As Xuzhou's hottest "blue IP" in recent years, Oulebao Ocean Polar World uses 100,000 square meters of immersive ocean secrets, nearly a thousand rare marine creatures, and three original stage plays to blend "Finding Nemo" and "Disney happiness" into every breath. Here, you can experience the healing "whale close-up," the dreamy "underwater tunnel," and the "fairy tale world" carousel. It's perfect for families with children aged 2-12 (stroller rentals available for younger kids, and older kids can have a blast), and even a "romantic check-in spot" for couples. The best part is—super cost-effective! One ticket = aquarium + fairy tale world (included in some packages). Compared to single parks that cost hundreds of yuan, this place meets the dual needs of "seeing the ocean + playing in a fairy tale," no wonder it has become a must-visit for family trips in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai! 2. Basic Information: Address, Transportation, Tickets—all in one article Transportation: High-speed rail: Take the high-speed train to Xuzhou East Station, then a taxi for about 30 minutes, or take Metro Line 1 (Xuzhou East Station → People's Square Station), then transfer to a bus to "Oulebao Ocean World Station." Self-driving: Navigate directly to the scenic area; parking fee is 10 yuan/8 hours. Airplane: Fly to Xuzhou Guanyin International Airport, then taxi for about 40 minutes, or take the airport shuttle bus to "Xuzhou Bus Terminal," then transfer to a bus. 3. Must-visit Check-in Spots: From "Whale Close-up" to "Fairy Tale World," none can be missed The fun of Xuzhou Oulebao lies in its "immersive" experience—each venue has a "story," and every attraction is "interactive," especially the following "star check-in spots" that you absolutely cannot miss! 1. Whale Bay: The healing hit of the "ocean canaries" Highlight: A "visual bomb" right at the entrance! Two huge belugas (from the Arctic Ocean) "stick" to the glass, sometimes wagging their tails, blowing bubbles, and even swimming along with visitors' hand gestures. The park opens at 9:30 am when there are fewer people, perfect for capturing pure shots of "belugas + blue sky." Wearing light-colored clothes is recommended for better photos. Hidden tip: Arrive 10 minutes early and stand in the center of Whale Bay to capture the scene of "belugas swimming overhead." 2. Underwater Tunnel: 360° panoramic "undersea dragon palace" Highlight: Three underwater tunnels with distinct styles (freshwater, sharks, deep sea), nearly 100 meters long. The freshwater tunnel features giant arapaimas (like "submarines") and electric eels (faintly visible in the blue water); the shark tunnel has lemon sharks (patrolling in formation) and manta rays (gliding with wings spread); the deep-sea tunnel has rays ("smiling" wings) and schools of tropical fish. Photo tip: Stand on the "viewing platform" in the middle of the tunnel to shoot fish swimming overhead or use your phone to capture the "coral at the tunnel's end," looking like a "starry underwater sky." 3. Heart of the Ocean: 9-meter-high "flowing oil painting" Highlight: The most stunning cylindrical aquarium in the park (9 meters high, 8 meters in diameter) filled with Australian tropical fish (like angelfish and parrotfish). The fish swim around the coral like a "flowing oil painting." It's recommended to stand at the "base of the cylinder" to capture the "fish swirling" or use a wide-angle lens to shoot the contrast between the "cylinder + visitors" to emphasize its "immensity." 4. Amazon Exploration: Journey through the "primeval rainforest" Highlight: Using sound, light, and electricity to recreate the "mystery" of the Amazon rainforest—giant arapaimas (swimming under a big waterfall), electric eels (flashing in the blue water), raccoons (climbing trees and playing), and parrots (mimicking speech). Great for educating kids about "rainforest ecology." Hidden tip: Have lunch at the "Rainforest Restaurant," where the window overlooks the "Amazon River," allowing you to watch fish swim by while eating. 5. Ocean Gala: The "talent show" of animal stars Highlight: Three theater performances (dolphins, sea lions, walruses). Dolphin shows include "ball balancing in the air," "tail fin hitting the ball," and "hula hoop spinning"; sea lions perform "water basketball" and "math" (can calculate 1+1=2); walruses play "harmonica" and do "sit-ups" (a 300-kg "chubby uncle," full of laughs). Tips: Arrive 30 minutes early to get "front-row seats" (especially for the dolphin show) to feel the splash of dolphins leaping out of the water and even interact with them (like touching their backs). 6. Mermaid Romance: The "romantic hit" of underwater ballet Highlight: Mermaid performances in the underwater theater, with performers wearing "fish tail skirts" dancing ballet underwater like "The Little Mermaid." There are four shows daily (10:30, 12:30, 14:30, 16:30). It's recommended to secure a "middle seat" early to capture photos of "mermaids + fish schools." 7. Fairy Tale World: The "fairy tale dream" of a Nordic town Highlight: An indoor fairy tale park themed on a "Nordic town," featuring a carousel (magical when lit up), bumper cars (suitable for younger kids), Dream Voyage (moderately thrilling, for older kids), and a 4D cinema (showing "underwater movies"). Recommended to ride the "carousel" (which looks like a "castle in a fairy tale" when lit at night) or try "Dream Voyage" (to experience the feeling of flying). 4. Accommodation Guide: Stay in the "ocean fairy tale" for a more relaxed trip If you want a hassle-free experience, the ocean hotel inside the park is the "best choice"—not only is it "next to the aquarium," but it also offers "unlimited park entry," perfect for "families with kids" (no need to pack and unpack daily). 1. Ocean Hotel: Live inside the "ocean fairy tale" Location: Right next to the aquarium (5-minute walk), with "Fairy Tale World" right outside the door. Room types: Forest Treehouse: Like "living in a tree," with "tree hole" designs (great for kids to climb), rooms furnished with "wooden furniture" and "rattan sofas," very natural feeling; Castle Knight: Medieval style (with "knight armor" and "shields"), perfect for "adventure-loving kids"; Dream Ocean: Ocean-themed (with "aquariums" and "shell decorations"), rooms have "ocean murals," like "living under the sea"; Family Room: With "bunk beds" (suitable for families with two kids), "children's bathrobes," and "children's slippers" (attention to detail). Recommended packages: "Aquarium + Fairy Tale World" package: Includes tickets for "2 adults and 1 child" (unlimited entry for two days) + "breakfast" (Chinese + Western, featuring Xuzhou specialties like "soup with food radicals" and "rolled baked bread"), priced around 800 yuan/night (great value); "Treehouse Family Room" package: Includes tickets for "2 adults and 1 child" + "treehouse experience" (kids can "climb trees" and "play in tree holes"), priced around 900 yuan/night. 5. Food Recommendations: From the "Ocean Restaurant" to local specialties, try them all Xuzhou Oulebao's food includes creative "ocean-themed" dishes and local specialties like "Xuzhou claypot chicken," suitable for "families with kids" (with "children's meals"). 1. On-site dining: Convenient and quick, perfect for when you're tired from playing Underwater Restaurant: Ocean-themed decor (like "aquariums" and "shell decorations"), specializing in "seafood pasta" and "fish and chips" (kid-friendly), priced around 50 yuan/serving; Rainforest Restaurant: Next to Amazon Exploration, serving "Chinese fast food" (like rice bowls and dumplings), priced around 30 yuan/serving; Hidden supply point: The rest area near the Jellyfish Pavilion has a "hot water dispenser" (good for instant noodles) and "vending machines" (selling "mineral water" and "snacks"). It's recommended to bring your own "bread" and "fruit" to save money. 6. Practical Tips: Pitfall avoidance guide for a smoother visit 1. Dressing advice Clothes: Wear "light-colored clothes" (like white or light blue) for better photos (the park's main color is blue, so light colors "highlight people"); Shoes: Wear "non-slip sports shoes" (the park is "slippery," especially in the "underwater tunnel"); Others: Bring a "hat" (for sun protection), "sunglasses" (to block strong light), and a "power bank" (few charging ports in the park). 2. Essentials to bring Must-haves: ID card (for ticket discounts), power bank (cold weather drains battery quickly), thermos (for hot ginger tea to keep warm), snacks (cookies, chocolate for hungry kids), toys (like a "bubble machine" for kids to play with in the park); 3. Notes Safety first: The park is "slippery" (especially the "underwater tunnel"), wear "non-slip shoes"; parents must "watch their children" carefully to avoid getting lost; Respect animals: Do not "tap on the glass" (it scares the animals), do not "feed your own food" (animals have "special feed"); Avoid peak times: Weekends are crowded (especially during "show times"), it's recommended to visit on "weekdays" (fewer people, more fun). 7. Summary: Xuzhou Oulebao, worth visiting again! The charm of Xuzhou Oulebao lies in the "details"—from the healing "whale close-up," to the dreamy "underwater tunnel," and the carousel in the "fairy tale world." If you want to "take your kids to see the ocean" and "have a romantic check-in with your loved one," Xuzhou Oulebao is definitely the "best choice"—after all, parks that blend "ocean" and "fairy tale" so well are truly rare!

Hello there! Suining in March feels like it was tailor-made for girls like me who love to play and eat! 🌿 Here, you can get up close with animals at the wildlife park, visit a zen-inspired temple full of design, and best of all, the costs are low and the crowds aren’t too big, making it super comfortable to explore! I just had a blast there for three days last week, so I’m excited to share this fresh guide with you all～ 🚶‍♀️【3-Day Roaming Guide (Random but Exciting)】 Day 1: Date with Cute Animals Morning: Head straight to Jiuding Mountain Wildlife Park! Buying tickets in advance on Trip.com might get you a discount~ Hop on the trendy little train that crosses the “African savannah,” where giraffes will stick their heads in to say hi. Spend 20 yuan on some leaves to feed them and you can take a hundred selfies! Don’t forget to check out the Forest Theater, where the little animals perform smart and adorable shows. Noon: Find a farmhouse restaurant near the park and be sure to try “Suining Old Tofu.” The bean aroma is so rich, and with the special spicy sauce, I could eat two bowls of rice! Evening: Stay in the city center. I chose Tianlai Hotel (Suining Balu Road branch), which had high ratings and clean reviews on Trip.com. The room was small but cozy, and the location was perfect—right by a snack street! After dropping off my luggage, I went straight to street food hunting. I recommend “Wang Ma Fried Skewers,” especially the fried rice cakes, crispy outside and chewy inside, brushed with sweet and spicy sauce—absolutely amazing! Day 2: Seeking Peace and Enjoying Scenery Morning: Visit Shuiyue Zen Temple, which is free! ⛩️ The architecture is so unique, with clean lines and beautiful light and shadow—totally different from any temple I’ve been to before. The mirrored pond and hollowed-out Buddha wall make every photo a masterpiece. I suggest wearing a plain-colored dress for better shots. The temple is usually open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Noon: Eat nearby and have a warm bowl of “Suining Mutton Soup.” The broth is milky white, the mutton tender with no gamey taste, paired with freshly baked sesame flatbread—so comforting and warming. Afternoon: Take a leisurely walk at Baitang River Wetland Park, which is also free! The reeds aren’t fully green yet this season, giving a kind of desolate beauty. You can rent a bike to ride around or just relax by the lake—very pleasant. Evening: Keep exploring food and discover a hidden gem called “Zhang’s Braised Pork.” The pork is stewed until tender and flavorful, fatty but not greasy. Mix the sauce with rice and it’s soul-stirring deliciousness! Day 3: Cultural Exploration and Farewell Morning: Visit the Suining Children’s Painting Center to see imaginative artworks by kids that brighten your mood. Then stroll through the Suining Museum to learn about the local history. Noon: Have an authentic “Suining Di Guo Chicken” meal. The chicken is tender, but the soul is the ring of dough cakes stuck to the pot’s edge—half soaked in broth, half roasted crispy. Finger-licking good! Afternoon: Buy some local specialties, like vacuum-packed “Lanshan Roast Chicken,” then you can happily prepare for your trip back. 🚌【Transportation Tips】 Taxis in Suining city are very cheap, and the starting fare covers many places. For farther spots like the wildlife park, you can take the bus—check real-time routes on map apps, very convenient. A taxi from the high-speed rail station to downtown costs about 20 yuan. When booking hotels on Trip.com, also pay attention to the location and transportation convenience. 😋【Food Radar Beeping】 Suining Tofu: A must-try! Smooth texture, strong bean aroma, delicious whether boiled with sauce or cooked in dishes. Di Guo Chicken: timeless classic! The chicken is flavorful, and the dough cakes soak up the broth perfectly—such a satisfying combo of carbs and protein, you know what I mean! Mutton Soup: Fresh broth and tender meat, especially great on slightly chilly days to warm you from the stomach to the heart. 💰【How Much Did I Spend in 3 Days?】 About 300 yuan for two nights’ accommodation, 180 yuan mainly for the wildlife park tickets, around 400 yuan for food (ate super well!), and about 100 yuan for miscellaneous transport. All in all, less than 1000 yuan. The cost-performance ratio is amazing! Didn’t spend much but had a fulfilling trip and satisfying meals. The food expenses especially made me feel every penny was worth it—no feeling of being ripped off like at tourist traps, more like a local friend taking you on a food tour. 💣【Avoidance Tips】 Dress modestly when visiting Shuiyue Zen Temple to show respect. Some snack streets can be noisy; if you mind, consider takeout to eat at the hotel. If you have high standards for accommodation, check real reviews with photos on Trip.com before booking. Personal ramble: This trip was really relaxing. Suining’s pace is slow, and people are friendly. The biggest surprise was the food—I was so happy every meal. Plus, there weren’t many tourists, so no fighting for photo spots, and the experience was top-notch! If you like this kind of off-the-beaten-path, delicious, and easy-going travel, Suining is definitely worth considering! That’s all from me! Have you been to Suining? Or do you have other similar hidden gem towns to recommend? Waiting for you to chat in the comments! 👇💬

We kicked off our adventure as a group of 6, flying Loong Air from Shenzhen to Harbin! 🧳✨ Our flight left Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport (T3, Guangdong Province, China; opening hours: 24/7) at 10:35 and landed in Harbin Taiping International Airport (Heilongjiang, China; opening hours: 24/7) right on time at 16:15. Big shoutout to Loong Air for keeping it punctual! 🙌 There was a 45-minute pit stop in Xuzhou Huai’an Lianshui Airport, letting us hop out for a quick bathroom break—total lifesaver for stretching and freshening up. 💦 Booking our tickets on Trip.com was super easy—seriously, why complicate things? Check-in for foreigners was only possible at the airport counter (manual vibes!), while locals could use a WeChat mini programme. Hot tip: get to the airport early to avoid any lines and stress. We got a pretty decent baggage allowance—7 kg for carry-on and 20 kg checked luggage. Packing those winter outfits? No sweat! 😎 Loong Air served up some snacks, but note: they weren’t halal. So if you need special dietary munchies, pack your own treats! 🍫✨ Don’t expect streaming or charging ports because—heads up—this flight keeps things basic. Download your dramas/podcasts before boarding, or just lean back and snooze! The seats were, well, functional and basic. If you’re tall, prepare for some squishy legroom—so find your comfy position early! Staff only spoke Chinese, so having a translation app ready is a smart move. There was a security guard on board for extra safety, which was announced. For social media fans: filming isn’t allowed on Loong Air, so your TikTok story will have to wait till landing! 😅 All in all, Loong Air totally did the job for our group trip. No frills, but smooth and reliable for short haul flights—especially if you set your expectations right. Would we fly again? Yup, for sure! 🚀 #LoongAir #ChinaFlights #BudgetAirline #TripMoments #TravelReview #Shenzhen #Harbin

Xuzhou Jiuding Mountain Pitfall Avoidance Guide🔥 Went Crazy at the 3,400-Acre Zoo! Car Tour + Walking + Boat Tour Fully Unlocked Who gets it, family! Xuzhou Jiuding Mountain Wildlife Park literally brings "Zootopia" to life 🐒 A huge 3,400-acre park with three routes—car, walking, and boat—offering three kinds of fun. Tested personally with no pitfalls, quickly save this guide! 🚗【Car Tour Area: Self-Driving Fans Rejoice! Animals Actively Come Close】 Important! Car tickets and admission tickets are sold separately! 1 car + 2 people = 1 car ticket + 2 admission tickets, children under 1.2 meters are free (only family cars with less than 10 seats allowed) 🚙 Grab a map at the entrance; there are 7 stops where you can get off to feed animals and use restrooms. Doors must remain closed during the ride! Ostriches are the "king of bumping" 🐦 They’ll stick their heads right into the car window to snatch carrots, so scared little ones should just crack the window a bit; zebras are confirmed rearview mirror killers, so be sure to fold them in! The alpaca area is the ultimate healing spot—10 yuan for a portion of carrots, super soft and cuddly, kids scream with joy 👏 In the predator zone, you can buy live chickens to feed (50 yuan each), watch Siberian tigers frolic in the snow, and brown bears stand up to greet you, adrenaline rush guaranteed! 🦶【Walking Area: Shows + Cute Pets Double the Fun】 After the car tour, park your car and walk through the shops to the walking area (main park! Key point). First thing at the entrance: check the show schedule ⏰ The 1 PM International Circus is a must-see! 50 minutes of nonstop excitement with aerialists, Russian equestrian acts, and the death wheel. The lighting and stage effects rival a concert. Sections D/E and by the pool are prime spots, and the clown’s interaction comes right up close! Renting an electric scooter is highly recommended! 200 yuan unlimited time, otherwise, walking 1,200 acres will wear you out 🤯 Don’t miss Madagascar Island, where ring-tailed lemurs jump on you for jujubes, so gentle it’s unbelievable; capybaras are the true chill stars, happily munching on romaine lettuce, not upset if you don’t feed them, their adorable eyes are a total heart-melter 💘 Red pandas will come over for cuddles, showing their black bellies for petting—who wouldn’t be smitten! 🚤【Boat Tour Area: Immersive Journey Through the Misty Forest】 50 yuan per person for the boat tour is totally worth it! Wear your life jacket and sit in the front row, plus get a free basket of cabbage for feeding~ A flock of black swans follows the boat, flamingos stand guard on both banks, and the photo ops in the time tunnel are amazing 📸 Along the way, you can feed alpacas, large antelopes, and super cute little ducklings that follow the boat, making the experience unforgettable! 🎒【Must-Have Items for Lazy Visitors & Pitfall Avoidance Tips】 ✅ Bring your own carrots (cut into strips), romaine lettuce, and apple chunks. The park’s prices are high and portions small; carrots are the "hard currency" loved by most animals. ✅ Sunscreen clothing + sun hat + power bank are essential. The park is huge, so stay hydrated and bring your own snacks—they’re more cost-effective than the pricey and average restaurant food. ✅ Only feed the argali sheep in the car tour area! Their hooves are sharp and can scratch the car; don’t feed animals randomly in the walking area, follow the keepers’ instructions. ✅ Watch the sunset from the Ferris wheel in the evening; there’s a cute animal parade at 7 PM, and a light show plus starry magical performance at 8:45 PM. Have a blast all day long! Overall experience is legendary! Animal interactions are maximized, shows are top-notch, and each of the three routes has its own charm. Perfect for family outings or couples’ dates. Xuzhou locals, hit it up this weekend—it’s absolutely worth the ticket price!

Last weekend, I went to Jiuding Mountain Zoo with my family and discovered a little secret to enjoy the whole day for just 89 yuan! I bought the tickets online in advance, and it was super convenient to just scan the code at the entrance. I recommend everyone book at least one day ahead. The animals are most energetic in the morning. In the predator area, there’s a special star—the African lion "Xu Kějī" is so cute. Don’t be fooled by it being a predator; its short little legs running around are super adorable. It looks fierce but is actually quite silly. I took tons of videos holding my phone. You can also see animals up close in the walking area, which is perfect for bringing kids. Remember to wear comfortable shoes because the park is bigger than you might expect. For this price, you can enjoy the whole day. It’s worth it for photos and taking the kids out. Catch the event before it ends on December 21. Tips: Be sure to buy tickets online in advance. You won’t get this price if you buy on-site.

Though small, this place has a unique tranquility, especially the Vienna Hotel opposite the bus station, which made me feel right at home.🌟 🚗 A Warm Haven on Business Trips 🏠 Finding a comfortable hotel during business trips is like discovering a temporary home. The Vienna Hotel's exterior is simple yet elegant, and stepping into the lobby instantly filled me with warmth. The front desk staff were all smiles, and the check-in process was surprisingly quick.😊 🛌 A Cozy Retreat in the Bedroom 🛌 The room was tastefully decorated, with soft and comfortable bedding that made me want to drift off to sleep the moment I lay down. The bed, in particular, felt like resting on a cloud—a rare luxury for someone who travels frequently.💤 ⏳ Leisurely Moments in the Lobby Café ☕ Ordering a latte and sitting quietly by the window in the lobby café, watching the slow flow of people outside, time seemed to slow down. The coffee here was rich in flavor, and even the cup designs had a unique charm, offering a moment of peace amidst the busyness.🍃 🍳 A Delicious Breakfast to Start the Day 🍳 The hotel's buffet breakfast offered a wide variety, from Western-style bread and bacon to Chinese porridge and side dishes, catering to different tastes. The freshly made omelet, golden and tempting, was especially appetizing. Even the kids raved about the breakfast—seems like bringing the family along next time would be a great idea!👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Though this trip was brief, the Vienna Hotel left a deep impression on me. Both the comfort and service quality were satisfying. If I ever return to Suining, I’ll definitely choose to stay here again.🌈

Shiwu Temple is not a tourist attraction, nor is it famous. Very few people come here. Because of the small number of people, it has a quiet and elegant feeling, and a sense of not caring about worldly affairs and not competing with the world. According to the temple records, it was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, with a history of more than a thousand years. A wandering monk found two natural stone houses and built this temple! There are currently four or five monks practicing in this temple, and their practice is quite good. If you want to seek immortality and have your doubts answered, you can report here according to the following landmarks... Ishiya Temple

Located in Xuzhou Suining. Attending an old friend's engagement party We stayed at the Yaduo Hotel in the county. The room was very big, but the funny thing was that the main entrance was a seafood restaurant. Almost every friend who first arrived went to the wrong place, hahaha. We were screaming at the grilled lamb kebabs that cost 35 yuan per kilogram. #relax #Xuzhou food #grilled skewers

I've been to Xuzhou Jiuding Mountain and it was great!! Key points: 1 For the vegetables, besides carrots and lettuce, bring more apples! (Brown bears, black bears, and raccoons all eat them and the interaction is very strong) Bananas (elephants eat bananas and also dragon fruit) Bread (peacocks and some other small animals eat it) If possible, prepare some small fish for a kind of bird in the bird park 2 For children feeding small animals, you can prepare a small stick to insert in the food so it won't scare the children and also gives them a sense of achievement. Adults can bring some disposable gloves 3 The weather has been good recently and there are especially many students going on spring outings. To see the big circus, you must queue up in advance. Those with strollers should place them at the entrance before queuing. The best viewing position is right behind the red sofa 4 The money we spent inside: 30 yuan for a photo with a sea lion at the Animal Kingdom Theater, 20 yuan per person for a fluorescent sword at the big circus Do good sun protection and you can prepare watermelon to eat at noon, don't mention how refreshing it is. If you can go early, definitely go early ps: A big circus show is really worth the ticket price, the program is compact and the performers are professional Next time there's an event, I'll bring the kids again Complaint... Except for the carnivorous animals and enclosed venues, all the animals were fed carrots, there are carrots and greens everywhere

A good value for money hotel, a few hundred dollars to have a room of about 100 square meters, also have a bathtub, also at the same time than many hotel bathtubs much cleaner, curtains electric, toilet smart, a sit on is very warm, also deliver meal rolls, the restaurant is on the right side of the hotel door, I heard it was the same boss, unfortunately the service attitude is very average, called the front desk attitude is not very good, and did not listen to what others said, completely unwilling to serve the same, later directly did not answer, toilet no paper used up, and actually will suddenly someone kept pressing the door Ring, as soon as I opened the door the person had walked away, completely no explanation at all, finally the front desk said that the waiter intended to take other guests to visit my room at the time, the people around me to open the door also heard that people had been saying no, the waiter actually returned one He said nothing, went in to see, and then kept pressing the doorbell and knocking on the door or something, very disgraceful, and did not ask the people who were already living inside, and then when the door opened, he did not explain a word directly took other guests away, very very disgraceful service #Geffe Hotel
