Joyful Reunion at Hangzhou Paradise – Everything You Want Is Right Here
Someone said, “Traveling with children is the most romantic form of parenting.” When traveling with my dear Miaoman babies, I always do it in a way they love.
Hangzhou Paradise is a famous comprehensive theme park in the Yangtze River Delta region, bustling with events all year round. Since the last time I took the Miaoman babies there, the two of them keep bringing it up, never forgetting it.
Hangzhou Paradise and Rotten Apple Paradise joyfully reunite, officially reopening to the public on March 6. On opening day, I took the kids to check in; it's been over two years since our last visit. Oh, time flies! Children grow up in the blink of an eye. As an old mother, I look through photos, reminiscing about that sweet memory from the past.
Hangzhou Paradise's Color Carnival revolves around the theme "Spring awakens life, colors ignite youth." It kicks off with the "Masked Lovers" social party, where visitors wear a variety of masks or quirky headpieces, joining in interactive games and parade performances. After getting to know each other over time, when the masks are finally removed, they experience a uniquely romantic encounter!
The YOUTH Trend Parade, FUNS Glitter Carnival Party, street art, and more exhilarating activities continue nonstop. Here, everyone sheds age, identity, and gender, forgets worries, keeps up with the trend, and wildly unleashes their youth together.
Throwing confetti, sipping drinks, music, applause, dancing, laughter...
Throughout, little Man baby and a beautiful princess sister walked hand in hand, beaming with joy, smiling from ear to ear. At the end of the event, they were interviewed by Hangzhou TV. Seeing my baby answer calmly and confidently, this old mother just stood by and enjoyed the show.
After watching the stylish and cool "YOUTH Trend Parade," the babies couldn't wait to start frolicking in the park.
Amusement Rides:
The park boasts dozens of thrilling large-scale rides, such as the Rain God's Hammer, Wind God's Hand, Double Pirate Ship, Sky High, Jungle Twist, Parachute Tower, High-Flying, and Trendsetter, among others. There are also dozens of lively and fun rides for younger children, like the music boat, bumper cars, and a small Ferris wheel. Rediscover that heart-pounding excitement and experience thrills and spills—after playing, just one word: awesome!
Here's a tip of good news:
From now until March 15, purchase a ticket for 199.9 (originally 520) and enjoy unlimited visits all year round, valid until November 30—almost a full year of fun!
Rotten Apple Paradise's Color Carnival kicks off simultaneously, newly upgraded with parent-child projects like "Interstellar Exploration Space," Candy House Party, and Music Workshop. In the brand-new Candy Party Room, a candy-themed birthday party was held for little friend Yan Yuxin. She and the other children put on fairy-tale-colored party costumes, transformed into "little elves," and played games with Guoguo and Niuniu, spending a delightful childhood moment amidst laughter and joy.
Rotten Apple is a three-story indoor amusement park. Its over 30,000 square meters of indoor spaces house cutting-edge high-tech audiovisual interactive experiences, including the XD Virtual Roller Coaster, Ambient 4D, Storm Eye, Earthquake House, motion-sensing interactive cinema, Magic Mini Train, Deep-Sea Shipwreck Listening Room, Prehistoric Ocean, and 200 Million Years Under the Sea. A magical journey of technology and dreams sets sail here. Besides experiencing the various attractions, a lineup of performance shows unfolds one after another, offering whole-family fun. Suitable for kids of all ages, adults are unwittingly drawn in, as if returning to their own childhoods.
Hangzhou's First World Hotel is adjacent to both Hangzhou Paradise and Rotten Apple Paradise. The hotel boasts a strong Southeast Asian style—luxurious and imposing. We stayed in a parent-child themed room with one large and one small bed, just right for a twin family like ours. As soon as we entered the room, the kids got excited, discovering lots of fun goodies: a little wooden horse, a tent, building blocks, a slide...
Dinner was a buffet at the hotel's Thai Pavilion, with an extensive selection of dishes. A one-stop vacation resort, super convenient for family travel.
Here are two thoughts from the babies after the fun:
"As soon as we arrived at Hangzhou Paradise, we saw so many rides. I'm a bit timid, and I was afraid to try some at first, but after gathering the courage to go on once, I wanted to go again a second time. The little Ferris wheel was a bit scary at first, but after one spin, I wasn't scared anymore—my courage just grew and grew. Rotten Apple Paradise is so beautiful; some parts look like an ocean world, and others like a colorful candy house. When we rode the merry-go-round, I felt nervous at first, but then I saw Mom taking pictures of me, so I posed with different moves and expressions, and I stopped feeling nervous right away. I feel like my bravery got bigger."
"I love it here so much! There's a little Ferris wheel, a wobbly boat, a mini train... so many fun rides, and I want to try every single one. In Rotten Apple Paradise, I saw a birthday party for a child—it was so lively, and I really wish Mom would throw one like that for me. I also love this hotel, because it has My Little Pony lights, a slide, a tent, colorful balls, building blocks..."
Playing and learning together with your children brings them more joy and nurtures a kind, optimistic character. For innocent children, travel is the start of budding curiosity and the driving force that expands their limited world. Many "faraway places" we longed for in childhood eventually become the very ground beneath our feet at some point in life's long journey. Growing up is a "great journey" that makes dreams come true.
