    Although everyone says the 50 yuan price tag is bad value for money, it's something I learned about in elementary school, so I figured I should at least check it out. The riverside view is quite nice, though it gets very crowded, and climbing up is really tiring.

    Why go to the Haihunhou Museum? For me personally, it's to see what true wealth really is, what a real mountain of gold and silver looks like, and to witness firsthand the different forms of gold. Liu He, the Han Dynasty emperor who reigned for only 27 days, may have enjoyed a short period of glory, but his accumulation of wealth was astonishing. It is said that the Haihunhou tomb yielded 480 gold artifacts, including gold discs, gold pendants, gold hoof-shaped gold pieces, and gold plates, totaling 115 kilograms. This is the largest amount of gold ever discovered in a Han Dynasty tomb in my country, even exceeding the total amount of gold artifacts unearthed in previous Han Dynasty tombs.

    The Ferris wheel is quite large and is located in a park. You don't need a ticket to enter the park, but you do need a ticket to ride the Ferris wheel. If you just want to take pictures, you can do so in the nearby MixC mall. There are fewer people on weekday evenings, so you can discuss with the staff to sit in a private room with your friends. The whole trip takes about 25 minutes.

    Stepping into the Jiangxi Provincial Museum is like traveling back a thousand years to the Ganpo region. The bronze ware exhibition on the first floor is the most breathtaking. The intricately decorated Shang Dynasty bronze yan (a type of cooking vessel) with deer-shaped ears and four legs reveals the wisdom of the ancient Yue people hidden within its patina. On the second floor, in the ceramics hall, the clear glaze of Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain and the Yuan Dynasty blue and white peony-patterned plum vase are national treasures, each stroke embodying the splendor of the porcelain capital. On the third floor, the revolutionary history exhibition area, with its yellowed letters and artifacts, quietly tells the story of those turbulent years. The most surprising attraction is the dinosaur fossil hall, where massive skeletons recreate the majestic posture of prehistoric beasts, leaving visitors in awe. The museum's layout is clear, and the exhibits are accompanied by detailed explanations, allowing visitors to both feel the weight of history and the warmth of culture. A two-hour visit leaves one wanting more; the cultural heritage of the Ganpo region shines brightly in every artifact.

    I went there on the Army Day, which was very meaningful. I invited the guide and my parents listened with great interest. They may not have known much about that period of history before, so it was good to give them some popular science.

    We arrived at Sea World before 1pm, and then we were busy watching all kinds of performances. It was already 4pm, and I just felt a little relaxed. We saw the animal interaction time at 4:10pm, and then we petted snakes, hugged lizards, and touched bunnies. Then we went to see the dolphin and seal show. After the show, we were given tickets for the Dream Back to Hongzhou show. Pizza Hut is right next to the escalator at the Sea World exit. We entered the park for free and played a free ride in the Colorful World. The Dream Back to Hongzhou show far exceeded our expectations and was wonderful. It was a very fulfilling day.

    雾松.雾松.

    With the August 1st Nanchang Uprising Memorial Tower at its core, the site carries a rich history and features a highly engaging flag-raising ceremony. It serves as a vital venue for revolutionary education and patriotic expression. Combining both commemorative and leisure features, it boasts military history landscapes, a musical fountain, and regular cultural activities. It serves as both a popular check-in spot for tourists and a daily leisure space for residents. Addressing issues such as commercial photo shoots occupying the road, dedicated check-in areas and guided pathways are quickly designated to enhance the visitor experience. However, rectification efforts to address commercial photo shoots occupying the road and congestion in some areas have had limited success. Furthermore, the surrounding underground passages and lack of connectivity to the subway create inconvenience for travelers.
