The scenic area's shuttle bus offers the option to drive yourself via QR code for 60 yuan per hour, easily accommodating two adults and two children. The park itself, with its two mountains and one lake, is quite large; walking around without the shuttle would take more than half a day. The Water Pavilion is great for sightseeing, and the Renshou Palace is large and beautiful, and not commercialized.

Suitable for family trips, with convenient transportation. There are many kinds of animals, the park is very large, and you can drive your own car. Renting a panda-themed car is very comfortable for a family, and there's a lot of interaction with the animals. Kapibala is very gentle.

It's alright. There are indoor and outdoor pools. The indoor pools are mainly children's play pools, and the outdoor pools are mainly soaking pools. If you say there are more than 100 pools, I don't think it looks like there are more than 100 pools.

During the self-driving trip, I chose to stop at the Changde Daxiaohe Street. After nightfall, when the lights were on, I took a walk on the river street, ate along the way, and felt the evening breeze of Liuye Lake. It was so pleasant! The Changde rice noodles and bowl dishes on the river street are also very distinctive. The city of Changde gives people a feeling of cleanliness and freshness, and the pace of life is not too fast, which is exactly the fulfillment of the saying "Changde, so smart".

I didn't expect that the Chengtoushan ruins in Li County, Changde, are so amazing! Under the explanation of the tour guide, I looked at the unearthed cultural relics and the delivery was fast! Big brands have good quality and are trustworthy! The original appearance of the city wall ruins, thinking that this is the place where the ancient ancestors lived and multiplied five or six thousand years ago, it is really shocking!

It is worth a visit. It is recommended to come in the morning. There are few people in the morning, so there is basically no need to queue, and it is comfortable. Especially for friends who like to play exciting roller coasters, you can come and play. The roller coaster in the park has an inverted process and a process that is worse than death. The bungee jumping here is very comfortable. Rent an electric car. A family of several people happily play in the park, which is very labor-saving.

It drizzled all day, but we still went to Yiwangxi to keep up with our itinerary, even though there were only four of us. The boat trips still went ahead as planned. The scenery along the river was beautiful; the mountains seemed veiled in a thin gauze, like a woman half-concealing her face, ethereal and otherworldly. Unfortunately, photos taken on the river didn't capture the full effect. But the view was absolutely breathtaking.
