On September 3, 2020, the train left for Dezhou at 3:23 pm, arrived in Dezhou around 4:30, walked 300 meters out of the station, and checked into the booked Motel Hotel, with a room of 107 yuan. Put down your luggage and go straight east, until you reach the Mingyue Lake in the center of Dezhou. It’s not time to eat, so let’s take a look.
Dezhou Mingyue Lake is located in the center of Dezhou City and is an open lakeside park. It covers a total area of 28 hectares and is divided into East Lake, Middle Lake, West Lake and South Lake areas. There are leisure and tourist attractions with unique Texas characteristics such as Mingyue Bridge, Diecui Mountain, Boat Station, Talang Terrace, Zhichun Pavilion, and Plum Garden. Mingyue Lake Scenic Spot is one of the best scenic spots in the old city of Dezhou, of which Mingyue Lake and Diecui Mountain are its main components.
As it was going to be late, we just crossed along the center line of the lake, so it was just a glimpse. The moment the sun sets on the tall buildings, the colors are very gorgeous when viewed from the lake. As night fell, we walked back to the hotel, having dinner on the way.
At 7 o'clock in the morning on September 4, 2020, I had a buffet breakfast at the hotel and walked to the Lubei Bus Station next to the train station. The day's itinerary was to go to the Acrobatics World in Wuqiao. Why go to Wuqiao from Dezhou, because Dezhou is very close to Wuqiao, and there are many cars. Take a bus at the train station, every 20 minutes, and the fare is 8 yuan per person. It is much more convenient than Cangzhou, although Wuqiao belongs to Cangzhou.
When I arrived at the bus station, I didn't expect the service at the station to be very poor, which made my wife angry. When we arrived, we saw a car from Wuqiao. I asked my wife to get on the car, and I went to buy a ticket. When I bought the ticket, the station inspector stopped my wife from getting on the car. I had to register my ID card. This is understandable. After the registration is completed , The station staff actually said that you can't get on this train. The reason is that the driver has gone through the formalities and the passengers have been locked, so you can't get on any more passengers. Sure enough, when we hurriedly signaled to get in the car, the car ignored our shouts and left straight away, which made us very angry. We have gone through so many stations, as long as the car does not leave, you can get on people, and you can buy tickets when you get on the bus. If you really need to buy a ticket at the window, the driver will wait for you. There is such a rule in this station, it is not convenient, but misleading, if there are passengers who are in a hurry, how annoyed he should be. Fortunately, it didn't take long, and another class came. Speaking of this incident, the driver of this class was also very puzzled. He said that he can let you get on the bus, and the driver can just report to the shift.
Originally, people could leave at 8 o'clock, but they set off by car at 8:20 and arrived at Wuqiao Railway Station at 9 o'clock. The local people said that sometimes the bus arrives at the bus station, and the acrobatic world is just across the bus station, but most of them go to the end of the railway station. The end point is the train station. We got off the car, played an electric tricycle, 5 yuan, and went to the gate of the acrobatic world.
Wuqiao is a world-famous hometown of acrobatics. "Everyone can do acrobatics in Wuqiao, from ninety-nine to just walking." The long history of acrobatics, profound cultural heritage, broad mass base, and unique acrobatic folk customs constitute the valuable resources of Wuqiao tourism.
On November 26, 1993, the Wuqiao Acrobatics World Scenic Spot with an investment of 200 million yuan was completed and opened. Covering an area of 360,000 square meters, the scenic spot integrates entertainment, performance, participation, communication and other functions into one, and surprises every step of the way. The extensive and profound acrobatic culture and ancient Chinese folk art are vividly displayed.
Since the opening of the scenic spot for more than 20 years, the scale of the scenic spot, the source market, and the comprehensive operating income have been continuously expanded and improved; Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong and along the Beijing-Shanghai line are the folk-custom tourist attractions that are the main sources of tourists.
The pearl of the canal, the charming Wuqiao. The brand management strategy of Peishu in the scenic area has created "Canal Family", "September Temple Fair Street View", "Acrobatics Small Courtyard", "Dafudi", "National Art Troupe", "Kaicheng Ceremony", "Baixi Grand Parade" in recent years ", "The Eight Monsters of the New Rivers and Lakes" and other tourism brands are favored by tourists at home and abroad, and have repeatedly appeared in top national media such as CCTV and Xinhua News Agency; in 2016, a large-scale acrobatic scene supported by the National Art Fund The play "Jianghu" has become a highlight and golden signboard of Wuqiao's global tourism and the Grand Canal Cultural Belt.
In 2000, Wuqiao Acrobatics World Scenic Spot took the lead in entering the ranks of the country's "first batch of 4A-level tourist attractions", and was successively rated as "National Civilized Unit", "National Cultural Export Key Enterprise", "Hebei Provincial Cultural Industry Demonstration Base", " People's Favorite Top Ten Charming Scenic Spots in Hebei", "Top Ten Cultural Industries in Hebei Province", "Top 30 Hebei Cultural Industry Revitalization", "Hebei Cultural Industry Five One Project Award", "Top Ten Integrity Tourism Scenic Spots in Hebei Province", Honorary titles such as "Hebei Famous Brand", "Hebei Famous Service Brand" and "Top Ten Cultural Industry Clusters in Hebei Province" are recognized by the industry as the largest folk tourist attraction in China and the only acrobatic theme park in the world.
The acrobatics world is now 120 yuan for adults, and the tickets include Jianghu Cultural City, Magic Psychedelic Palace, Acrobatics Museum, Circus Amusement Park, Funny Zoo and other scenic spots. In addition, there are Jianghu Grand Theater, Guishouju, Baiju Theater, and Red Peony Stage, which are subject to additional charges.
We only went to the Jianghu Cultural City and Acrobatics Museum due to time constraints, and did not watch theater performances. There are performances by some acrobatic troupes in Jianghu Cultural City, which can also be watched. In front of the ghost hand house, my wife saw the ghost hand actor and asked to take a photo with him, but was declined, which is understandable.
We entered the scenic spot at 9:10, finished the tour at 11:30, and left the scenic spot. Walk to the bus station, the bus station is newly built, the waiting room is very empty, no passenger can be seen, just wondering, a staff member came out, we asked if there is a bus to Texas, the answer is yes, just wait patiently, Get on the bus and buy a ticket. Sure enough, after an hour, the bus arrived. Suddenly, more than a dozen passengers came in from outside the waiting room door. They lined up and entered the ticket gate. We also got on the bus. I don't understand, don't you just get on the bus and buy a ticket? At this time, the driver asked us if we had bought tickets, which made us understand that these passengers should get on the train at the train station, and then they must go to the bus station to complete the formalities, and then go to Dezhou. This kind of strange procedure is generally not used to , so friends who come from Texas, please remember that when you come, you can stop at the train station, and you can wait at the bus station when you go back, and don’t go to the train station.
We arrived in Dezhou at 12:20. Instead of going to the bus station, we got off at Ginza Mall. First, it was very convenient to eat here. In addition, we could directly transfer to bus No. 6 and go to the Dezhou Museum to continue the next section of the tour.
