Live Your Best Lives
There's paradise above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Hangzhou has been renowned for its beauty since ancient times. During holidays, the city is packed with tourists, and the well-known West Lake and Lingyin Temple are undoubtedly must-see destinations. One represents Hangzhou's natural beauty, the other its folk culture.
As a love-crazy person, you will definitely want to discover more interesting places to play. When traveling to Hangzhou, I recommend two more places to visit:
Hangzhou Paradise, Hangzhou's largest comprehensive theme park, offers dozens of thrilling rides to get your adrenaline pumping. It's like the Disneyland of Hangzhou. Whether you're traveling with children or as a couple, it's the perfect destination.
——Songcheng Scenic Area. Everyone knows that Hangzhou is the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. Songcheng has built a scenic area with the core of restoring the style of the Southern Song Dynasty. Walking into it, it feels like traveling through a thousand years.
Today I will share with you how to have a great time in Hangzhou Paradise in two days and one night.
A more casual arrangement, suitable for local friends in Hangzhou during holidays or weekends, as well as friends traveling to Hangzhou from other places, combined with other entertainment in Hangzhou.
Like most scenic spots, you can get a paper ticket at the window to enter. The price of buying tickets online will be more favorable. Hangzhou Paradise Scenic Area also has its own Langlanglang Water Park in summer. Take the left channel and go to Hangzhou Paradise through the right channel.
Stepping into Songcheng Customs Street, you'll find everything from the shops to the pedestrians, all embracing an ancient charm. From time to time, pedestrians in period costumes walk the streets, beating gongs to announce the time. The sounds of shouting, cheering, and laughter will instantly make you forget your fatigue and feel like you've traveled back in time.
As the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou has a rich cultural heritage. As a local company in Hangzhou, Songcheng Group has fully displayed the culture of the Southern Song Dynasty. While appreciating modern cities, it can also help us remember history and take a time-travel trip to the ancients. Although Hangzhou Paradise is mainly composed of amusement facilities, it still retains a small piece of the original Song Street.
I have been to many scenic spots built by Songcheng, and there are these small projects all over the water. They are great for warming up, and you may even have a wet trip.
Fengqing Street's immersive performances are packed with diverse performances every day, keeping you coming back for more. From magic to acrobatics, from street performances to marriage proposals... Speaking of throwing the ball, the one who gets hit will be personally invited into the home of Mr. Wang. To find out what happens next, come and see it live.
As a rich and diverse Songcheng Commercial Street, there are many shops and various experiences, including archery, haunted houses, and various delicacies and small commodities. You can stop here for a while.
At the foot of the Red Mansion, this folk stunt master can spit fire dragons from his mouth, which makes tourists dumbfounded. I have only seen this stunt in my childhood memory, in a circus performance. Until now, I still don’t understand what they hold in their mouths?
You must come and see this magician's performance of sleight of hand. Not only does he have great hand speed, his acting skills are also first-rate. He made us dizzy and the little rubber ball seemed to obey his commands. If you can crack it, please leave a message to tell me.
This strange street is highly recommended for you to visit. Not only is its creativity brilliant, but its convex shapes are also stunning. Built according to the dreams of Emperor Gaozong of Song, Zhao Gou, the street features slanted houses, upside-down houses, horizontal houses, and even invisible houses. Every house on the street has its own unique story, creating a myriad of unimaginable and bizarre scenes. It's truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship, truly breathtaking.
The live-action war drama "Yingshanhong" is performed every day at the Hangzhou Paradise Grand Theater. This is a brand-new stage play by Songcheng. The performance uses advanced sound, light, electricity and stage technology to restore the fierce and cruel war scenes.
The biggest difference of this stage play is not the content, but the real participation of tourists and audiences in it. The on-site director of this play will invite tourists under the stage to sign up for group performances before the performance. This is also the first time that Songcheng has launched the "I am an Actor in Songcheng" interactive model. After changing clothes and the director's on-site guidance, the stage play officially begins.
If you watched the show halfway through, after watching the show, you might not realize that there were tourists among the outstanding actors in the show. The magnificent scenes, exquisite stage effects, and just the right music and effects all made this show a vivid experience of the Red Army soldiers' heroic and fearless performances.
Every audience member who participates in the performance will receive a performance certificate, souvenirs and performance photos, making your trip to Hangzhou Paradise extraordinarily special.
I've watched the Songcheng Eternal Love series of performances, and they always leave me in awe. Don't miss this series, which runs only once a day from 2:30 PM to 3:00 PM. Before the show begins, there will be people walking along the street shouting to let everyone know.
When visiting Hangzhou Paradise, the attractions are undoubtedly the primary reason for choosing the destination, and I'm no exception. The park boasts dozens of thrilling rides, including the Hanging Roller Coaster, Hammer of the Rain God, Hand of the Wind God, Twin Pirate Ships, Skycross, Terror Circus Ship, and Escape Room. In addition, there are dozens of children's rides, including A Bug's Life, the Musical Boat, and bumper cars.
First, we came to the Mayan tribal area to watch a Mayan dance festival, with high cliffs, ancient walls, stone carvings, temples, and Mayans.
Behind the remaining tropical rainforest lies a lost ancient civilization, attracting countless explorers. If you're an avid treasure hunter, journey through this mysterious land to experience a unique thrill filled with desire, danger, and excitement.
After experiencing this swing hammer, I felt the thrill of weightlessness. If you are afraid of heights, you must close your eyes, otherwise you will have a heart attack like me.
Summarize the projects of Hangzhou Paradise
🎢 Roller Coaster
The queue was very long, about an hour and a half. If you are timid, please close your eyes throughout the whole process, but if you are brave enough, you must try it!
Circus of Horrors
Highly recommended. Watching a horror show with a group of people, the actors in it would jump next to you from time to time to scare you. Sometimes the scariest thing was not the performance, but the screams of the girls next to you.
Jungle Swing
The swing will rise slowly and rotate not very fast, so you can use your phone to take pictures and enjoy the scenery from high altitude.
Bungee jumping machine
Just want to say that the bungee jumping machine here is not scary at all😄
If you are tired of playing, you can take a break. There is a green train here where you can take various artistic photos, as well as a carousel and a claw machine. The artistic and fresh photos will be a hit in minutes.
An ancient book says: "Bath in spring to raise the sun and strengthen the body. Bath in hot springs in summer to dispel summer heat. Soak in hot springs in autumn to moisten the lungs and promote bowel movement. Bath in a pool in winter to warm the dantian." Hot springs and skiing, like rafting and water play in summer, are standard activities.
As the sky darkens, after a tiring day of sightseeing, relax at Yunman Hot Springs. Yunman Hot Springs is a bicarbonate hot spring, certified by national authorities as a medical-grade, low-sodium, radon-free hot spring. The water here is naturally natural and unique, boasting 33 pools across four distinct areas: the Rainforest Bubble Spring, the Original Soup Tribe, the Xiangju Flower House, and the Tianzhu Thatched Cottage.
If you feel particularly relaxed and relaxed after soaking, then congratulations, the health benefits of the radon hot springs have begun to show. Tea and various seasonings are available near the hot spring pools for your reference and selection, which is also a kind of scientific knowledge.
Currently, Yunman Hot Spring has four major areas, among which the Rainforest Bubble Spring is the largest. It has multiple functions such as bubbles and massage, and emphasizes experience.
There are also areas for tourists to rest inside. All rest areas provide guests with fruits, drinks, newspapers and magazines. It is perfect for some entertainment after taking a bath!
Of course, you can’t forget the delicious food during your trip. The different restaurants in Hangzhou Paradise have different styles.
Lunch: Tropical Rainforest Private Room
Dinner: Thai Xiang Pavilion Buffet Dinner (Steak Set Menu)
Breakfast: Buffet breakfast at Taixiang Pavilion
Now we have also launched a Ferris wheel buffet, where couples can bring their loved ones to experience this romance.
The Tropical Rainforest Restaurant is built entirely in the style of a tropical rainforest, with banana trees, palm leaves, fountains and pools, and the yellow beach tones. Are you in Bali or Padang Beach?
The private room environment is suitable for groups of 5-10 people per table.
The dishes ordered at the Chinese restaurant Tropical Rainforest are small and exquisite, and the taste is also good. The dishes are mainly Hangzhou specialties.
For breakfast and dinner, we chose the Tai Xiang Pavilion buffet, which combines Chinese, Western and Japanese cuisine. The full table makes you want to eat everything.
The seafood was quite fresh, cooked and then chilled, which was quite refreshing in the relatively warm weather of Hangzhou. The Japanese dining table was filled with a variety of sushi, neatly arranged, delicious and beautiful.
Then there is a stall where you can fry various kinds of fish. The salty sea fish are very delicious no matter how you fry them. There is also a food and table and chair area specially prepared for children. It is a very user-friendly design. Like many European and American countries, there are special service areas for children.
The most anticipated event right now is the newly added Ferris wheel dinner buffet, a truly romantic affair that will instantly go viral on social media. Drinking champagne, taking in the scenery, and riding the Ferris wheel—it feels like something out of a dream. As night falls, the shimmering neon lights of the buildings illuminate the night sky, a truly captivating experience.
As for accommodation recommendations, we chose the First World Hotel. It's conveniently located near Hangzhou Amusement Park, and you can hear the screams of the roller coaster from the moment you open the window. The hotel boasts a European palace-style ambiance, exuding understated luxury. With warm yellow hues, lace curtains, a small chandelier, and a large, carved bed, you can be your own king here.
