Not Disney! Nanjing! My friends are asking me about it

Hey family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, I recently took my child to Nanjing Ginkgo Lake Park, and it was a blast! Today, I'm going to share a super detailed family travel guide with you. If you're planning to take your child there, make sure to save this post 📖! Transportation 🚌 We chose to take public transportation 🚇, which was very convenient. We took the S1 subway line in Nanjing and got off at Zhengfang Zhonglu Station. After exiting from Exit 2, there was a free shuttle bus 🚌 to the park. If you're driving, just navigate to "Nanjing Ginkgo Lake Park Parking Lot." The parking fee is reasonable. Opening Hours 🕙 The park is generally open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm (specific hours may vary depending on the season and holidays, so be sure to check the official WeChat account before you go). We entered the park in the morning and played until the evening. There was plenty of time, and we managed to try almost all the attractions. Transportation in the Park 🚂 Once inside the park, you'll see a small train 🚂. I highly recommend taking it with your child. It's CNY 20 per person and takes you around the park, offering beautiful scenery along the way. If you get tired of walking, you can hop on the train anytime. If you prefer more freedom, you can also rent a family bike 🚲 and leisurely explore the park. Route Planning 🎢 🎠 Amusement Park: As soon as you enter the park, go straight to the amusement park. Start with the "Hans Christian Andersen Theater," where classic fairy tales are brought to life by real actors. Your child will be captivated 👀. Then, try the "Cyclone Big Pendulum," which is thrilling but safe, and your child will have a blast. Don't miss the "Ferris Wheel," which offers a panoramic view of the entire park. 🌳 Ecological Zone: After passing through the cave in the amusement park, you'll reach the ecological zone. It's filled with lush greenery and fresh air. Walk along the lakeside path, and you'll see black swans 🦢 swimming in the water. When you reach the "Musical Fountain," you'll be amazed by the fountain's rhythmic movements synchronized with the music. 🎭 Performances: The park offers several performances, including a parade in the afternoon, where various cartoon characters interact with children. Your child will be thrilled to receive small gifts. Check the park map in advance for performance times, so you don't miss out. Photo Spots 📷 Don't miss the "Castle" in the amusement park, with its vibrant colors that make you feel like you're in a fairy tale. The "Rainbow Bridge" in the ecological zone looks stunning against the blue sky and white clouds. There's also "Love Island," filled with flowers and greenery, perfect for taking heartwarming photos with your child. Food Recommendations 🍔 The park offers a variety of delicious food. The "Dinosaur Restaurant" serves adorable and tasty burger sets. The snack stalls in the ecological zone offer grilled sausages and cotton candy, keeping your child munching all the way. When you're tired, try a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup, which is incredibly flavorful and loved by both adults and children. Accommodation Recommendations 🏨 We stayed at the resort hotel inside the park, which had rooms decorated with a playful theme and a special bed for children. The hotel also has a direct passage to the park, allowing you to sleep in a bit longer in the morning and easily return to your room for a rest when you're tired. Summary 🥰 Our family trip to Nanjing Ginkgo Lake Park was absolutely amazing! Our child had a great time, and we adults felt like we were reliving our childhood. From thrilling rides to the beautiful ecological zone and exciting performances, every moment was unforgettable. If you want to give your child a memorable family trip, Ginkgo Lake Park is an excellent choice. Start planning now 💗!
