Hangzhou parent-child travel guide

Hangzhou is a characteristic city full of artistic sentiments. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "there are Suzhou and Hangzhou above, and Hangzhou below". The beauty of Hangzhou is destined to fascinate people. Everyone hopes to take their children to Hangzhou to have a good experience, not only to learn knowledge, but also to get a good viewing experience. Let’s introduce it in detail below.

Itinerary

Day 1: Shanghai - Hangzhou Check into the First World Hotel Hangzhou Paradise - Yunman Hot Spring in the evening.

The next day: Opening Ceremony of Hangzhou Paradise - Rotten Apple Paradise Shanghai

Live in Tinker Bell’s Tropical Jungle

I have heard about the First World Hotel for a long time, But I always regret missing it. When I was still working in an office, I missed the opportunity to build the first world hotel. After returning, my colleagues praised the hotel full of praises, which made me even more regretful. This trip to Hangzhou with Suyi finally made it possible to realize my long-cherished wish to see the real world.

Before going there, I had some doubts about what kind of hotel could be so confident and dare to call itself a first-world hotel, or a big hotel. After arriving at the hotel, I found that I had walked a long way from east to west of the hotel, and finally understood why the hotel dared to claim to be number one. Big, really the first impression of a first world hotel. With such an open space, it is no wonder that it has become the first choice hotel for nearby team building and large-scale conferences.

So, what are the aspects of this hotel that advertises itself as a parent-child hotel? In fact, when we arrived at the lobby, we felt baby-friendly from the hotel's software and hardware before check-in. Every staff member who sees us with our children will take the initiative to stop and say hello to the baby. If the baby falls, they will rush to help immediately, even faster than us parents.

In addition to its parent-child attributes, the hotel's layout makes people feel like they are in the tropical jungle of Southeast Asia, and the resort atmosphere is suddenly acquired. My favorite part is the hotel atrium, decorated like a tropical botanical garden. The central open space can not only host weddings and banquets, but is also a great place for children to play and take photos.

Since the hotel occupies a vast area and the hotel is worried that guests will not be able to find their rooms, smart robots will lead guests to their rooms. Don't underestimate this robot, it is very popular with children. Suyi circled it around and around, happy to have met this new friend. It seems that the care of children in a parent-child hotel starts before check-in.

There is a special area in the parent-child room, which is decorated with this childlike and dreamy scene, right at the back. This time we stayed in a Tinker Bell themed room.

The guest room has a small wooden horse, a children's sofa, and a pink polka dot tent, which is full of girls' hearts. There are also baskets of building block toys in the tent. Before I even finished taking photos, the kids couldn't help but start playing on their own. It's so sweet that kids can have fun passing the time even when the adults are resting in their rooms.

The floor mats in the room, the welcome blackboard, and even the small furnishings on the desk are all cute tinkered bells. Presumably the hotel really put a lot of thought into designing this room. Searching these surrounding areas takes a long time.

Although the main style of the guest room is European retro, it does not prevent it from being perfectly integrated with Tinker Bell’s parent-child theme. The bathroom has a shower room, a large bathtub, a baby tub, and bath toys designed to please your child. Although it is no longer uncommon for all five-star hotels to have children's toothbrushes, slippers, and bathrobes, children's toilets, toilet seats, and kick stools are very attractive. If the baby's toilet problem can be solved, parents can save money. Families with babies know this.

Although I have stayed in many family hotels, very few can do this.

The toiletries are also Tinkerbell!

A dirty clothes basket, kicking stool, and children's toilet are neatly placed under the sink. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, this kind of intention makes people feel that family hotels are never just talk.

The housekeeping department will also give you Tremella and Wolfberry soup in the evening. Drink a bowl before going to bed to warm your body. I believe I can have a dream as good as the blessings handwritten on the leaves.

In addition to these hardware facilities and software services, the hotel also strives to create a relaxed and childlike atmosphere in terms of business philosophy. Every morning at 9:30, after breakfast, I take my baby to watch the singing and dancing parade of cartoon characters. Costumed actors came to guests, singing and dancing as if every day in the First World was worth celebrating.

Bao Shiyu watched quietly from the beginning, and finally joined the grand celebration team with his actress sister. The old mother is deeply pleased because she has just turned three and is always making progress and surprising us. I remember when I went to Haichang Ocean World at the end of last year, I encountered a float parade. At that time, she did not dare to wave and high-five the parade performers. After only a few months, she was able to dance hand in hand with a strange aunt. She enjoyed it, which strengthened our determination to take her out to see the world more often.

There is also a small children's playground in the hotel, although most people staying here will choose the two nearby playgrounds to check in. But for younger babies, there is a children's playground in the hotel, which allows them to play wildly and is also a good helper for discharge. The children's playground is opposite the gym, which is great for adults and children to exercise together.

South of the West Lake, there is a secret paradise in Hangzhou.

Hangzhou Paradise First World Hotel, Hangzhou Paradise, Hangzhou Rotten Apple Paradise, and Lang Lang Water Park are all together. The circular passage of the First World Hotel leads directly to the ticket office, which can be said to be very convenient.

There will be a special opening show at Hangzhou Paradise at 10 a.m. Although the entire performance is not long, it also includes magic, singing and dancing, and even stunts. I guess Su Yi has never seen such a happy scene. I believe that after watching the show, you will be full of expectations for the paradise inside.

The park is divided into three parts: Hangzhou Paradise, Huxiang Songcheng, and Langlang Langshui Park. Due to the season, the water park is not open yet. I hear it's fun. Hangzhou Paradise is the largest amusement park in Hangzhou and is also very famous in the surrounding areas of Zhejiang, including myself. I have wanted to experience it for a long time, but I have never had the chance to come here specifically. This time, it was Su Yi’s blessing.

When we first entered the park, we were in Songcheng District of Xianghu Lake. Anyone who has been to Songcheng in Hangzhou should be familiar with this real-life version of the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" themed neighborhood! Because I had taken Amelia Su to the famous Songcheng City before, I passed by this area quickly and wanted to spend more time on the park's recreational facilities.

Finally arrived at the main area of ??Hangzhou Paradise! It is also divided into three areas: Mayan Tribe, Lost Jungle, and Adventure Island. Some large-scale exciting rides are in the Mayan tribe section, such as the hanging roller coaster, Hammer of the Rain God, Hand of the Wind God, etc. Suitable for young people seeking excitement. Let's take the baby by and take a look at the excitement. Of course, the baby is also an excuse. I just don’t have the courage to go up without the baby. Yes, at the critical moment, you have to admit cowardice.

The suspended roller coaster flies through the Mayan jungle 2000 years ago, accompanied by a huge rumble. When I looked up, I saw it was roaring by.

There is a pedestrian street next to the Mayan tribe called the Mayan Market. Bring your own canopy. Whether it’s windy or rainy, visiting the park is a good place to rest and have a meal. There are various shops on both sides of the pedestrian street. Whether it's Internet celebrity milk tea, Internet celebrity French fries, tea restaurants, or pottery, hand-painted, and experiential venues, Maya Market has it all. Not only can you chase excitement, but you can also enjoy the quiet years from the amusement park.

At the end of the Mayan market, there is also a retro green leather carriage, which is the locomotive restaurant in the park. If you plan to spend a whole day, consider coming here to eat and take photos. Artistic young people like this training element.

Leaving the Mayan tribe, then the lost jungle area. Compared to the Mayan tribes, this place is more suitable for all ages. There are many programs for young children that can also be played by preschoolers. Although some projects are not open on rainy days, it does not prevent us from playing projects that can be played by children with a height of one meter. Su Yi was enthusiastic all the way and didn't feel sleepy even after a good sleep.

The most attractive thing about this area is a large ceiling. There are many self-funded entertainment projects under the ceiling, such as balloon shooting, fishing, archery, etc. Which child likes to play. In the middle of the ceiling is a skydiving tower, where you can admire Hangzhou Paradise from a height, but it was not open that day.

The older you get, the more independent you become. Three-year-old Su Yi can already queue independently, sit in the carriage by herself, and wait for the staff to fasten her seat belt. She played by herself, refused our company, and said thank you to the uncle and aunt who helped her get off the bus when she left. As for us, just watch.

The girl had her heart set on a double-decker carousel, but the weather was closed.

This kind of circle game may be despised by adults, but it is a favorite of children and they never tire of it. Play it at least twice.

The arrogant fashionista, although I don’t know where the fashion is, maybe the color scheme is very eye-catching? The jumping machine at the back, the pirate ship, and the three major amusement parks are all gathered here.

Flying at high altitude, the upgraded jungle swing has a much higher height. I would like to ask my friends who have poor balance skills and are afraid of heights, are you afraid of loving me?

Opposite Adventure Island is the Water Street District, where a row of colorful European-style huts complement the rippling artificial lake. In addition to playing, Hangzhou Paradise is also highly ornamental.

Although the largest double-decker carousel was not open, at least one single-decker carousel was open. I quickly accompanied Su Yi on three rounds. Ask me if I feel dizzy? Fortunately, I have a good balance.

In Hangzhou Paradise, Su Yi has been in a state of full of chicken blood as shown in the picture above, constantly giving advice -. I want to play this and I want to play that. Feel the fatal attraction of amusement parks for children.

If you think this cute and funny dinosaur sculpture is just for everyone to see and take pictures, you are wrong. When you pass by it, it will surprise you with water like a prank. Although the amount of water is not large, it still scares passers-by and turns around to look for the source of water. After discovering the instigator, most of them would look at each other and kill each other. Should there be a camera nearby to record the expression of the person being deceived?

In addition to entertainment facilities, a newly opened cute pet park has opened in Hangzhou Paradise. Although the scale and animal types are definitely not as good as those of a regular zoo, the birds, hamsters, and goldfish here allow children to interact and feed them at close range. It is especially suitable for families to take their children to see it. The zoo may not have such an opportunity.

The scene where the hamsters hugged each other for warmth really made my face bleed.

The bottle is filled with fish food and is attached to a long pole so that the children can catch it and feed it to the goldfish in the pool.

Bao Shiyu, a child who experienced feeding fish for the first time, had such a serious expression.

This scary circus boat is a new project launched by Hangzhou Paradise. The immersive performance coupled with the ups and downs of the suspense plot is particularly interactive. As for the rest, there won’t be many spoilers here. Just look at the queue below to see how popular it is.

MapleStory’s projects focus more on experience. For example, escape rooms, VR experience halls, water tricycles, etc. Although Hangzhou Paradise is not a big city, it has many types of comprehensive entertainment activities and facilities for tourists to rest and eat. Therefore, many people rush to watch the opening show and then enter the park until the moment it closes.

Walk in the hot springs and feel the warmth of winter in the ethereal fairy air.

Yunman Hot Spring, famous in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, is actually located in the First World Hotel. There is a direct entrance next to the reception desk. After a crazy day in the park, it is the most appropriate way to come back and soak in a hot spring to relieve fatigue.

We visited Yunnan once during the day and once at night. If you prefer to soak in hot springs in a clean environment, it is recommended that you come during the day. Because most of the people who come here are families with children, who usually have fun at the amusement park during the day, Unman Hot Spring is very popular at night.

Man Hot Spring is very sweet and open until 10 pm. After Suyi fell asleep at night, we couldn't wait to experience it. Walking into Yunman Hot Spring, it is an outdoor garden-style hot spring. It feels like walking into a tropical rain forest, with winding corridors and lush green plants. The nose breathes the fragrance of grass and trees, as well as the fragrance of the soup pool. The fairy spirit is steaming, the lanterns are hung high, and the Yunman Hot Spring at night is like a fairyland.

Man Hot Spring has more than 30 open-air hot spring pools. Because the peak season of winter hot springs has passed, some hot springs are now closed. Most of the soup pools here include soup pool, angelica pool, ginseng pool, mugwort pool, tangerine peel pool, polygonum multiflorum pool, etc. These all have different effects. There are also unique Yuanyang Soup Pool and Jiugongge Soup Pool. After entering the water, it feels like we are just lumps of meat churning in a hot pot, haha.

Although winter has passed, it is still very comfortable to soak in the hot springs. This healthy lifestyle requires you to be in a healthy state at all times. Fortunately, not everyone in the hot spring pool can take a group of hot spring photos, if you are interested. Each hot spring pool is separated by garden plants, so privacy is still possible, and one can enjoy the hot spring quietly.

This should be the shooting spot for Internet celebrities in Yunman Hot Spring. Many beauties love to take photos in this pool with the big moon behind them as the background. Especially at night, with the charm of the hot springs, it feels like going to the Guanghan Palace on the moon.

If it rains, there is an indoor hot spring bath, which is full of Japanese style and looks great. In addition, there is a soup pool suitable for children with colorful ocean balls floating on it. If I had known earlier, I would have brought Suyi to experience it.

The warm soup pool relaxes the body and mind, relieves fatigue, soaks in a sweat, and the fatigue after a day's walking disappears.

The magic and wonderful world in "Rotten Apple Paradise"

If Hangzhou Paradise is for adults, then the Rotten Apple Paradise opposite is a happy and magical world for children . You may have the same question as me: Why is a good children's playground called a rotten apple? In fact, this rotten apple is not another rotten apple. In fact, Rotten Apple is a cute anime character. She is a very nervous little girl, the protagonist of this paradise, and a warm-hearted person. She is not only cheerful, but also willing to help others. The word rotten in rotten apple does not mean ragged. In fact, it means brilliant, representing the innocent smile of a child.

Walking into Rotten Apple Paradise is like walking into a huge underwater paradise. The blue ocean element is clearly visible, and a cool breath blows on the face. The entire park is divided into three floors and 10 areas, each area has more than ten special games. It mainly consists of ten fantasy theme areas including Pirate Street, Four Seasons Garden, Jellyfish Square, Deep Sea Square, Fruit Tribe, Absurd Town, Love Story House, Magic Jungle, Candy Town, and Gold Coast.

Actually, the entrance to the gate is on the second floor of the park. Although there are inaccessible amusement facilities in the park, Su Yi, the child who saw the trampoline, couldn't wait to put on her slippers and jump in. If we hadn't reminded her repeatedly that there were a lot of fun things to do later, she really wouldn't have wanted to come out.

The second floor is called Happy World, which contains miniature amusement park projects, such as Ferris wheel, carousel, jellyfish car, pirate ship and so on. Mild amplitude, suitable for children. Children over 90cm tall can find something they like to play with. For Su Yi, everything in this strange and happy world is new and she wants to try everything. There are many equipments that adults can also play with them and find the joy of childhood here.

Bao Shiyu, who was particularly greedy for pirate ships in Hangtian Paradise yesterday, finally had a dream in Rotten Apple Paradise. The management of entertainment facilities in Rotten Apple Park is humane. If a baby becomes uncomfortable crying during the show, the staff will stop it immediately.

Even the snack bar is designed in the mouth of a giant shark, making paradise full of childlike fun.

Go through the stairs and walk from the second floor to the first floor. From the blue of the ocean to a magical world like The Wizard of Oz. The main recreational facilities are concentrated on the first floor.

There are thrilling jumping machines, adults and children love queuing up forever for crazy bumper cars, there is also a cute monkey school to watch happy stories between monkeys, magic kitchen, jungle showdown, and princess castle. There are more than 50 kinds of amusement projects on this floor, which is enough for children and older friends to play there for a day.

Although it is not high enough, I still play very seriously. Let me help you!

Bumpy rides are the first choice for parent-child families, but Su Yi’s height is still a little short of being able to ride.

This little train is a favorite among children and requires a team. Call it a low-end roller coaster. The car automatically turns along the 60-meter track and hovers on the rolling overpass track. When it is high and when it is low, you are chasing people, allowing your children to experience the feeling of climbing mountains and flying across time and space. It's exciting enough without any sense of panic.

Candy represents sweet and beautiful fantasy. Sharing candy is to pass joy and happiness to everyone around you. Candy Street has more than ten handicraft workshops with different themes. Here you can not only make bread, cakes, chocolate, gingerbread and other desserts, but also enjoy a full range of sweet experiences.

Fantastic little trains, dead trees, tree trunks, ghosts floating in the air, cow bones, big pumpkins, big tree holes, etc. Traveling through the jungle. Go on an adventure with your baby.

The third level is the Gold Coast. The main place is a restaurant. The design of the huge sunken ship on the seabed can be said to be unique and very spatial. It’s also good to have some snacks here when you’re tired. In addition, there are often wonderful live performances in places such as Rotten Apple Theater and Deep Sea Theater. You can pay attention to the announcement of attractions during specific time periods, and then go take a look.

Recommended food, the Taotie Kingdom of the First World

Lunch in the Banyan Tree Hall box of the First World Hotel. It is located in a corner of the atrium of the hotel. From the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the box, you can enjoy the delicious food and the thick greenery outside the window, which is particularly refreshing.

The restaurant will launch new dishes every once in a while, so you will never get bored no matter how many times you come. The delicacies we ate that day were all newly introduced Thai flavors. The spicy and sour food is very appetizing, and the dishes are small and fresh.

Of course, not all dishes are spicy, there are also mild ones, such as crispy mango chicken, pineapple seafood fried rice, Vietnamese jade rolls, etc. They are all thin, soft and suitable for children. Bao Shiyu especially liked the freshly squeezed pineapple juice here. He was very satisfied with a whole big pineapple in his hand.

Steamed fish with lime is one of my favorite dishes in Thailand. The golden mandarin fish used here. The sauce is sweet and sour, and the fish is delicious. More delicious than traditional braised fish.

Thai curry crab, red curry beef, green curry seasonal vegetarian chicken, tom yum soup, all the classic Thai dishes you want are here. Moreover, the ingredients are carefully selected, the taste is authentic, and a lot of thought has been put into the presentation of the plates.

Dinner, buffet at the hotel’s Taixiangge restaurant. I have mentioned in my travel notes more than once that a buffet is the most worry-free and reasonable way to eat when traveling with a baby. Thanks to the wide selection of dishes, children can take in comprehensive and balanced nutrition during their trip.

The restaurant was also decorated in a tropical jungle style. Before we officially ate, we smelled the spicy and leisurely atmosphere unique to Southeast Asia.

Regarding the hotel’s seafood buffet, there is a very popular and practical rule, which is to look at the type of seafood. The hotel's seafood buffet made us secretly happy, including salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi, scallops, sea rainbow, fresh prawns, etc. You can also grill shrimp steaks at the open stall, so foodies can open their bellies and have a good time A feast for the tongue.

Even in the buffet, there is no shortage of Thai food. Although I have eaten at hotel buffets, I rarely eat Thai food.

A variety of Japanese sushi are neatly placed in front of Japanese wine barrels. Whether you eat it or not, it is pleasing to the eye.

The restaurant also provides baby seats and baby tableware. Even the corners of our dining table are wrapped in the hotel's soft and elastic protective material to protect the baby from accidental injuries. Details appreciated! Bao Shiyu naturally ate very happily, because her aunt was wearing beautiful national costumes, eating, dancing and watching the performance, which has always been her favorite. I estimate that this meal will take several months.

Practical Strategies

The places we went to this time were all in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, which is only separated from the center of Hangzhou by the Qiantang River. The advantage is that there are not so many people, but because there is a subway around, it is convenient to go anywhere. When we arrived at our hotel in Shanghai, we chose to drive. There is a large parking lot in front of the hotel, and parking is free for guests. It is very, very close to Hangzhou Paradise and Rotten Apple Paradise, just a few hundred meters walk away.

Food:

This time, we all ate at the hotel. If we are hungry in the scenic area, we will buy some drinks and snacks. Both Hangzhou Land and Rotten Apple Land have their own restaurants and concession stands. Please refer to the text of the travelogue for details. In short, no matter which attraction in Hangzhou, convenient living facilities are complete, you will not have to worry about food and drink.

As soon as we entered the room, we were immediately struck by the spacious space of 40 square meters and the bright and sufficient lighting design. Then go on a treasure hunt with Suyi and explore the Tinkerbell elements in the house. Although Suyi’s current favorite anime character is Piggy, Tinker Bell was our childhood favorite when we were little. I didn't want to miss every comic book and comic, and I never thought I'd one day be able to stay in Tinkerbell's themed room.
