    Geyuan is on Dongguan Street, and the ticket price is also good, not expensive. Adults, children, and the elderly can go. I heard the introduction that the bamboo leaves inside are like a word, so it is called a garden. The buildings, rockery, and plants inside have their own characteristics, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, spring, summer, autumn and winter, wonderful ideas, one step at a time, it is the top-class garden. I think it is very worth going here.

    Changzhou China Dinosaur Park is definitely worth a visit! The park has a clear theme, with dinosaur elements everywhere. It not only has exciting rides, but also popular science exhibitions, which are both educational and entertaining. The park is clean and tidy, and the performances and interactive sessions are also wonderful, which the children especially like. The overall experience is great, suitable for family outings. The long banquet at the door is also quite good.

    The float parade must be opened, and you can also interact with the actors. The proper sense of ritual and participation is not in the queue at Disney's back of the crowd. I like ❤️ very much.

    I found a dream garden in Monet's pen on the bank of Wuxi Taihu Lake. It is red like fire, pink like Xiaxia, blue like a gem. It is colorful and beautiful. I can't see it with my eyes. I don't know where to go on the Dragon Boat Festival on weekends. You can consider it here.

    Beautiful park filled with flowers and locations for photo ops. Would highly recommend arriving here an hour or so before sunset, then staying till night to watch the performances (there are multiple, but be sure to check the times ahead of time so you don't miss them since most are only 5 mins) - the lights are gorgeous!FYI - the usage instructions in the confirmation email I received said to report the phone number entered for the purchase in order to pick up tickets - this did not work for me, but they were able to search for my reservation with my passport.
