    It is worth going with a baby (under 10 years old), after all, watching animals is the fun of children. The park is very large. There are fewer people taking a taxi to the south gate. It is necessary to have a tropical fan on the cable car. The cable car is very small for two adults. You can overlook the sea bridge. The north gate cable car is in a long queue. I bought a battery ticket to visit the North District. It is very hot and tired to walk. There are not too many animals. Animals in the animal area are not active in summer, the area is not big, you need to take a car, 60 per person, give a bunch of apples, a bunch of meat, but only black bears to eat, have been to Beijing Daxing Safari Park, Chimelong, will be slightly disappointed here, all kinds of prices are inflated, service can not keep up.

    The beach of Bangyu Island is like sprinkled silver! The sand is thin and soft, and it is not awkward to walk barefoot. The sea is clear enough to see the small stones at the bottom of the water, and the Bangyu Island in the distance is like an emerald. There are pine trees on the shore, tired to rest in the shade of the trees. Many people set up tents and picnics here, and the atmosphere is particularly pleasant. In the evening, when the tide is low, you can pick up small conch, small crabs, and bring your baby to play for an afternoon, and you don't want to leave.
