[Foreword]

Yun Bao has been traveling with us since he was three months old. He has seen the sea in Sanya, heard the spring rain of Xitang, tasted Bangkok's food, and smelled the flowers of Xinjiang. She accompanied us to so many places, but she always felt a little far away from traveling with her parents, because at that time, she was ignorant and ignorant about everything about the journey and always lacked a sense of participation, as if she were traveling with us.

When the pendulum of age reached two years old, when she had learned many skills, and when she had already felt the joy and joy brought by the journey, we planned another journey, a real parent-child trip, and this time the destination is Xiaoshan, a place only across the Qiantang River from our usual life.

[Ancient Town of Heshang, feel the rural memories of Xiaoshan]

Heshang Ancient Town, this is the first stop of our journey, coinciding with the opening ceremony of the 2nd Xiaoshan Rural Cultural Tourism Festival. Compared with other opening ceremonies, the opening ceremony of this Rural Culture and Tourism Festival was much more down-to-earth. The villagers 'enthusiastic dance steps, time-sensitive costumes, and memory bamboo chairs made me, who was born and raised in the countryside. People feel friendly. Such an opening ceremony is both down-to-earth and refreshing, and it also conforms to the theme of "Rural Cultural Tourism" of the opening ceremony.

Under the leadership of the villagers performing at the opening ceremony, we walked into Xiaoshan's unique rural memories. At the opening ceremony, we not only watched the rural dance, but also tasted Xiaoshan's specialty cuisine. Moreover, at the opening ceremony, ten "Xiaoshan Rural Cultural Tourism Boutique Routes" were also released on site, covering "A Journey to Remembering the Original Heart","Journey to the Ancient Village and New Beauty","Educational and Health Tour", etc., integrating intangible cultural heritage, red tourism, folk culture, health care, leisure and tourism to make tourism more diversified.

The opening ceremony of this Rural Tourism and Culture Festival gave me more than that. The most refreshing thing about this opening ceremony was that it was a marching opening ceremony. Although it was not for many years, I have watched it in many scenic spots, but this is the first time I have seen it. Following the host's footsteps and explanations, and holding Yunbao, we walked into Heshang Ancient Town together.

Heshang Ancient Town is located in the south of Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, at the junction of Xiaoshan, Zhuji and Fuyang. It has been forming a market since the Tang Dynasty. A thousand-year-old market and a thousand-year-old town. Walking through the ancient town on the river, you can see the marks of history everywhere. On the blue stone road that has been washed countless times by ups and downs, at the corner of the street, a building with a sense of age attracted our attention. This is a post office from the last century. At that time, it was also called post and telecommunications. The door frame has long been dilapidated., but it seems particularly heavy.

Heshang Town has lush mountains, beautiful scenery and beautiful ecological environment. Small towns have green bricks and gray tiles, wooden gate doors, ancient houses and shops, and mottled window lattices, all of which depict the ancient and present prosperity of Heshang Ancient Town. It's hard to know what kind of surprise awaits you on the next street corner. Maybe it's an old teahouse or an ancient building.

April is the most beautiful day in the world, and the spring light on April is the most beautiful and moving in Xiaoshan's countryside. Walking into Heshang Old Street, you can feel the strong Xiaoshan customs, the characteristic cakes, the sugar made on site by the old master, and the post office of the last century. Feel the spring spirit of the beautiful Xiaoshan while you are traveling!

[In Monas Manor, anyone can be a little princess]

Monas Manor, this is a popular online celebrity check-in spot recently. There is the Monas Knight Castle from the fairy tale, and there is also a white horse. When the two are combined, it is the ultimate romance. So I thought of taking Yun Bao to see how the castle in the animation became a reality and show her how to ride a white horse in one go.

When you come to Monas Manor, the first thing you see is the palace-like knight castle. Sculptures, gardens, horse farms, lawns, swimming pools, and reservoirs come into view. Birds sometimes fly leisurely over the mountains and forests. The wind in the forest blows the delicate hydrangea flowers in the garden, splashed streams, and clear springs. The two favorite women in front of me are riding on white horses, and they together form a beautiful picture.

There are lush flowers and plants everywhere, cats, dogs, birds and even horses and other animals everywhere; outdoor swimming pools, fountain estates, bench railings, horse training grounds, ruins and other European buildings... Two children of the same age are the most active and vibrant in the manor. Picture, they have their own happy world, chasing, playing, and frolicking on this green grassland far away from the dust. Looking at her smiling face, I feel extremely satisfied.

[Baby Camp, experience the fun travel of brothers and sisters]

Living in the city, more and more parents want to take their children into nature and have a fun parent-child trip. Perhaps this is the most vivid manifestation of "nature is the best teacher". As someone who grew up in the countryside, I can increasingly feel the happiness in nature that today's children lack, and it is also the most precious happy asset in my childhood. When I had Yunbao, I had been thinking about how to let her experience the fun of my childhood. Baby Nature Camp gave me the answer.

Baobei Camp, located in Heshang Town, Xiaoshan, has a vast camp at the foot of a mountain. It is also the natural place closest to the city in Hangzhou. When I came to Baby Camp, I was refreshed by the rich facilities here, including a home party hall, library, ATV track, drama classroom, infirmary, one-meter vegetable garden, art classroom, pottery workshop, carpentry workshop, stage theater, etc., and here There is also a family-style living environment.

Although she is not yet old, Yun Bao is already very interested in these things. I can imagine that when she comes here when she is older, she will have a very pleasant holiday trip. In Baby Camp, Baby will grow into a big child and become a sensible child who has skills, knows how to share, and learns to get along with others.

[Haonan Four Seasons Orchard brings Yunbao to nature]

If one of Yun Bao's favorite travel experiences, in addition to tasting delicious food, then it must be picking. Of course, during the picking process, he would also uncontrollably taste delicious food. From Yun Bao's birth to the present, taking her to pick strawberries in the surrounding areas every spring is a must-have travel item for our family. Yun Bao has always loved this experience very much, so this parent-child trip picking has become a must-have project.

On a sunny April day, he took Yun Bao to check in the Haonan Four Seasons Orchard, a must-see attraction for parent-child tours in Xiaoshan. This is a large-scale park with parent-child fun. The park has a farming experience area, a cute pet park, and a variety of recreational facilities such as fruit picking areas, tropical fruit constant temperature greenhouses, and starry sky tents. When you step into the park, the first thing you see is a large vegetable garden. Here, you can take your children to experience the fun of growing vegetables for yourself, and you can also truly feel that porridge and rice are hard-won.

Continuing along the colorful and beautiful pedestrian path, you will arrive at the cute pet area that is very popular among children. In the cute pet park, there are cute ponies, flying white pigeons, stupid little fragrant pigs, and naughty alpacas., all make Yun Bao extremely curious about these animals that he cannot come into contact with on weekdays.

I still remember that every time Yun Bao saw a bird flying through the window, he would point excitedly and say "bird" to us. When a flock of white doves circled around us, the excited children could no longer control their feet and trotted after her. Looking at the white dove in front of him, no longer like a bird flying outside the window, Yun Bao was extremely happy. Here, there are also many children's play designs, such as children's slides and children's trampolines. When children are playing, parents can also steal a half-day vacation and go to the slow-life tea bar nearby to drink tea.

Haonan Four Seasons Orchard is not only close to nature, but can also inhabit nature. Located at the innermost part of the park is the very distinctive starry sky tent here. The tent is in the shape of a light bulb and is almost entirely transparent. When night falls, you can lie in bed from the tent and admire the beautiful starry sky, and you can also share with Yun Bao some stories related to stars that you heard when you were a child. Although it is transparent, you don't have to worry about privacy because there are curtains around the room that can be drawn. The large lawn in front of the tent is also a good place to share family and child time.

Of course, when you come to Haonan Four Seasons Orchard, the most important thing you can't miss is the fruit picking here. In order to meet the four-season picking, there are planting areas for fruits and vegetables in different seasons, such as mulberry planting areas, peach planting areas, and cherry planting areas., blueberry planting areas, grape planting areas, and dragon fruit planting areas.

In April, in the Four Seasons Fruit Picking Area, Yun Bao could pick rubies by standing there. They were sour and sweet and extremely delicious. After a while, the mulberries would soon turn red.

[Visit Zhejiang Modern Ceramic Art Museum and experience pottery making]

"Half of a history of ceramics lies in Zhejiang." In Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, the kiln fires on the banks of Hunan Lake have been passed down to this day. The only one in Zhejiang Province with the theme of modern ceramic art is located next. It is called Zhejiang Province Modern Ceramic Art Museum. It is also a good destination for parent-child tours.

I have been to Xianghu many times, but I never knew that there was such a niche museum hidden next to Xianghu. This was the first time I heard of it when I was planning this parent-child trip. Follow the navigation to the museum, but the car can only be parked in the parking lot across the road. Walking along the lake, the hydrangea flowers beside the Xianghu Lake are scattered all over the ground. This is another kind of spring. Crossing an ancient bridge, you will arrive at this modern ceramic art museum.

The museum is located on Meishan Island in Xianghu Lake. The island is green with green mountains and water, lush vegetation, birds and flowers. It is sparkling on all sides. The kiln shadow and the bridge shadow complement each other, creating a unique artistic environment. The chimneys of the original brick kiln factory were safely protected, adding a historical heritage to the museum. This museum has many unique designs, such as the creative transformation of the ancient brick kiln into an exhibition hall, or the unique cultural and creative products displayed in the museum.

The museum has an area of about 1400 square meters and is divided into 5 ceramic exhibition halls. Among them, Exhibition halls 1, 2 and 4 are collection exhibition halls, mainly collecting ceramic painting works by Chinese masters of arts and crafts, academic professors, and senior arts and crafts; Exhibition halls 3 and 5 are personal exhibition halls of contracted artists, displaying ceramic art works with unique personal style and charm.

Here, you can not only experience and visit the distinctive arc-shaped cave caves with Yun Bao, but also experience making ceramics with your own hands under the guidance of teachers. You can complete the clay drawing in a proper manner, which not only enhances your hands-on ability, but also allows you to feel more deeply. The unique charm of ceramics.

[Changqiao Polar Ocean Park, a must-visit stop for parent-child tours in Hangzhou]

In Xiaoshan, Hangzhou, there is such a good place for parent-child travel. Here, you can see polar animals, large marine mammals, marine life and terrestrial life almost at once. This is Changqiao Polar Ocean Park.

Having lived in Hangzhou for a long time, I have always heard of Changqiao Polar Ocean Park, but I only knew that it was a marine park suitable for parent-child tours. That's all. This parent-child tour took Yun Bao to make this stop our last stop. I hope she can have a good time here.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot, Yun Bao was already attracted by the many elements here and couldn't walk, such as lifelike whale sculptures, lovely penguin portraits, and beautiful mermaid sculptures. Hangzhou Changqiao Polar Ocean Park has a total of 19 exhibition venues, 5 performance theaters, and 5 themed restaurants. It houses hundreds of polar animals and marine mammals such as penguins, polar bears, beluga whales, dolphins, walruses, manatees, and pilot whales. Animals, as well as thousands of aquatic organisms and land animals such as sharks, jellyfish, corals, and brown bears. It is a new marine park that integrates polar animals, marine fish displays, and polar experience.

The Jellyfish Hall was our first stop. Here, we not only saw jellyfish of different shapes, but they floated freely in the water. Their beautiful figures attracted us; here, we can also see the jellyfish from small eggs to all forms when they grew up. Yun Bao has always lamented with us that the jellyfish looked like this when he was a child. This sentence is the greatest significance of the journey, which adds knowledge that is not available in textbooks.

Many people always have an endless obsession with the seabed, so they sneak into the sea time and time again to explore the world under the sea. What is on the bottom of the sea? Fish schools, corals, the blue... All this is in Changqiao Polar Ocean Park. Here, we can not only see a variety of rare fish, such as giant bone tongue fish, crocodile sparrow eel, etc., but also see the legendary "mermaid", also known as the manatee. Under the introduction of the tour guide, we finally understood why the manatee is a mermaid.

The entire Polar Ocean Park is not only located next to the lake, but also built next to the mountains. Therefore, it is common to go up and down the stairs during the tour. At the same time, everyone must take a map when entering the park. This will make the entire tour process smoother. In addition to polar marine animals, there are also some animals common in zoos, such as wolves, guinea pigs, etc.

The Beluga Whale Sea is one of Changqiao's most distinctive attractions. It is a building of more than 8000 square meters in which dozens of beluga whales live. There are beluga submarine tunnels and beluga restaurants, as well as a large beluga population. Being in this venue that imitates ecological landscape, you can not only have close contact with beluga whales on the water, but also enjoy the entire group of beluga whales swimming overhead through underwater tunnels. The venue is equipped with two performance theaters that can accommodate more than 2,000 people. In the theaters, you can enjoy the beautiful dance posture and superb performance skills of the whale whale.

Rainforest Dolphin Bay, where there is a whale bay displaying pilot whales and dolphins; the Great Barrier Reef displaying corals and coral reef fish; deep-sea wonders displaying large marine fish such as large sharks, giant turtles, and devil rays, as well as seabirds. The mysterious Amazon rainforest of freshwater creatures.

Of course, the most important thing to miss here is the performance at the Dolphin Theater. Dolphins have always been praised as the most docile animals in the ocean, so they are also the easiest to cultivate relationships with breeders.

Here, each dolphin has its own exclusive coach. The coach is not only their breeder, but also their companions, performing together. Looking at the dolphins who knew so many skills, Yun Bao couldn't believe his eyes.

What is the first impression in your mind about Ocean Park? With all kinds of marine life, or wonderful performances, Hangzhou Changqiao Base Ocean Park gives me the feeling of subversion and fantasy. Come to Changqiao to embark on a magical adventure and explore the mysteries of the depths of the ocean.

A little tired, we looked at Yunbao, who was still energetic after playing all day, and couldn't help but sigh that fun is indeed the best teacher. Penguin Island is our last stop in the Changqiao Animal Area. Penguin Island is specially designed for polar penguins. The exhibition venue built with a display area of about 3000 square meters is divided into multiple levels of underwater, underwater and above water display spaces. Arriving at Penguin Island, I happened to meet the keepers who were feeding penguins. Yun Bao learned their cute walking posture and shook them.

Why is Penguin Island our last stop in the Changqiao Animal Area? Because there is not only a traditional animal play and viewing area in Changqiao, but also a small children's playground. The park also has a fun name-Little Turtle Paradise. Arriving at the park, the buildings here became the same as in the cartoons, with strange shapes and colorful shapes. This was why Yun Bao began to play around the moment she entered the park.

Little Turtle Paradise is an interactive and experiential parent-child theme park with the theme of ocean fairy tales. Although the area is not too large, the amusement facilities here are still very complete, including "Fun House","Children's Karting Racing","Little Architect","Angry Bear",

"Pirate Ship","Frog Jumping on All Faces","Crazy Conch"...

Yun Bao's favorite is the carousel, and there is also an area on this carousel that can be rotated twice. I am accelerating constantly and looking at Yun Bao, who is smiling very happily. I am already spinning at the moment, but she is happy.

[Inhabits among nature-Seabirds World]

The persistence in my heart, waiting calmly. I look forward to a happy existence. Thousands of misses and thousands of turns back are just looking for a warm home for my heart...

There are still many options for accommodation in Xiaoshan, especially since there are many unique B & Bs here. This time, we also learned some during the production of the travel guide, which really made me feel impressed.
For our stay this time, we chose the Kaiyuan Seabird World, which inhabits among nature.

Bamboo sea, courtyard houses, and ancient ginkgo are the most prominent features here. Kaiyuan Yiju·Seabird World is located in Xiamen Village, Heshang Town, Xiaoshan, centered on a 150-year-old house. The old Jiangnan house with white walls and black tiles is hidden in a green bamboo forest. Surrounded by green mountains and green bamboos, the streams are gurgling in front of the door, the air is fresh, and the water quality is clear. Nature has given seabirds a unique original ecological environment, breathing high oxygen anions brought by vegetation, and getting close to nature at zero distance.

Seabird World Boutique B & B has a total of 12 family duplex suites, all with separate living rooms and terraces. When every window is opened, you can see the mountains and rivers and enjoy the beautiful scenery. For us traveling with parent-child, there is also a very cute parent-child theme room. The baby room has been carefully decorated, with cute quilt covers, floor mats with the same theme, and a baby bed with stairs. Yun Bao immediately climbed into bed when he discovered this room.

Xiaoshan, a place that gives us too many happy parent-child moments, I look forward to what kind of journey stories we will have when Yunbao grows up quickly.
