Anji Baicao Garden Summer Guide (Avoid Pitfalls + Recommendations)

❌ Pitfall Warnings

1. Buy tickets online in advance! Adult tickets are 150 RMB (195 RMB on-site), free for children under 1.2 meters, half price for students/seniors with ID, don’t buy the less cost-effective combo tickets~

2. The scenic area covers 5,600 acres! Rent an electric cart (80 RMB/hour) or buy a small train ticket (60 RMB/day), walking takes too much time!

3. Lion and tiger show at 10:30/14:30, sea lion show at 11:00/15:00, arrive 20 minutes early to secure a spot, or you’ll wait for hours!

4. The grassland is exposed with no shade, bring sun-protective clothing and Huoxiang Zhengqi water for 35℃+ heat, and prepare a folding umbrella for sudden rain.

✅ Must-Do Activities

• Cute pet interaction: feed giraffes (10 RMB/carrot), pet prairie dogs, and enjoy a thrilling night tour in the predator zone listening to wolf howls!

• Fun experiences: golden roller coaster through bamboo forest, wetland rafting (wear quick-dry clothes), glass plank road for “sky mirror” photos (lighter clothes look better).

🏨 Accommodation Recommendations

• Inside the park: Zhongnan Resort Hotel (around 300 RMB per person, 5-minute walk to the park entrance, includes breakfast)

• Nearby homestay: Niba Courtyard (around 200 RMB per person, 1.7 km from the park, offers tea picking and bamboo shoot digging)

🍜 Food Without Regrets

• Li Dong Farmhouse: braised pork with dried bamboo shoots (tender meat and fresh shoots), white tea prawns

• Park snacks: Wu Jun Food Street soup dumplings (thin skin, juicy), marinated tofu (5 RMB/portion)

• Desserts: County’s “Si Xiao Qian” white tea ice cream + bamboo tube milk tea

🎁 Must-Buy Souvenirs

• Anji white tea: taste at the white tea shop at the park exit before buying, coupons available in live streams for better deals

• Bamboo products: buy bamboo woven baskets (20-50 RMB) at Changsheng Market in Dipu Town

• Dried bamboo shoots: vacuum-packed at the park’s direct sales point, great for stewing meat
