Nanjing's 'Little Jiuzhaigou' lives up to its name (with nanny-level strategy guide)
Zhenzhu Spring is known as Nanjing's 'Little Jiuzhaigou', and after visiting, I found that it indeed lives up to its reputation. The water of Zhenzhu Spring is crystal clear, and countless tiny bubbles continuously emerge from the bottom, which is both magical and beautiful! Zhenzhu Spring not only has natural scenery but also a wildlife park, play slides, and cable cars, making it a great destination for family trips.
🎫 A single ticket to Zhenzhu Spring is 40 yuan, the wildlife park is 60 yuan, and there is a year-round discounted price of 59.9 yuan for a combined ticket. If you have an annual park pass, you can enter both Zhenzhu Spring and the wildlife park for free. The Great Wall requires a separate ticket, which is 25 yuan.
🅿️ The West Gate parking lot is located opposite the Zhenzhu Spring Tourist Service Center, and the parking fee is 10 yuan per time.
🥯 For dining, you can go straight to a small restaurant after entering from the West Gate, where you can get a satisfying meal for about 30 yuan per person. There are also snack and instant noodle vendors near the camping area and cable car, with instant noodles priced at 10-12 yuan per box, hot water provided.
🚏 Recommended family trip route: Zhenzhu Spring West Gate ➡️ One Spring Three Views (you can bring your own net to catch shrimps here) ➡️ Zhenzhu Spring Source ➡️ Slide (not recommended, very short) ➡️ Cable Car ➡️ Great Wall (return trip after visiting the cable car) ➡️ Wildlife Park ➡️ Jing Shan Lake Bamboo Raft
✅ Must-visit spots:
🌈 Zhenzhu Spring Source
The origin of the 'Little Jiuzhaigou' title in Nanjing, the spring water is especially clear, and many people clap their hands beside it, as it is said that clapping can promote bubbles from the bottom of the spring.
🌈 Cable Car
If you plan to take the cable car round trip, remember to buy a round-trip ticket at the beginning, which is 80 yuan, because a one-way downhill ticket is 70 yuan per person. The cable car ride is quite long, and the scenery will be even more beautiful when the weather gets a bit hotter.
🌈 Great Wall
It is not recommended for young children to climb, as it is quite tiring with all the steps, and strollers cannot be used. Better to wait until they grow up and visit the Great Wall in Beijing!
🌈 Wildlife Park
Those who like tigers must go see it! I saw at least twenty tigers that day, with the big tigers being outdoors and the small tigers in the zoo cages. At noon, the small tigers all huddled together to sleep, which was too cute. In addition to tigers and lions, there are also black bears, alpacas, slender-tailed lemurs, horses, sheep, turkeys, etc., and you can buy food on-site to feed them.
The zoo also has a children's play area with a sandpit and slide, as well as a net trampoline, which the kids all love.
🌈 Bamboo Raft
You can try it out, it offers a wide view and beautiful scenery.
If you visit nanjing don’t miss this place. This is the best place i visit here.Nanjing great wall also situated inside this place.
33 years ago, the freshman class spring tour, the deepest memory is the bamboo row, we and the opposite bamboo rows to the song link. The place is revisited, the scenery is still the same, but I am already more than half a hundred people. I feel that the scenic spot is much larger, especially the safari park inside, which is very interesting and many varieties that I don’t know.
I entered the park at 12 noon. I ate and drank a lot. The spring water was full of small fish frying for children. The small zoo was a bit afraid of the high ropeway. The Great Wall was too tired to climb. The non-legacy performance had Miao Village dance. There were iron flowers and bonfires at night, but it started after 7:30. It was a bit too late and it was cold.
