The location is spacious with parking available. It's perfect for first-timers! Don't worry about not catching anything; the staff are there to guide you on how to fish for shrimp. Just follow their instructions, and you'll be successful. Equipment: You don't need to prepare anything yourself; everything is well-prepared. They even provide shrimp crackers and drinks – so thoughtful! 😻 The staff will also teach you how to grill the shrimp and help monitor the grill. There's seating available on the second floor for dining.

To enter the ecological park, you need to pay an additional $30 ticket and $50 parking fee. For those riding water bikes, the person in the back seat must remember to take off their shoes or wear river trekking shoes because the pedals will touch the water. The coach is waiting on the shore. Riding is limited to the middle of the two bridges. It feels like riding a swan boat without a canopy. It is very hot. You can enjoy various trains passing by while riding. If you are with friends, it is fun to play bumper boats on the water or police catch thieves. The life jacket has a small zippered pocket to protect the wallet, and a small bottle of mineral water is given as a gift, which is very considerate. The electric boat takes about 20 minutes to travel around the river. The mysterious cave will only pass by when the boat passes by, and will not stop to take pictures. You can also walk there without taking the boat. The most worthwhile thing in the whole trip is the turtle ice, which is really delicious, with real taste, and each taste is delicious. Love fruit and sour plum are very thirst-quenching. The red bean turtle ice has a lot of ingredients so it melts quickly, and the sesame is very rich

Equipment: Requires the use of your legs to move; those who prefer not to exert themselves should bring a motorized companion. Experience: The entire experience lasts approximately 1.5 hours. There is no shade, so bring adequate sun protection, or you'll be stuck wearing sleeves and socks… Location: It is recommended to leave early to avoid difficulty finding the meeting point. Safety: Very good. Life jackets are provided. It's recommended not to bring bags; just bring your wallet and phone. Instructor: Very funny, an excellent photographer, and very attentive to safety.

Equipment: 10 points. All necessary equipment is available. Safety: 9 points. The waves were about 1.5 meters high that day, which was a bit exciting for newcomers, but the coach was watching them the whole time. Coach: 10 points. The coach is humorous (it feels great to breathe fresh air on the sea when you are very tired). He is very professional. In addition, in many sup itineraries, one coach may need to take care of 7.8 people or even more, but here you don’t have to worry about being a newcomer and falling behind. The coach will be there to help you at any time. Experience: 10 points. I am very happy. Even after the course, if I want to continue playing, the coach is also very enthusiastic to provide equipment. He has trusted customers as friends (but I need to send the equipment back to the coach’s home after the course).
