Trip to Qiqihar

Our family drove to Qiqihar and stayed at the 'Venus International Hotel' where the service was excellent, including the security uncle. It was genuinely considerate. They urged us to go inside because we were holding our child and waiting to get our luggage from the car, worried that our child might get cold . The location in front of the hotel is a commercial street with everything you need, including hospitals, shopping malls, underground pedestrian streets, dining options, and there is a long night market nearby. The hotel's facilities are simple European style and still look quite new. The entire hotel is very clean, and the carpets are spotless, which shows the hard work of the cleaning staff. When we checked out, we accidentally left a bracelet and a watch at the hotel, but after a phone call, they were found and kept safe by the front desk staff, so we went to the nearby 'Longsha Zoo and Botanical Garden' without worries. There are many animals and the performances are exciting. The African dance performers are great at creating a lively atmosphere. They are cooperative with taking photos and do not charge for it. They are afraid that guests might miss out on a photo opportunity, so they wait until the last person has taken their photo. It's really nice. When we went, the amusement park was free, and we adults went on several rides, which was thrilling. The staff inside said that they would start charging later, so it's best to take a screenshot of the performance times. Some of the performances are on outdoor stages, while the sea lion and bear shows are in a small theater, so pay attention to the schedule! There is a play and rest area for children next to each type of animal, where adults can also rest. The attitude of the park staff is also very good. Not arrogant at all, all smiling. Of course, we shouldn't be arrogant either. Otherwise, no one will treat you well. When you're out having fun, it's all about celebration. Everyone should be happy. The parking lot at the park is large; we played for over four hours and only paid 5 yuan, which is quite nice. After getting tired, we enjoyed some 'Qiqihar Barbecue' which was fresh and delicious 😋. We ordered the hand-cut barbecue. It was very nice. Just go for it, buddy. Qiqihar also has a nice hot spring ♨, but we didn't have time to visit it. We'll definitely make up for it next time.
