by their parents, their joy as if they were starting a life on a winning streak.
Kui Xing is a deity from ancient Chinese mythology, believed by the people to be the god who presides over literary fortune. The three-story Kui Xing Pavilion on Chenghe Street is not only one of the important attractions of Hexia but also a symbol of the local people's yearning and reverence for knowledge.
Huaian, why don't you promote here, you're confused!
Only to regret and find out, this ancient town of more than 2500 years is really beautiful!
I've been to many places and visited many ancient towns, but Huaian can be remembered for its elegance.
Because the old buildings here are very distinctive, bluestone alley, carved civilian houses, flowers and plants full of doors, there are shadows of the bustling streets of ancient Huaian, and also the fireworks of old-fashioned folk snacks.
There are many celebrities coming out of Hexia ancient town, including the anti-Japanese hero Shen Kun, the 'drum-beating to retreat gold' Liang Hongyu, and the residence of Wu Cheng'en, the author of 'Journey to the West', is not far from Hexia ancient town.
The old Huaian food 'Wenlou', 'Century Sunshine', 'Yuejia Tea San', 'Qingong Meat Round' and other shops are also here.
There will also be various festival activities here during the holidays. There are lotus lantern activities near Liang Hongyu Temple, and the door of Shen Kun's champion mansion is the champion's red spot. There are also 'patrolling soldiers' and tourists taking photos together.
It feels that there are fewer tourists in other scenic spots in Huaian on holidays, and it is really the most lively here.
