The Yan Zhi River No. Amusement Park is a haven for children. It is one of the largest unpowered ancient ship amusement facilities in the country, featuring a ship body that is approximately 42.5 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 11 meters high. This massive structure offers over 7500 square meters of entertainment space, capable of accommodating hundreds of people at the same time. The ship body is equipped with more than twenty entertainment projects, including rope nets, slides, climbing nets, climbing ropes, and rock climbing. The bow of the ship houses a maze puzzle group, the body serves as a climbing challenge area, and the stern is a tower challenge area. The park combines the shape of a Ming Dynasty ship to create a focal point for science education interaction and check-in. It primarily targets play for children over 5 years old and teenagers, allowing them to understand the structure and use of the ship body through games. This interactive experience cultivates children’s courage and intelligence, stimulates their interest in exploration, and exercises their logical reasoning ability, insight, and sense of direction, blending education with entertainment.
