Summary of Taierzhuang Ancient City Trip

Taierzhuang Ancient City Two-Day Tour Summary First, the ticket price of 118 yuan allows re-entry. We entered from the south gate, exited from the east gate to watch the welcome show, and when we re-entered after the show, there were too many people. There were also frequent issues with tickets not being scanned properly, and entering the ID number didn't work, causing long delays. Second, the welcome show's lighting effects were pretty, but the 5-minute duration was too short. Third, the iron flower performance was impressive. We arrived at the Guandi Temple Square 20 minutes early but it was still too late; it was already packed with people three layers deep inside and out. Fortunately, we found a higher spot to watch from. Despite this, the iron flower performance was still stunning. Unlike the colorful splendor of fireworks, the iron flowers shone as bright and dazzling as the sun. Fourth, the lady rowing the sculling boat was beautiful with a sweet voice. The route from Fuxing Wharf to the West Gate is difficult, with fewer boats and a long wait, while the East Gate has more boats and less waiting. Points of dissatisfaction: The map showed a sculling boat dock at Wanggong Bridge, but we waited for over ten minutes and saw no boat. Only after asking did we find out that there was no boat service at this dock, which was misleading. At Fuxing Wharf, there were no signs indicating the routes to the East or West Gates or whether they were round trips, so it was easy to queue up incorrectly without asking. 1. The Qianlong Emperor's parade, with the actor in the yellow robe and several consorts appearing, was hilarious, and I don't want to comment on the rest. 2. Next to the Zhao Huang Museum, there's a Luban lock experience hall that's hardly worth mentioning; the Luban locks inside are overpriced compared to those outside. 3. The snack prices are not high; the vegetable pancake and pear soup near the small south gate are delicious, but the taste of other snacks is average. 4. The Liuyin opera was incomprehensible to me. 5. I picked up a lantern but lost a fan and an umbrella. 6. The place we stayed at is probably called 'Lake Moonlight', with excellent service. It's an inn near the lake, and I give it 90 points. By the way, if there's a next time, I'll make sure to bring all the gear for the kids, including lanterns, balloons, Hanfu, a big sword, and even a drone, for a doubled experience effect.
