    Absolutely great value for money! Although we came during the National Day holiday and waited in line for a long time, the electric ride around and close interaction with the reindeer was very fun, haha. Remember to bring enough carrots, as there are many reindeer waiting to be fed.

    This place is like a large park. It's quite big, and the elderly and children only explored about half of it. We stayed at a nearby hot spring hotel. The next morning, my parents went back to the park to explore on their own. The children didn't really appreciate the scenery, but they had a great time on the huge slides and swings. The hot springs at the nearby hotel were also quite nice. This place is great as a secondary attraction, but it's not suitable as a main attraction for families who travel frequently. Don't eat the food inside the park; it's very expensive and the food is terrible. The products at the entrance are also very pricey.

    The Yancheng Red-crowned Crane Wetland Ecological Tourism Area is the world's largest wintering ground for wild red-crowned cranes. From November to March each year, nearly a thousand red-crowned cranes can be observed, accounting for more than 40% of the global population. It is home to over 400 species of birds (such as whooper swans, black swans, and mandarin ducks), and boasts wetland landscapes including reed marshes and waterfowl lakes, earning it the reputation of a "bird paradise." It also features a red-crowned crane museum, a rescue and breeding center, and showcases the deeds of martyr Xu Xiujuan in protecting cranes. It has been designated a "National Green Camp for Youth Nature Education."

    It's all redwood forest, and it's quite beautiful in autumn. The Sky Eye in the park offers a panoramic view of the entire forest, but it was closed the day we went, which was a shame. Since the area outside the park is also a redwood forest, it seems like you don't really need to go inside.

    I entered the park after 4 PM, and since it's winter and the off-season, there were hardly any tourists in the large scenic area. The setting sun and tranquil scenery were very relaxing. Further in was the ancient town of Yandu; the old buildings were still beautiful, but unfortunately, many were closed. It was dark when I left the scenic area, but Tangdu Lane outside the gate was brightly lit, and I even caught a performance. Although there were fewer than ten viewers, the actors performed each movement with great dedication!
