roller coaster
The basic structure of a roller coaster includes climbs, drops, and inversions. The track design doesn't necessarily have to be a complete loop; it can also be designed so that the car moves back and forth on the track. Most roller coasters have passenger cars that accommodate two, four, or six people, and these cars are connected to each other by hooks, just like a train. At its most basic level, a roller coaster is simply a machine that uses gravity and inertia to propel the train along a winding track.
Bungee Trampoline
A bungee trampoline uses a trampoline, elastic ropes, and lifting columns to allow you to jump up to four meters in the air and perform a variety of tricks. How exhilarating! It improves your coordination in mid-air, putting unique tension on your joints and muscles. It's both a workout and a lot of fun. No skill is required, and anyone, young or old, can bravely give it a try. You're sure to love "Happy Bungee Jumping" for its exhilarating thrill. Imagine being lifted up to four meters in the air by a trampoline, an extremely elastic Malaysian-imported elastic rope, and two columns. Then, effortlessly performing a variety of tricks in the air, you experience the thrill of soaring—the feeling of freedom and transcendence.

Shangqiu is an ancient city in eastern Henan province with a history of over 4,000 years and once served as a capital for early Chinese states. The Happy Valley water-park in Shangqiu adds modern leisure to the city’s mix of historical sites.
It is located in Suiyang District, Shangqiu, Henan Province. You can reach it by local bus or taxi from downtown Shangqiu—taxi is likely easiest.
The attraction lists opening at about 9:00 AM until around 5:30 PM. The best time to visit is midday when the rides are open and when you want the full water experience.
Ticket information is listed via Trip.com, but specific current pricing may vary. Tickets can typically be purchased on-site or via the attraction’s official listing online.
Advance booking is recommended for busy holidays or when special promotions apply, though not always strictly required on regular days.
Plan for about 2–3 hours to enjoy key rides and water features; if you’re there for a full day, allocate more so you’re not rushed.
This is a leisure water/amusement park rather than a museum, so formal guided tours/audio guides are not typical; you’ll navigate attractions at your own pace.
Good photo spots include the large wave pool with splash action, the beach-like zone, and the high slides in action. Try capturing early in the day when lighting is better.
Start with gentler rides and children’s area if you have kids, move to bigger slides & wave pool mid-day, finish with relaxing food and rest area as you wind down.

Children are well-catered for with paddling pools and gentler rides. Elderly or disabled visitors may find some rides unsuitable, but common areas and restaurants are accessible.

Near the park you’ll find local restaurants and snack vendors listed in Trip.com listings.
Vegetarian dishes (simple stir-fries, noodles) are typically available; dedicated vegan or halal specific menus may be limited—check locally.
Since Shangqiu is a city area, you’ll find hotel chains and local guesthouses in the Suiyang District close enough to commute to the park.
