Passenger experience

When I was a child, I used to go there. At that time, I still needed tickets. There was a charge service for taking pictures. The elders often asked them to take pictures for our children, and I still kept some of them. Before the children's Day theme park I do not know or quite like. Maybe because of the passage of time, the equipment inside has become very old, some of them look very small, and I don't feel interested. But it's good to take a walk in the afternoon sun or rent a boat, and enjoy the scenery in the lake. The main expenses are recreation facilities and food, but they are all very cheap, half of 30 yuan is almost the same

The ancient clock garden is free. You can see the biggest clock there. Sometimes there will be people singing in it. What you feel is the quiet. The place to play is actually quite old. I think the feeling of carousel is like that of last century. Ha ha, it's a little too much.

The park is not very big, but the scenery is very good and tasteful. The courteous house is very characteristic, classical and charming! Here is a free open, inside the architectural style and the name of the ancient
