    "I feel worth going, mainly because I can clearly watch the Datengxia Water Conservancy Project. Driving for a change, counterclockwise direction to more than 20km up and down, so the tram should be full of some insurance. The food inside is more expensive, 15 bowls of instant noodles, so you can bring food in, there are many little monkeys, interact with people, fun, and there are places to play in the water. The RV camp feels not open. In short, the online 50 yuan ticket is still relatively cheap. Can only play by car"

    "The joint ticket bought is still very cost-effective. The three scenic spots are all next to each other. Although they are not connected, they can't go far. The scenery is very interesting, the facilities are a bit old, and the water surface is slightly garbage that has not been cleaned up, which affects the perception."

    Highlights: Longting Park presents characteristic Kaifeng history and culture, consisting of three sections including Longting, Yangjiahu, and Panjiahu.

    "At the door, I was told that online booking needs to be booked one hour in advance, otherwise I have to wait an hour to enter 😂 So Shuiling refunded the online booking ticket, and bought the full price ticket at the ticket office. It is still good in the scenic spot. It is probably turned around. There are several performances. The actors are very hard. It's not easy to have such a hot day. Very good experience, I hope the scenic spot is getting better and better."
