Things to do in Yancheng

It's a good place to take children, as you can ride a shuttle bus and interact closely with the deer. However, we didn't see a large herd of deer, and the other interactive and fun aspects were just average.

The Red-crowned Crane Park is quite far from the city center. There were many tourists, but because it's so large, it didn't feel crowded. I went outside the red-crowned crane migration season, so I didn't see the spectacular sight of flocks of cranes flying overhead, but there were still performances by artificially bred red-crowned cranes to watch. While not as entertaining, the wetland scenery was truly breathtaking, a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it a place I wanted to linger in. I would definitely come back again if I had the chance.

Go at the right time, and you absolutely must see the Eye in the Sky (I think that's the name, I've forgotten). The view from above is absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend this place; we went twice.

The Dutch Flower Sea during the National Day holiday is in full swing, with nearly 500,000 lilies of over 30 varieties blooming in a vibrant display. Pink, pale purple, and pure white lilies weave a colorful carpet, creating a picturesque scene alongside other flowers like spider flowers and sulfur cosmos. Every snapshot is a masterpiece. During the day, there's a flower parade, "A Dream of Flowers," and a European-style song and dance show. At night, a drone fireworks and light show creates a truly immersive atmosphere. The upgraded "Only Love: A Theatrical Fantasy City" show is worth seeing, offering a unique and immersive experience. It's recommended to enter in the afternoon to watch the sunset and enjoy the evening show for a more complete experience. The NPC games and interactive activities after dark are also worth trying.

You absolutely must buy a ticket for the scenic area shuttle bus when visiting Dayang Bay. It stops at several stations and runs approximately every 10 minutes. We drove to the West Gate, then took a small shuttle bus to the South Gate, and then a larger shuttle bus from the South Gate, stopping at several attractions in rotation. There are tons of shows in the scenic area, but unfortunately Dad didn't like them, so we left after about three hours. (Show schedule attached.)

The surrounding area boasts excellent amenities, with restaurants, entertainment venues, and shopping all within easy reach, making travel incredibly convenient. The hotel itself is elegantly decorated, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Ella is warm, sincere, and provides attentive and thoughtful service, ensuring a very comfortable stay throughout!

I bought an annual pass, which is close to the park. The kids are very happy. There are fewer people during the week and the park closes at 5 o'clock. I play bumper cars several times every time. It's very good! The safety is also very high

Dazong Lake is definitely worth a visit, although many shops are closed during the day and only gradually open in the afternoon. The scenery is quite nice, especially the reed marshes. You must take a boat into the lake; otherwise, you won't feel the mystery and adventure of being there from the outside. Behind the reed marshes, there's an old street (I can't remember the name), where you can find dried tofu (5 skewers for 10 yuan), which is delicious and healthy. Wontons are also 10 yuan, quite affordable. The shopkeepers have three large orange cats, which are a bit afraid of people. We walked from Dongjin Water City to Dazong Lake, circled around it, and returned to the Water City, which took about half a day. Those with good stamina can walk this route; the sightseeing bus only goes around the outer perimeter, so exploring on your own will allow you to see many different views along the way.

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.

It was raining when we went. We took a tour bus to the beach. I didn't get a picture of the spoon-shaped rock formation. We walked along the beach for a bit. It was quite late when we arrived, almost closing time. There's a bird museum at the tide-watching point that you can visit. We stayed for less than an hour and a half before the last shuttle bus left, and the driver urged us to go back. Maybe we should come when the weather is nice to see the spoon-shaped rock formation?
