I went to Hangzhou and my parents thought I went to Xinjiang

Just 1 hour from Hangzhou! This "mini Xinjiang" with grasslands + cold springs will make your whole summer unforgettable
After a trip near Hangzhou, my mom was convinced I'd flown to Xinjiang! Just an hour's drive from the city lies a hidden paradise—vast grasslands straight out of a desktop wallpaper, where every photo looks cinematic. Add forest roller coasters and grass sliding for maximum thrills, plus a ticket that includes Cold Spring Bay with its glass-clear, icy water—a lifesaver in the scorching heat!

🚶‍♀️ Perfect itinerary (no backtracking):
Cold Spring Bay water fun → Ghibli-style grasslands → Forest roller coaster → Bumper cars → Grass sliding → New Zealand-style sledding. The pace is just right, with breaks whenever you need—so fun you won’t want to leave!

💦 Cold Spring Bay guide (key highlights!):
The water here is truly glass-jelly clear! Crystal-cold and shaded by trees—nature’s perfect sun umbrella for summer.

💗 Thoughtfully zoned for all ages:
- Shallow play area: Knee-deep water lets kids splash safely, with hidden seating for parents to relax and supervise hands-free.
- Wave slide: Open to kids over 1m, with non-slip design and lifeguards. The rush of cool water from head to toe is unbeatable!
- Mini drift: Gentle currents perfect for toddlers, floating slowly through emerald channels like a painting.
- S-bend rapids: Thrilling twists and turns for older kids, with splashes that scream summer!
- Willow boats: Paddle through cold springs, spotting rocks and fish below—so scenic you’ll want to drift forever.

🌿 Must-try activities: Thrills + chill:
- Giant lawn: Run, roll, or fly kites like you’re in Hulunbuir! The vibrant green grass and open skies will have friends asking if you’re in Xinjiang.
- NZ sled: Speed down hills with controlled drifts—fun even for kids.
- Rainbow slide: A magic carpet ride to the top, then a 90° adrenaline-pumping drop.
- Forest coaster: Zoom through treetops, leaving stress behind with every twist.

📝 Pro tips:
- Pack a waterproof phone case, water guns, and extra clothes—you’ll get soaked!
