    The Chinese-style horror is indeed amazing, but it's more suitable for older children. It's not very friendly to children under 120cm, as there are many height restrictions, which is a bit of a shame. The park is very large, and there are many very friendly NPCs. I'll definitely come back when my child is older.

    【Huai'an Prefectural Government Office】One of only two remaining ancient government offices in China, and also the largest and most complete Ming and Qing dynasty government office still standing; the place where the most complete collection of ancient Chinese prison torture instruments is preserved; the site of the tragic story of "Dou E's Injustice"‼ Tangtang's (the actress's) psychological resilience is absolutely beyond my imagination.

    A visit to Huai'an is a must-see for Wu Cheng'en's former residence. The city is known as the birthplace of Premier Zhou Enlai and three famous novels. In memory of Wu Cheng'en, exhibition halls have been dedicated to Journey to the West, Master Xuanzang, and the family of Liu Xiaolingtong. Even the live-action games available at the scenic spot are themed around fighting monsters, which is quite fitting!

    Zhuangyuanli Ancient Architectural Complex The Zhuangyuanli Ancient Architectural Complex project is located in the core area of ​​Hexia Ancient Town, a first batch of Jiangsu Provincial Historical and Cultural Blocks in Huai'an District, a famous historical and cultural city. The main body of the Zhuangyuanli Ancient Architectural Complex includes three ancient buildings: "Jinshi Di" (进士第), named after the three generations of the Hu family (Hu Lian, Hu Xiaocai, and Hu Yingjia) who produced three Jinshi (进士) scholars during the Ming Dynasty, hence the name "Shi Jinshi Di" (世进士第); because Hanlin scholars were also known as "Taishi" (太史), the residence of Cheng Hang, a descendant of Huizhou salt merchants, a Jinshi, and a Shujishi (庶吉士) in the Hanlin Academy, was called Da Shi Di Xiang (大史第巷), and Tai Shi Di Xiang (太史第巷); the ancients believed that the stars of literature and literature were the stars of success, and those who passed the Jinshi examination were considered the best in literature, so they were awarded plaques and had Wen Kui (文魁) buildings erected in their honor, and the residence of Wu Zhun, a descendant of Huizhou salt merchants and a Jinshi, was called "Wen Kui Lou" (文魁楼). The Zhuangyuanli Ancient Architectural Complex project integrates traditional Chinese classical architecture with the Jinshi culture of Hexia, fully showcasing the Jinshi culture of Hexia and the style of traditional Chinese architecture.

    The Liyun Canal Scenic Area is free, but you need a ticket for the cruise. It is recommended to take a cruise to see the night view. We bought the cruise ticket in advance, and we need to exchange it for a paper ticket first, and then queue up to get on the bus. There were too many people during the May Day holiday, and we queued for more than two hours before we got on. During this time, we had dinner at the Qifeng Pavilion, and there was a performance at the National Master Tower, so the waiting time was not so unbearable.

    Before I went, I thought I was just paying respects to a top scholar. Later, after reading Shen Kun's character profile, I learned that he also has connections to Wu Cheng'en and Sun Wukong, which only made the character even more legendary. This scenic spot isn't particularly interesting, so I wouldn't recommend it if you have limited time. However, out of respect for the original Sun Wukong and the scholar and anti-Japanese hero, it's worth a visit.
