Travel Notes│Changlong

For children, zoos and amusement parks are paradises for fun, and they never tire of playing.

Once, I happened to see an advertisement for Chimelong at a subway station, and I immediately became interested. After listening to my introduction, I began to miss it and looked forward to going there as soon as possible.

I started planning the time and route more than a month in advance to avoid the peak tourist season. My body has not moved yet my mind is far away.

The happiest thing is that the whole journey is more joyful and interesting with the company of baby Pippi and his family. The two angel children are always with us, making us extremely happy.

I briefly sorted out my travel diary and kept it as a souvenir.

Departure on the first day

Get up at 5:30 in the morning. After packing, leave for the airport at 6:10, check in, go through security, and take off on time at 8:00.

Here’s a little bit about what I saw: I saw two words on a billboard at the airport - Yu Jian·Zheng Hao, which really touched my heart.

The children were so excited that they turned into two little chatty chatters and chatted non-stop.

After landing, take the subway directly to Chimelong.

We checked into the Panda Hotel smoothly, and with the effective communication from the smart Mom, we were upgraded from the handsome room to the cool room.

After lunch, walk to Happy World. Due to height restrictions for children, about half of the activities can be played. Jungle Adventure~Interstellar Battle~Riding Rapids~Cute Pet Paradise~Youth Electronic Music Festival.

With the encouragement of their fathers and despite all kinds of hesitation, the two mothers tried to challenge the super big pendulum. The overall feeling was terrifying. I didn't open my eyes during the whole process, my voice was hoarse from shouting, and my legs were weak after the hammer was applied. So embarrassed~

In the evening, on Pi Ma's suggestion, we went to eat Baoma Ye. Sure enough, it is an internet celebrity. The abalone is delicious and the chicken soup is rich. It is worth checking out.

Only love and delicious food cannot be disappointed.

Return to hotel and rest. The room is not big, but it is exquisite. The slippers are of light quality and reflect the concept of environmental protection. The children's toothbrushes are cartoonish and cute. Looking from the window, there is a sense of intimacy like a silver-based ice and snow hotel.

After a tiring day, the baby lay down on the bed and fell asleep in seconds, falling into a sweet dream.

Day 2 Chimelong Wildlife World

A true safari park has a wide variety of species, a large number of animals, and they live in groups.

Groups of giraffes held their proud heads high and walked slowly on both sides of the train, within easy reach.

Flamingos are so eye-catching, chimpanzees are so smart, pandas are so cute, white tigers are so good-looking, koalas are so cute, Jurassic Park is so realistic, and leopard prints are so fashionable.

Occasionally, I encounter a small animal encyclopedia class, where a dedicated person explains animal knowledge and interacts in the classroom.

Except for a few waves of primary and secondary school students on study tours, it was particularly lively. There were very few other tourists, and there was basically no queue. You could play wherever you wanted.

It wasn't until the announcement that the park was closing rang that we reluctantly walked to the exit.

I had the buffet dinner at the Panda Hotel in the evening. Everyone reported that it was good, great value, and personally recommended.

I watched Pippi eat ice cream and reminded her, "Pippi, if you eat in small stutters, you'll cough if you eat too fast."

My baby, I understand.

I know that children are crazy about ice cream, but due to physical reasons, they almost never eat it.

So we discussed, would you like to have one too?

The child was so excited that he flew up.

I praised her before going to bed. When I saw the child eating ice cream, it was just a friendly reminder. She neither showed that she wanted to eat it nor cried and insisted on it. It was heartwarming and restrained. It was really good.

The kids played all day, then lay on the bed and fell asleep instantly.

Day 3 Water Park

After completing the check-out and luggage storage procedures, we headed to the water park.

I am really inexperienced. It was my first time to play water sports and I brought a few sets of clothes for my baby. In fact, I didn’t need them at all. One swimsuit was enough.

There is still almost no need to queue for all projects, just play when you arrive.

I played the lazy river three times. The most amazing thing was the centrifugal slide. The children especially liked it. My parents took turns and played it almost ten times.

The big skateboard slide and rock wheel require a height of more than 1.4 meters, so the two children were responsible for taking care of the items and shoes, and the parents went up to play.

Compared with the super big pendulum the day before yesterday, these two projects are quite mild.

Maybe after two days of stimulation, my courage and mental endurance have become stronger. I don’t feel particularly scared.

When we came down from playing, the two children immediately gave us slippers, which were so heart-warming.

There is a sense of comfort when the saplings you planted grow up and you stand under the tree to enjoy the shade.

When the park was about to close, the children walked out of the gate and waved goodbye reluctantly.

Arrive to the city to check in at night.

This is probably the most satisfying hotel I have ever stayed in.

Even though the kids loved the Tesla room, it didn’t have too many Tesla elements. However, the hotel facilities and equipment are new and the service attitude is good. Afternoon tea and midnight snacks are provided in each room. Welcome fruit and good night milk are delivered to the room.

Children's slippers and toothbrushes are delivered to the room by a robot. The cute robot is so cute.

From the window, you can see the landmark of Guangzhou - Xiaomanyao. Two moms turned into photographers and models in seconds.

It was almost eleven o'clock, and the two children were still inseparable.

I feel emotional every day that it’s great to have a little friend. It’s really a blessing to be able to travel together.

Day 4: Head to Zhuhai

After breakfast, the children took a bubble bath and didn't want to leave until they checked out.

The afternoon was mainly spent driving around, which was really embarrassing. I took the subway to Guangzhou South Railway Station, but ticket checking had stopped, so I had to change my ticket to the light rail 40 minutes later.

The children were happy to have fun and have all kinds of fun. We were the only ones in the entire carriage, and it felt like we were being reserved.

After checking in, take a short rest and go to the International Circus.

Passing by the Circus Hotel, it looks so beautiful.

Because the tickets have been upgraded to VIP, the viewing angle is very good and it is also conducive to interaction with the actors.

First, we watched the majestic free equestrian performance, the exciting music, and the vigorous actors, which attracted bursts of applause from the audience, and the whole atmosphere was completely ignited.

Subsequent programs such as three-person strength, group hand skills, aerial hoops, penguin parade, bar shaking, extraordinary spider-man, figure basketball and other programs were all unique and exciting.

All foreigners are humorous and show their international style.

The last time I saw a circus show was at Yinji Animal Kingdom. It was a temporary performance during New Year's Day. The actors performed very hard and the performance was excellent.

This time it was more interesting and the program arrangement was richer. The children said they loved it so much.

Looking at it, I felt a little heavy.

When I was a child, I heard adults say that, under normal circumstances, those who learn acrobatics are mostly children from poor families. I dropped out of school early and didn't have many options, so I had no choice but to study and perform arts.

I watched some young actors, who were frail in stature, twisting themselves into a knot on the stage, with their eyeballs protruding and veins popping out.

I really want to cry.

What the audience sees is the actors stepping on tightropes and climbing over walls. What they cannot see is their decades of hard training. The tears and sweat behind them are something that we ordinary people will never be able to experience firsthand.

Compared with the so-called celebrity artists who earn 2.08 million a day and can only stare and pout, they are more worthy of being respected and admired. They are artists in the true sense and should receive higher remuneration.

After the circus, we took a taxi to Hengqin Town to eat seafood.

There were a lot of people, and the seafood shop was overcrowded. The seafood was very fresh and plentiful. The two dads drank until their cheeks turned red.

This place, this area, is truly a magical place. Hotels, attractions, and restaurants are crowded and bustling; other than that, other places are deserted.

Day 5 Chimelong Ocean Kingdom

After entering the park, you will see the gorgeous and diverse underwater world under the large sky above your head with high-definition color rendering.

The children danced freely in front of the rockery following the band's performance, which was very impressive.

Then we watched Walrus Mountain, Penguin Pavilion, Polar Bear, Kaka Little Chef, Sea Trapeze Show, etc.

The performances in the Dolphin Theater attracted a large number of tourists. The huge venue was packed with seats. The innocent dolphin seemed to turn into a flying fish as soon as it entered the water. It cooperated with the keepers in a tacit understanding and performed paddling and diving. The children were stunned.

The children enjoyed amusement rides such as a mini roller coaster and a rainforest lift tower.

It's a pity that I couldn't see it as a 5D cinema.

We had dinner at the buffet restaurant in the evening, which was similar to the Panda Hotel and was still rich and varied.

I saw a queue to get food in the Hai District, so I went around.

I am not very interested in seafood meals, but a bowl of noodle soup topped with large pieces of beef offal is more satisfying.

Then we watched the fireworks show in Ocean Kingdom - Battle of the Sea.

To sum it up in one sentence - this is the grandest and most exciting fireworks show I have ever seen, bar none.

There are basically no photos, because the few I took were deleted. It seems that no matter how sophisticated the camera is, it can’t capture the shock of the scene. The combination of sound, light and shadow is too gorgeous.

Day 6 Dongao Island

The original plan was to stay at Dong'ao Island, but because the flight and ferry schedules didn't coincide enough, we decided to continue staying at the Penguin Hotel and go to Dong'ao Island to play on the beach.

A group of people took a boat to the island. The children had a natural affinity with the beach and had a great time riding waves and digging in the sand.

2021 | Summer

Adults and children experienced a banana boat together. The motorboat was pulling in front. We were speeding in circles on the boat, sometimes smoothly, sometimes bumpy. The sea breeze ruffled our hair, and the waves hit our faces. Everyone kept screaming and cheering. , excited.

The coconut trees on the shore are tall and straight, and their leaves are facing the wind and swaying gently with the music.

The children were running and making trouble, but the space between their fingers was too wide and the time was too short. They had no time to appreciate it and had to rush to the next link.

It is said that the seafood at the pier is the freshest. I chose the ones I liked the most and took them to a nearby restaurant for processing. Although the price was not so beautiful, it was worth it because I had a lot of fun eating it.

I watched the fireworks show again in the evening, and I still couldn't take my eyes off it, for fear of missing any moment.

Day 7 Return

After playing in the hotel for a while in the morning, I was ready to return. Everything went smoothly. It was all planned in advance. There was no rush or any time wasted.

Arrive home smoothly, put down your luggage and rush to work.

Well, work requires me and I love working.

Summarize

First, annual parent-child travel is essential.

Improving parent-child relationships and further building an unbreakable relationship between children and parents is the most obvious gain.

The children sat on their father's neck watching programs and fireworks, holding their little hands with their big ones, sometimes communicating, and sometimes laughing together.

Although my father was sweating profusely, he was still enjoying it.

Dad’s broad shoulders are the happiest paradise for children in their childhood.

As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Parent-child travel can not only increase happiness and intimacy, but more importantly, it can stimulate children's curiosity and desire to explore, increase their knowledge reserves, enhance their contact and experience with society and nature, and help improve their perception ability. .

I asked the teacher for leave, saying that my child would be traveling far away in the next week. The teacher said, He He has already told us, wishing you a happy journey.

Needless to say, you can imagine the child's proud and expectant face at that time, just like when he came back, he said he wanted to share his feelings with the children in the kindergarten.

Therefore, traveling can also enhance children’s self-confidence and communication skills.

When schoolwork is not so heavy yet, take your children to the outside world for a walk as much as possible.

See flowers blooming and leaves falling, listen to birds chirping and insects chirping, appreciate scenic spots and historic sites, smell the earth, and feel the various human conditions and this colorful world with your heart.

Second, it is too worry-free to travel with a wise partner.

Pi's mother has clear ideas and active thinking. She arranges clearly which ones are fun and which restaurants are delicious. When encountering problems, she immediately knows how to solve them.

When I found out that the purchase channel for the ferry ticket to Dongao Island had been closed, I called the customer service and explained the reason. The other party immediately opened the ticket purchase channel, and I bought the round-trip ticket within a few minutes.

When I asked about the cost when taking a banana boat ride, the other person bluntly said that the fee is based on the number of people and there is no discount. Pi Ma got the expected discount in just a few words, and I was so shocked that I forgot to close my mouth.

The third is to make detailed and optimized itinerary strategies.

Carefully sort out various arrangements, coordinate various elements such as time, transportation, accommodation, meals, entertainment, etc., and detail every item at every time point of every day. Follow the diagram and take your time.

Have fun, eat well, and live comfortably.

The fourth is to maintain a positive and peaceful attitude at all times.

In the process of traveling, emergencies occasionally occur, such as being unable to catch the bus, not being able to stay in the hotel of your choice, or even being ripped off while shopping, etc. These are all very common things, so just do your best to solve them.

Peace of mind is where you belong.

Treating every ups and downs during the journey with a normal mind is another kind of spiritual cultivation.

After seven days of non-stop work, my body is exhausted, but my mind is relaxed and free.

The moment we stepped into our home, this trip came to a successful end.

All in all, it's been a long time, but worth the wait.

I am very grateful to the leaders and colleagues for their care during this period. As soon as I was away from my job, my work was not delayed too much. I am grateful to Pippi's family for accompanying me, making us feel that this trip was happy and wonderful. Thank you to the head of the household and me, He. It is you who give me warmth and motivation. Traveling together is a super happy thing.

Peaches and plums are so charming before the wind, but willows are more gentle.

Call for music, singing and singing. Don't worry about your worries.

It's good to enjoy it all night long while the spring is clear, and the rain will stop in spring.

Don’t accept the cups and plates. Only then did he hold his head up.

When the sun is right and the breeze is not dry, take your family and go travel together.
