    Daming Lake truly lives up to its reputation as the Pearl of Jinan! The scenery of "lotuses on all four sides and willows on three" is indeed breathtaking. The lake is wide and clear, with weeping willows swaying gently, and pavilions and ancient buildings scattered in a picturesque manner. Strolling along the lakeside, a gentle breeze caresses your face, filling you with poetic and picturesque beauty, and allowing you to experience its profound cultural heritage. It's free to enter, which is incredibly generous. A visit here is a pleasant and relaxing experience, definitely worthwhile!

    We went on a weekday, but escaping the hustle and bustle of the city and finding this peaceful haven was wonderful and very pleasant. Shandong residents get a 2-for-1 discount on tickets. The scenic area is huge, with a lot of shows, and the light show at night is beautiful! Highly recommended!

    Stepping into the park is like entering a world of adorable creatures! Giant pandas are endearingly munching on bamboo, golden monkeys leap through the forest, and giraffes nibble at their food – a truly heartwarming sight. In the predator enclosure, watch lions and tigers roam through glass; in the aviary, peacocks display their magnificent plumage; and red pandas huddle together in the sun, their cuteness melting hearts. The park is lush with greenery, its gentle paths are easy to walk along, and the sounds of animals fill the air, creating a truly natural ambiance. Two hours is all it takes to explore the core area, allowing for close interaction with the animals and immersing yourself in the ecological atmosphere – perfect for family trips or solo relaxation!

    First, it's truly unique! Unlike other amusement parks, Fantawild Oriental Myths skillfully blends traditional Chinese culture, myths, and legends with high-tech attractions. We enjoyed "Legend of Nüwa," where we followed the goddess Nuwa as she journeyed through the heavens and earth, mending the heavens and saving the world. The combination of 4D effects and a dynamic rail car was an incredible experience, and my kids exclaimed, "It's so cool!" Then there's "Legend of the Butterfly," a four-sided magical theater that beautifully and powerfully depicts the story of Liang Zhu. Even my mom was moved. This experience of experiencing the charm of Chinese culture while having fun is truly unique. Second, the diverse attractions are perfect for all ages! · Thrill-seekers absolutely can't miss the "Jungle Dragon" wooden roller coaster. The high-speed plunges and twists of the ride, and the roar and swaying of the wooden structure are incredibly thrilling and incredibly relaxing! · A top choice for families: I took my kids to the "Boonie Bears Theater," and they danced with joy, feeling like they were stepping into a cartoon. There are also rides like "Star Chariot" and "Wave Train," perfect for younger children. Cultural Immersion: The large-scale stage play "Meng Jiangnu" was deeply moving, with top-notch stage effects and performances. The grand spectacle is truly worth a visit. The bungee jumping attraction within the Leifeng Pagoda is thrilling and ties in perfectly with the theme of the Legend of the White Snake, boasting a truly creative experience! As for the service and other aspects: The park was exceptionally clean, and the staff were welcoming and proactive in greeting and providing directions. Restrooms and rest areas were plentiful and convenient. We had lunch within the park, and while the food options were quite varied and a bit pricey, the food was both tasty and generous. Tip: We recommend downloading the "Fantawild Travel" app in advance. This app provides real-time maps, wait times, and showtimes, allowing you to plan your itinerary and save time. Summary: Jinan Fantawild Oriental Myths is an underrated gem! More than just an amusement park, it's an immersive "world of Eastern mythology" for the whole family. Whether you're a thrill-seeker, a senior citizen fascinated by cultural stories, or just innocent children, everyone can find their own joy here. I have recommended it to my friends and will come again next time I have the chance!

    Fantastic! Although it was raining, it didn't dampen our enthusiasm for the visit at all. The animals seemed even more energetic in this kind of weather. The only downside was that the elephants and giraffes couldn't be seen outdoors because of the rain.

    Was a good experience, but I feel paying 95rmb is a bit expensive for what you experience. Definitely a place a would recommend you have to experience once but that is enough. 3-4 hours is enough time and I would definitely recommend buying a ticket before the time it does really save time.

    The next day, we booked a small set meal for 168 RMB. We arrived at 6:00-7:00 AM. The walk up was pleasant, but the climb out of Dragon Palace was a bit steep. After that, we continued down the mountain, enjoying various glass suspension bridges and slides. The 168 RMB did not include the magic carpet and rafting. The steps down past the Millennium Buddha were quite steep, but the descent was quick, and the entrance was right at the end. The food and drinks were reasonably priced. The 809 bus stop was about 1 km away, leaving at 2:00 PM for Zhonggong. After dinner at a farmhouse, we joined the locals and headed back to town. The weather was beautiful, with gentle breezes and picturesque scenery, perfect for a young person's autumn getaway.
