Many people say that in the adult world, everyone is pushing you to grow up
But there is always a place that is guarding your childlike innocence
The Shaoxing Dongfang Landscape Park that I went to with Mr. Xu a while ago is such a place.
Shaoxing Dongfang Landscape Park is located in the Jianhu Keyan Tourist Resort. It is a provincial-level key tourism investment project and a large-scale comprehensive project that integrates leisure tourism, catering, and shopping. It can be said to be a very large and strong amusement park in the Jiangsu Zhejiang Shanghai area.
Our main experience this time is the second phase of Dongfang Shanshui Park, which includes many projects such as Tianmu Street, Magic Garden, Crystal Castle, Exotic Bay, Happy Harbor, and so on. The amusement park is very large. My suggestion is to play for about 2 days. You can stay at the hotel here or book a hotel nearby. This way, you will have more time to play, and you won't miss out on basic facilities and performances.
[Memories of Youth in the Gate of Time and Space]
The Ferris wheel in the memory of youth has always been synonymous with romance
For the post-90s generation, they may have been the first to come into contact with the term non mainstream. For more than a decade ago, when non mainstream trends were prevalent, young boys and girls would always yearn for scenes in novels or idol dramas, and Ferris wheel can be said to be the most romantic thing in the minds of many girls.
In fact, there were not many Ferris wheels in the country back then, and most of them were concentrated in first tier cities. Nowadays, almost every large amusement park has it, but the post-90s generation who grew up from the non mainstream generation still yearns for Ferris wheels.
It can be said that the Ferris wheel in the memory of youth is synonymous with romance.
This time I came here with Mr. Xu, the first stop was naturally the Ferris wheel that overlooks Shaoxing from the highest point.
The Ferris wheel here is located at the Gate of Time and Space, known as the Star of Jianhu. The total height of the building can reach 88 meters, and there are a total of 42 spacecraft suspended. From a distance, it looks like a colorful giant windmill slowly rotating, and it seems like sparkling pearls embedded in a huge spinning wheel.
Each cabin here is very large and can accommodate many people at the same time. Of course, if you are traveling as a couple like us, I suggest that you two pack a cabin, which will be more romantic.
The most noteworthy thing here is that the interior of the Ferris wheel is air-conditioned, so it's not too comfortable to ride in summer. When it's 35 degrees outdoors, sitting here is simply a super happy thing, which makes us all want to sit for an additional 2 laps.
Taking a Ferris wheel to reach the highest point, how could there be no selfie!!! The Ferris wheel is very stable, but Mr. Xu, a person with acrophobia, still has some weak legs, so he had to be called over to sit and take some selfies to shift his attention.
After reaching the highest point, you can see the entire scenery of the amusement park through the glass, and the overall layout of the amusement park is also fully visible. Speaking of which, what interests me the most is the castle in the distance.
[Stepping onto the retro train and embarking on an old time]
Entering the amusement park through ticket checking from Coolplay Kingdom, I got a map and heard that the amusement park was very large. At first, we couldn't figure it out, so we unanimously decided to take the Coolplay train in the amusement park and follow this retro small train around the entire amusement park, distinguishing the locations of each project, in order to travel more efficiently.
Kuwan Train is a retro steam locomotive with a strong sense of the times, which can be said to be a suitable amusement device for all ages. By taking such a train, you can explore the entire amusement park, and children are not limited in height. Older people will not feel overwhelmed by the pressure on their hearts.
Following the train tour, the tall castle can be said to have always been within our line of sight.
The turning point is the most suitable place to take photos of the train. The entire train can carry 63 passengers at the same time. The semi open carriages provide a better view, and there is a gentle breeze when riding on the train. This feeling is also quite good.
In the park, you can often see the figure of small trains, and when riding on them, you also feel that you have received a lot of people's attention.
Traveling along the track, passing by attractions such as Magic Ring Racing, Flying Boat Surfing, and more.
[2. In the Magic Garden, Guard Your Girl's Heart]
[Magic Trojan, it must be the most suitable place for taking photos]
Generally speaking, all amusement parks and carousels are the most suitable places for taking photos, especially in the evening when the lights are on. The warm yellow light paired with a cold blue sky background can be said to be the best looking background.
When we first arrived, the previous group of tourists had just started playing, so let's take some photos with a magical Trojan horse as the background while waiting. Generally speaking, taking photos of amusement parks can exaggerate the actions and make the characters more adorable, which can better showcase the cute girl's heart.
Mr. Xu and I haven't had many group photos before. This time, we had the opportunity to ask our friends to help us take a few. But for Mr. Xu, who is 10 times uglier on camera, he is still suitable for being behind the camera and not suitable for appearing in front of the camera haha.
After taking the photos, it's also our turn to walk into the magical Trojan horse. It's going to rain soon, so it's really cool not to have to queue up. You can enter the venue directly through VIP, choose a horse you like, decorate it with colorful carousels, colorful reliefs everywhere, and ever-changing lights. When spinning, it's accompanied by music, and the entire scene can be said to be extremely romantic and beautiful.
Riding on a Trojan horse, taking photos is incredibly beautiful. It is filled with a strong sense of childlike fun, and also carries romance and innocence. Knock the key point, come to Dongfang Shanshui Park, make sure not to forget to ride on the magical Trojan horse.
When it comes to my initial impression of carousels, it wasn't during childhood, but rather from watching Taiwanese idol dramas in junior high school.
At that time, carousels were a must-have place for couples to go in love, especially when renting a venue at night, many people longed for them.
[Using the cockpit as a carrier, flying towards high altitude]
Fantasy Flying Tower is a novel type of flying tower amusement equipment, with a total of 10 cabins. When riding on it, there will be staff to determine whether your insurance is fastened, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
This type of gaming device is designed to fly around a column under the action of centrifugal force while independently ascending and descending the cabin, bringing endless fun to the gameplay.
Because it is carried by the cockpit, it doesn't feel scary at all. Both the elderly and children choose to experience it, and the experience is very strong.
The first thing Mr. Xu and I did on the project was take selfies. When we were traveling alone, the best group photo was taken. Moreover, Mr. Xu, who is photographed in this way, will not feel too ugly (although I always appear to have a big face in front of me, and I am very angry)
After the project takes off, the field of view will become much wider, without the obstruction of glass, and the photos will also be very beautiful. Equipped with a camera mounted device, simulating the perspective of aerial photography in the air. Although we don't have wings and can't fly, with carriers, we can still appreciate the perspective of the sky.
[Be a 'little bee' and take a walk in the air]
The high-altitude lunar exploration project is somewhat similar to an electric monorail train type amusement machine. During the tour, the truck is driven by a walking motor to walk along the horizontal track and flap the wings on both sides of the high-speed train. Therefore, even at noon, playing this project will not feel too sun or hot.
The children will play more in this project. On the first day of the park, we had to queue up, so we didn't come to experience it. The next day at noon, there weren't many people here, but it gave us a chance.
I got into the project after queuing for six or seven minutes.
Sitting in the first row, you can also control the rotation through manual remote control. If four people are sitting at the same time, the front row can turn around and have a conversation in the air together.
When we take the ride, we can fully enjoy the natural and cultural landscapes in the park, and this is definitely an ideal amusement equipment for observing nature.
[New amusement experience in the spinning world]
Magic Cup is a rotating amusement machine with 6 cup holders evenly distributed on the turntable. In addition to rotating around its own central axis, it also rotates around the center of the small turntable. At the same time, each small turntable rotates around the center of the large turntable, so the experience is still very good.
This project is one of the must-have activities for families because it is not very exciting and can experience the fun of multiple compound rotations.
However, if you are prone to motion sickness or are not accustomed to this kind of spinning and turning, it is best not to experience it, so as not to vomit and doubt life haha. (PS: If you are feeling unwell, just raise your hand and the staff will help you urgently apply the brake to end the game early.)
[3. "Rapid heartbeat" in the exotic bay]
[Magic Ring Speed and Passion at 89km/h]
When it comes to amusement parks, romance and warmth alone are not enough. In such a high-pressure society, what we need more is venting, the pleasure brought by speed and passion.
So the magic ring racing car in the exotic bay can well fulfill our wish.
Entering here, what you hear in your ears is not only the sound of the wind, but also the loud screams of people.
The Magic Ring Speed may not look high, and the track may not be long, but this 45 meter high and 150 meter track is enough to bring unforgettable memories to people for life.
Starting from the platform, there is a rapid vertical lift of 50 meters, followed by a continuous 360 degree turn on the elevated suspension bridge track with a span of nearly 40 meters, and then rushing straight to the ground at a speed of 89 km/h. Just looking at some numbers, I'm afraid I'm already feeling scared. When I actually sit on the device, I'm probably both excited and nervous.
Mr. Xu and I have become increasingly timid as we grow older. This kind of exciting project is no longer within our consideration range, so we have taken some photos of others playing below.
The two people in the first row of the photo can be said to be super calm, and when you see the camera, you can still greet them calmly. The two young men in the back row, looking at their screaming posture, probably have doubts about life.
Do you dare to challenge this exciting project?
Who hasn't had a princess dream in the castle yet
From childhood to adulthood, we have read too many fairy tale picture books, most of which tell the stories of princes and princesses, and in these stories, castles are also indispensable. Nowadays, many places have castles, which are built exquisitely and have dreamy color combinations, attracting the hearts of countless young girls.
Although there must not be a prince from a fairy tale in these castles, who can say that they are not the princess in this castle.
Take a walk on the road leading to the castle and let Mr. Xu record the moment of this princess's dream.
[What I love the most in summer is definitely water sports]
In summer, when playing amusement parks, my favorite activity must be on water. The clothes I wear in summer are relatively light and thin, and even if they get splashed with water, they can dry quickly. Especially for girls, wearing flip flops and super short pants is not a big deal to play with.
Generally, water projects have separate areas, but this is different as it is located on a crystal castle. The feeling of flying down from the castle is really different.
The best location to shoot this project and the castle is on the roadside of the canyon drifting, standing on the road, feeling the speed of the ship descending, and then watching the huge splashes of water. In that moment, even people wearing raincoats will be hit by the huge water flow. (I'm secretly telling everyone that the water splashes in the front row will be smaller.)
After we finished taking photos, we collectively gathered in the queue area for flying boat surfing. After waiting for the boat, it will directly enter the wave shaped first level surfing area, and then drift along the waterway to reach the second level lifting area. Afterwards, it flew down from the 26 meter high track, reportedly reaching a speed of up to 80km/h, no wonder many people couldn't help but scream uncontrollably.
After falling, there was a large splash of water, and the boat entered the surfing area, drifting in the water. We can also quietly experience the unique beauty here.
【 Wu · New Gaming Experience in Cool Play World 】
[360 degree rotating super pendulum]
The first time I remember playing this super pendulum was in 2009, when I was only in high school. I seemed to have a fearless drive towards these projects.
During those years, I also played several times before and after. But now, in just 10 years, it seems that I have lost a lot of courage and dare not embark on such a project again.
The Super Pendulum Stone here is a new generation challenger's travel art aircraft, with the cockpit rotating in a circular motion around the swing arm, which also drives the cockpit to swing back and forth. The higher the arm swings, the more it will rotate 360 degrees, and the experiencer will also have a feeling of being in heaven for a while and being born in hell, which can be said to be super exciting.
[A high-altitude flying tower that is both exciting and suitable for sightseeing]
This is a flying tower type amusement aircraft. During gameplay, there are 21 cantilevers that extend out, and each of them drives a double seat to rotate around the vertical center pillar. This project may not actually have a high level of stimulation, but because it will reach a higher level, acrophobic patients may not be suitable for experiencing it.
Tourists who play this project can be lifted to a height of 46 meters and then fly around the central pillar at a speed of 50km/h. Flying in the air, the wind is strong, but you can also see the beautiful scenery of the amusement park.
[Indoor Flying Cinema, One of the Most Fun Projects]
Playing an amusement park now, without some high-tech cinemas, I always feel like it's a bit lacking in meaning.
The Flying Cinema at Shaoxing Oriental Landscape Park can be said to be one of the most exciting projects.
Feixiang Cinema covers an area of about 900 square meters, and a single building can reach 29 meters. The dynamic transmission platform here pushes the seats into a 180 degree hemisphere with a diameter of 23 meters in layers.
When this kind of project first came out, I found it very interesting and really had a feeling of being there.
This is a flying off Earth viewing experience. When we experience it, our feet are suspended in the air, and the strong sense of suspension and floating, coupled with the dynamic platform driving the seat stunts, is like being in the space between heaven and earth, really soaring thousands of miles with the flying boat.
Due to its fast speed and fluctuating up, down, left, and right, there may be a slight dizziness. However, since the project is indoors, watching a game takes about 8 minutes. Compared to outdoor projects, there are always more people gathered here.
At the moment of sitting in the seat, there was a feeling of "reaching the pinnacle of life".
When flying on an airplane, when you need to fire bullets, a sight will actually appear on the screen, which gives you a sense of aiming and a very realistic experience.
After breaking through the encirclement, one will come to a dreamy world where there are flowers, grass, birds, and fish. It is a dream garden, and perhaps also a dream home in the minds of many people.
【 Lu · New experience of spinning around in the adventure canyon 】
[Spinning experience of couple's racing car]
This is a project where the instantaneous speed and direction of each cabin constantly change, and because the changes are very fast, it will bring infinite joy and excitement to passengers. Under the action of centrifugal force, this feeling will become even stronger.
At first, Mr. Xu didn't want to play and always said it was too dizzy. I forced him to join the project. Look at the expression on this face that is full of nothing to love. It's really true that there is no love, no love.
Overall, if this project is particularly prone to dizziness or nausea, it is better not to try it easily. When it first comes down, it really feels a bit "ethereal".
[Cosmic Storm, a project that I dare not challenge at all]
If it were to be said that the pendulum could barely experience it, I really dare not experience this project.
From the picture, it can be seen that the person is still standing and then rotating 180 degrees upside down. When I was taking photos here, a little girl in Hanfu bravely walked towards the project.
This is a large rolling amusement device, with passengers standing inside the cockpit and adjustable pedals and pressure bars. The entire gameplay process is full of ups and downs, thrilling and exciting, fulfilling many people's dreams of becoming pilots.
If you also have a heart that wants to become a pilot, you can come here and give it a try.
[Canyon Drifting, A New Water Playing Experience Without Getting Wet]
This is a fusion of landscape architecture and modern high-tech, providing visitors with thrilling and refreshing experiences. Playing in the water in summer is also a great experience. It's not particularly challenging for the heart, but it's also quite exciting, with a sense of ups and downs.
When queuing up with Mr. Xu to embark on the project, we were together with two high school girls. Looking at their immature faces, we were not surprised and couldn't help but marvel at their youthfulness!
In the river, not only can one experience ever-changing scenes such as rough waves and rapid currents, but also appreciate the scenery on both sides of the river and feel the infinite joy of nature.
Mirror and Light in the Exploration of the Earth's Center
At first, I thought it was a geological museum with some popular science significance when I went on an expedition to the center of the earth. However, after arriving here, I realized that it had such a dreamy scene.
Walking through a passage similar to a "primitive forest", turning a corner suddenly brings clarity.
This is a world composed of mirrors and lights. The color of the light will constantly change, appearing endless through the reflection of the mirror.
This is too beautiful, isn't it. I grabbed Mr. Xu and quickly walked into this place, focusing on the color of the light and taking more photos.
Another area is different from this dense lighting, consisting of large light bulbs and constantly changing colors.
Holding a lamp, leaning against the mirror, taking a photo with Mr. Xu... The 20 minutes here were filled with excitement. The place with such lighting scenes in the amusement park is simply designed for couples!! How romantic!!
【 Experience of a 42 degree temperature difference in the world of drifting snow 】
In mid to late August, although the beginning of autumn has passed, Shaoxing is still in the prime of summer. The highest temperature at noon can still reach 367 degrees, and after being exposed to direct sunlight, the surface temperature becomes even higher.
Although playing in an amusement park can be relaxing and enjoyable mentally, the body still instinctively expresses that it is too hot to bear! So Go to the world of drifting snow to avoid the cold.
To enter here, you need to first put on the large cotton jacket prepared by the scenic area. The cotton jacket is medium length and can only be worn after entering.
Just as I walked in here, I even saw the scenery of snowflakes! It's really realistic to have a moment to travel to winter nights!
Ahead is a small courtyard with a strong Northeastern charm, where plum blossoms are in full bloom.
The contrast between wearing a big cotton jacket and wearing a flip flop with bare legs is only there at this time. Hurry up and take photos! Take photos with a small courtyard, a snowman, a pine tree, a penguin, and everything here.
The temperature here is around minus 8 degrees, forming a 42 degree temperature difference from the outdoor high temperature of 36 degrees. When I first came in from outside, I felt too cool, but after staying for a long time, it still felt a bit cool. At this time, I feel that the outdoor environment is better.
Human beings are really contradictory individuals.
【 Nine, Xuanyu Garden, a Different Study Experience 】
This is a section with a slightly different temperament from the amusement park, and its name comes from a line in "Leisure Dwelling Ode" that goes, "Practice the cultivation of the dense surroundings, that is, the mysterious house that covers the scenery.".
This poem effectively conveys to us the hidden and indifferent demeanor of ancient Chinese literati, as well as the intricacies of classical gardens and architectural history. Therefore, the overall architecture of Xuanyu Garden is a relatively traditional Chinese style, mainly featuring Huizhou architecture, reflecting a strong Chinese style.
There are also many small and medium-sized scenic spots in Xuanyu Garden. Here, not only can you enjoy the beautiful garden scenery, but you can also taste the rare and precious museums, and take a look at the art hall that gathers art.
Nowadays, this place is very suitable for children to study. Many people come here not only to play sports, but also to let children learn about traditional Chinese culture, which can be considered a way to rest and recuperate.
The performances in the amusement park are interactive times
There are many performances in the Cool Play Kingdom of Dongfang Shanshui. Before the park opens in the morning, there will be a welcome performance in front of the gate, all of which are foreign little brothers, ladies, and sisters. It's a bit like our old "drum and horn team", using small drums and forks to make instruments, and playing gongs and drums is very lively.
After the welcome performance, there will be a stunt performance on a bicycle. The guys are all well-trained, and the bicycle can be said to be played very smoothly. In addition to normal riding accidents, they can also use their physical strength to drive the entire bike to jump. This performance is simply amazing.
After two small performances, you enter Tianmu Street, and at this point, you truly enter the park. There are also many performers on Tianmu Street, which can be interacted with. I interacted with one of them for a while, and it felt like magic, getting up on the table without exerting force. I guess it may be related to magnets.
Stepping out of Tianmu Street, there is a "big iron ball". In front of it, there will be a hot dance performance, where foreign brothers and sisters can dance very freely and dance very high.
Following that was a thrilling motorcycle performance, with a very fast lap time. At its peak, there were four motorcycles spinning inside at the same time. This motorcycle skill is really perfect.
Water sports are quite common, relying on the throttle to control the height of the water, but most people cannot control it well, so this is also a result of long-term training.
In the afternoon, there will be a float parade, and most of the characters on the parade are performers who have been seen in the amusement park. The colors of these floats are also very dreamy, pink and tender, and really have a "princess", which is simply the girl's heart of many girls.
The float parade is not long, you can see it from standing on the main road, so remember to calculate the time accurately and don't miss it.
【 Eleven · The constantly changing screen on Tianmu Street 】
Tianmu Street is a must pass path for entering and exiting the amusement park. At the top of it is a very large LED screen, constantly changing the image, including the overall map of the amusement park, as well as starry sky or similar scenes in animations.
On both sides of Tianmu Street are some places selling food or souvenirs, all of which have air conditioning on. If you feel hot at noon, you can go in and take a stroll.
There are also many energy supply stations in the amusement park. If you run out of water, you can go here to buy it
[Twelve Episodes, Ending]
We have traveled many places with Mr. Xu, seen many landscapes, and experienced many different lives. However, we rarely reach places like amusement parks that are full of childlike innocence.
This time I have the opportunity to come here in August, ride Ferris wheel together, play carousel together, play water together, and take photos.
I think in the future, there will be more opportunities to do these things together.
