Things to do in Xiaogan

The festive atmosphere was strong, the performances were wonderful, and the scenery was delightful. As the wall lights came on at night, every corner was a picturesque scene. The white walls and black tiles, the Hui-style architecture, the small bridges and flowing water—all exuded the gentle charm of Jiangnan.

One day isn't enough to experience all the attractions. The Corgi go-kart, which is supposedly super popular online, is a complete rip-off. You queue for an hour, get on for only 45 seconds, and it only goes around once, not even finishing the first loop. I think the online reviews are exaggerated; it's not worth the money and I wouldn't recommend it. The other attractions I've tried are all fine. There aren't many staff members in the park. When I went to Fantawild in Jingzhou, there seemed to be 2-3 staff members per ride, but here there was only one. However, he was very helpful and answered all my questions. Overall, it was okay, and the kids had a great time.

We took our 11-year-old on a spontaneous trip, leaving at 7 am and arriving before 8 am. We parked in Zone B, right next to the amusement park, no walking required. It was too early, so we rested a bit before queuing to enter around 9 am. We hadn't done much research, just downloaded the app and booked two theater shows – no queues, awesome! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 #XiaoganFantawildWeAreHere We rode the pirate ship, a little thrilling, followed by the Fire Phoenix ride, which was very comfortable and, like the Spinning Lights ride, more suitable for younger children – so cute! The VR rides were okay, didn't seem to have any restrictions. Our child especially loved the giant pendulum ride, went several times, and personally felt it was more thrilling than the one at Wuhan Happy Valley. The amusement park's highlights were the abundance of seats, the thoughtful design, and the most commendable were the water rides with no queues – the water was shallow and quite clean, and our child played on them for over an hour. Overall, it was a good experience. Although I don't particularly like the Boonie Bears IP, I still had a lot of fun after a day of playing. I originally wanted to see the fireworks show, but it wasn't until 9 PM, so I didn't.

Baizhao Mountain is where Li Bai lived from age 27 to 37, during which time he wrote famous poems such as "Drinking Alone Under the Moon," "The Road to Shu is Hard," and "Drinking Alone Under the Moon." This scenic area includes the Ancestral Hall, Li Bai's birthplace, a statue of Li Bai, the South Heavenly Gate, the Bell Tower, the Drum Tower, and other historical sites. The mountain isn't very high; you can walk along, reading the poems, stopping frequently, and eventually reach the giant statue of Li Bai. It's definitely worth a visit.

The Phoenix Fairy City Scenic Area is located in Maochen Town, Xiaonan District, Xiaogan City, Hubei Province. It has the "Ten-mile Long River, Eighteen Scenes, Twenty-eight Paintings Fairy City" scenic spots. It is one of the 25 leading tourism projects identified in the "Outline of the 13th Five-Year Tourism Development Plan of Hubei Province". The Phoenix Fairy City is divided into two parts: the southern scenic area and the northern residential area. The southern scenic area covers an area of ​​2,135 acres. Relying on the geographical advantages of Wangmu Lake, it is planned to build a 4A tourist attraction that integrates Chinese filial piety culture, water ecological culture, "Ten-mile Long River, Eighteen Scenes, Twenty-eight Paintings Fairy City", etc.

This year, we had a long holiday for National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, but we didn't travel far for fear of traffic jams. The elderly in my family missed Xiaogan where they had stayed when they were young, so the whole family went to Xiaogan for some fun. The most famous place in Xiaogan is Dong Yong Park. The park is in the city center. It is not too big, but it has a lot of cultural connotations. The park is full of various idioms about filial piety, as well as the legend of Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies. There is also a museum of filial piety. It is worth taking time to see and appreciate it.

The hot spring is halfway up the mountain, with an elegant environment and attentive service. There are free bath towels along the way, tea and water are available, and free fruit is provided in the rest area on the second floor. Bring your family out for a trip, and everyone gives it a unanimous praise!

A scenic spot suitable for weekend trips or team building, you can climb mountains and organize expansion projects. The scenery in spring and summer is quite good. There are also tea gardens nearby to visit, and Jinhui Manor is not far away for flower viewing~
