Suzhou's version of Disneyland! Great for photos and fun, Yangcheng Peninsula is going shark crazy

Who would have thought that Yangcheng Lake in the crab hometown water marshes has such a hidden gem of a park? I rushed to Suzhou Haihe An Suzhou Yangcheng Peninsula Park for the Lakeside Drama Festival over the weekend, and my phone storage was instantly full—this isn’t just a park, it’s like "happiness" is welded onto your kidneys!

🚗 Transportation:
🚘 Self-driving: West Gate P1 parking lot, 30 yuan all day;
🚇 Subway: Line 5 Yangcheng Lake South Station, 700 meters walk straight to the park, even those with no sense of direction can rush there with eyes closed~

🔥 The Milk Dragon Zone is where the kids are glued
The newly opened Milk Dragon Magic Time Zone is a dream for kids! The parent-child play "Milk Dragon Magic Adventure" kicks off with kids screaming so loud it could blow the roof off; the bubble lab and sand painting DIY in the magic energy pool let younger kids soak in fun all afternoon.

🔥 Starlight Avenue Zone with 300+ NPC interactions perfect for photos
The "Internet Meme Starlight Awards NPC Gathering"… so many cosplayers gathered here, you can see tons of popular internet memes, and everyone’s acting skills are off the charts!

🎬 Performances that reach the ceiling
The 8:00 PM immersive show "The Return of the Top Scholar" is legendary! From selecting the flower queen in Gusu Market to the light and shadow show at Yingtian Gate, five acts with NPCs running all over the place, the grand Tang Dynasty atmosphere is literally painted on your face. From Friday to Sunday at 8:40 PM, there’s also the "Top Scholar Starry Sky" fireworks—once they explode, you’ve got perfect social media content~

🎢 Thrill seekers get leg-weakening fun
Suspended roller coaster + drop tower + bungee jump, this trio pumps your adrenaline to the max; when the giant pendulum swings to the highest point, you can see the wind over Yangcheng Lake trying to "escape." Want something gentler? The carousel paired with the starlit night is as photogenic as a studio shoot.

💡 Final key points
① Bring your own raincoat for water rides, the ones sold in the park are a bit pricey;
② The Milk Dragon Zone floor is slippery, put non-slip socks on the kids;
③ Night tickets are more cost-effective, covering rides + performances + fireworks all in one!

Suzhou locals finally don’t have to envy Disneyland! Whether it’s for kids, dates, or a girls’ trip, Yangcheng Peninsula Park can max out your happiness meter—trust me, rush there this weekend, or you might be lining up until dark!
