🍵 The scenic areas are large, carry food and water. Recommend sugar-free tea Zhi Zhi Oolong, tasting tea in the wilderness, the atmosphere is full!
Some scenic areas are very large, remember to carry some food and drinks with you. Before setting off, I specifically went to the convenience store to buy two bottles of sugar-free tea Zhi Zhi Oolong🍵, tasting tea in the wilderness of nature, the faint fragrance of gardenia immerses one completely🌸. Moreover, this tea can also be used as a prop, to take some atmospheric photos, the packaging is really photogenic! From now on, it will be my travel companion! 🎉
This scenic spot is very clean, the air is good, the environment is good, it is worth a visit, it is great, I will come to play next time, you can take the cable car, you can see different scenery, it is rare to have a relaxing experience.
Is there a more beautiful place? Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters are really the same. The scenic spot can take a sightseeing bus for 10 yuan per person, children under 140 are free, and more than 140 are also 10 yuan. Tickets 70 Ctrip buys one day in advance. Remember to bring your ID card directly into the scenic spot, otherwise you have to go to the visitor center to report your ID card number to change tickets!
I went during May 1st. I especially recommend friends who like bamboo forests, but the cable car is currently upgraded. At present, you need to climb up to the top of the mountain, but it is absolutely value-for-money, because the scenery along the way is particularly beautiful. The air is good, and the bamboo sea is particularly spectacular. After the rain, the bamboo forest, negative oxygen ions can go to negative numbers ~
In my impression, bamboo is an indomitable and tenacious symbol, but today I see the bamboo sea blue waves, they are green and dripping, swaying in the breeze, to people to present natural poetry. The roots of bamboo are deeply rooted in the mountains and stones, and the green bamboo stretches to the blue sky. Its posture is soft, but the temperament and spirit are strong. The green bamboo leaves glow like emerald in the sun, interpreting the fullness and vitality of life. I lament, why after such a cold winter, they so vibrant? In the wind, frost and rain, tenacious growth, indomitable? Maybe this is the charm of bamboo!
The scenic spot is very good, clean and the scenery is good! At present, the ropeway is being repaired. If you go up the mountain, you can only rely on your legs.
Yixing's favorite place to go, the depths of the bamboo forest are really like the bottom of the sea, the bamboo forest is swaying like the waves rolling, the air is fresh and warm, you have to breathe big mouths, walk to the bottom of the sea for about an hour, not tired, come back to take the battery car. I went on the third day of the year, there were plum blossoms, and the swans were also very lively. There is also a dance performance by Miss Hanfu in the children's playground area. The slide is in the shape of a teapot, which is very cute! Some slides and swings are a bit childish for children, just right for adults! The mascots are super cute, especially the tea master and Aunt Piao hahaha. There is a umami group selling opposite the small train, 5 yuan a small bamboo raft, obviously there are some at home, or bought for Zaizai to eat, did what foreigners should do haha.
