The park is called Hongyan Park because of the large red rocks of different shapes in the park. There is also a circular open-air stage formed by red rocks in the park. The red giant rocks on both sides of the theater are 250 million years old, and the curvature of the rocks is natural. . Well-known bands such as The Beatles, Coldplay, U2 and other bands have all performed here. If you happen to be here when there is a concert being held, you might as well buy a ticket to listen to one. Even if there is no performance, you can come here to walk around and join the guide Excursions, hiking, and the beauty of nature.Jefferson County · 44.3 km from Castle Rock

The weather is very good and the whole botanical garden is quite beautiful. It is known as the Plateau City. The botanical garden is very large and you can see many different plants. It is also a very relaxing botanical garden.

Lots of great exhibits and the animals look well cared for. I would love for more non zoo attractions and services. More food stands for instance.

Only 16% of the mountain was open, but it didn’t stop us from two extremely full days of enjoying new terrain. It was great not dealing with lines, crowds and the other inevitable parts of the busier parts of ski season. Will have to come back to hit the famous back bowls, but enjoyable nonetheless.

This amusement park is very large and has many rides, including roller coasters, bungee jumping, carousels, and performances. However, generally speaking, the food in scenic spots is more expensive, so you can also bring some snacks with you.
