Here's an immersive two-day, one-night report on my trip to Longemont during the Labor Day holiday!



🔥I just finished my trip to Huzhou Longemont during the Labor Day holiday! Is it a treasure trove for family trips or a minefield? Read this before you decide!

🏨Accommodation recommendation: Animal World Hotel
We drove ourselves 🚗. The car was parked at the hotel. There are ground and underground parking lots 🅿️. Scan the QR code to get a hotel parking voucher, which allows free entry and exit within three days. This time, we stayed in the Tiger Building, 🐯 Tiger Zone, so the room theme was Tigger. As a family-friendly hotel, the room provides quite comprehensive amenities for children. There is an animal specimen area in the hotel lobby, 🐒🐘🦒🐪🦓🐏🐄. Take some photos 📷 (Tips: The buffet restaurant on the second floor of the hotel has lions 🦁 raised outside the glass, so you can take your children to watch them up close.)

Day 1:
⬇️Grand Circus
We watched the 2pm show. The entire performance lasted about 85 minutes ⭕️ There were a lot of people!!! Be sure to grab a seat in advance. You can enter up to 60 minutes before the show starts ⭕️ If you want a good view and aren't afraid of water, you can sit in the rows closest to the stage (there is a diving segment).

⬇️Night tour of Taihu Ancient Town
🌛The Taihu Ancient Town at night is beautiful, and the 🎆 fireworks show is not to be missed! If you want to grab a prime spot to watch the fireworks show, I recommend 📍 the Water Show Area, Carp Gate, and Longemont Water Show Area Lawn. And 📍 the second floor of the Tongxin Bridge is the best place to photograph the molten iron fireworks and fire pot performances. But be aware that you must go early, because there are so many people ‼️ If you go late, you may only be able to stand behind the crowd.

Day 2:
⬇️9:00–16:00 Zoo
• After entering the park, you 🉑 can take the small train first (free, but you need to wait in line due to the large number of people) to visit the vehicle area, and the route includes sika deer, camels, Tianchi and other animal areas.
• After getting off the small train, it is recommended to visit in a counterclockwise direction: Giraffe and Elephant Area → Free exploration to the Children's Park → Macaws, Kangaroos → Hippos → Pet Home
• There are also feeding interactions. We bought a feeding card for CNY 100 for 7 times, which is very cost-effective. You can check in with 🦌 deer, 🐻 brown bears, 🐘 African elephants, 🦙 alpacas and other animals.

Overall experience 🌟🌟🌟🌟
💌During this Labor Day trip to Longemont, although we were squeezed out of shape by the crowds, the joy we gained completely offset the little annoyances caused by the crowds~ The kids were so tired that they fell asleep instantly at night, which made the mothers very happy ‼️
