Things to do in Wuhua

I went with my wife to experience Chimelong's Halloween theme. I think I've only been to Chimelong's Halloween a few times before, this was my third. It was alright, though. There were more tourists dressed in cosplay than before, which added a lot to the festive atmosphere. The NPCs in the park were also quite helpful, and the parade was very nice. However, the park seemed smaller than before; some rides appeared to have been removed. Last time I was here, the 10-loop roller coaster was still there, but then I saw online that it had reached the end of its service life and was sold to India? This time it had become a catapult roller coaster. So many roller coasters, including the Vertical YYDS (it's been renamed, I think it's called the Circus Roller Coaster? I forget exactly). The haunted house was just so-so; it didn't feel as thrilling as before, and I felt like I could never go back to the old days. 🤔

As expected of Songcheng, it's really good. First of all, the environment is nice, and the prices are incredibly low. For example, a cup of green tea is only 6 yuan, and you can even get refills! The most interesting thing is the courtesan's dance! It's truly excellent!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars! A must-see in Chaozhou is Guangji Bridge, and it truly lives up to its reputation! As one of China's four ancient bridges and the world's earliest movable bridge, walking on it truly allows you to appreciate the remarkable wisdom of the ancients. "Eighteen shuttle boats and twenty-four islands"—one side features stone piers and pavilions, while the middle section is a pontoon bridge made of shuttle boats. Walking on the pontoon bridge, gently swaying, with the river breeze from the Han River blowing in your face, is incredibly comfortable. Rows of antique pavilions are scattered about, their couplets and plaques full of charm, and the ancient stone slabs underfoot bear the marks of time. During the day, strolling on the bridge allows you to quietly admire both banks of the Han River, with the ancient city of Chaozhou on one side, full of vibrant life. If you have enough time, you can also watch the pontoon bridge being dismantled in the evening, a famous spectacle known as "crossing the river and dismantling the bridge." At night, when the lights come on, the entire bridge is reflected in the river, creating a breathtaking night view. When you come to Chaozhou, you really can't miss Guangji Bridge. Take a walk on the bridge, feel the river breeze, and experience the cultural heritage of this ancient city. It's definitely worth it!

A truly beautiful sight! The twinkling lights and bustling crowds create a lively atmosphere. The various lanterns, adorned with different shapes and designs, depict plant landscapes, small animals, and other cultural elements, leaving a particularly deep impression.

Jingshan Slide, also known as the Sunset Roller Coaster, winds its way down the mountain from the summit. You can control your speed, feel the wind rushing past your ears, and enjoy panoramic views of Xianglu Bay as you glide – a truly unique experience. The track is well-maintained; the curves are exciting but not too thrilling, making it a great stress reliever for young people. You can take a cable car up the mountain and ride the slide down, combining tranquility and activity for a rich and varied experience.

The scenic area isn't large, but it offers a distant view of Kinmen Island, and the scenery is delightful! There are a few nice cafes near the park exit; we had a light meal there, the drinks were delicious, and most importantly, the view was absolutely stunning.

For a family trip to Xiamen, the Xiamen Science and Technology Museum is definitely a treasure trove of indoor entertainment for kids. It's perfect for both sunny and rainy days, and the air conditioning is excellent, allowing you to easily spend half a day there. Most exhibits are interactive, so it's not just about looking at pictures; kids are fully engaged. The magnetic and electric stage performance is spectacular, and the children's area features water-powered installations, climbing walls, and slides, allowing children to unleash their energy. The aquarium's Jiaolong submersible model and various sound and light science experiments make dry knowledge fun and easy to understand. During the National Day holiday, it gets quite crowded, so expect queues for popular attractions. Remember to book in advance for the Flying Over the Cinema. Overall, it balances entertainment and science education, making it both fun and educational. We recommend arriving early and managing your energy wisely. It's a great place to broaden your children's horizons and a must-visit for a family trip to Xiamen.

Walking around Furong Lake after entering the school gate is a pleasant experience. The red brick and green tile buildings in the Jiarong style are pleasing to the eye, and the large trees along the road provide shade, keeping you cool and dry. I didn't feel tired even after strolling around for half a day. The overall atmosphere is quiet and perfect for leisurely exploration.

After visiting the Thai Buddhist Hall at Kaiyuan Temple, a taxi ride cost just over three yuan took me directly to Han Yu's Ancestral Hall. Walking there would have been 1.8km, which would have been quite tiring. Taxis are relatively cheap in Chaozhou. This place mainly introduces the life of Han Yu from the Tang Dynasty, his contributions during his exile to Chaozhou, and praises his patriotism and dedication to the people. It's worth taking a short stroll, as the reservation ticket is free, essentially like visiting a small park. The ticket entrance for Guangji Bridge is just over 100 meters away. After visiting Guangji Bridge, you can go directly there to experience the culture and charm of a pontoon bridge before returning to the ancient city, avoiding backtracking.

Experiencing the elevator speed of 10 meters per second was amazing!! Reaching the 116th floor offered a breathtaking panoramic view of Shenzhen!! Next time, I'll bring my parents to experience Shenzhen's tallest building.
