DIY scallion pancakes are so much fun! From kneading the dough and adding scallions to frying the pancake, every step is filled with joy, and both adults and children can participate. The teacher provides friendly instruction in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The finished product is fragrant and delicious – highly recommended! You can also experience pulling scallions, which is really worthwhile.

The instructor teaches step by step, it's not difficult at all, and children can quickly pick it up. I suggest thinking about what you want to draw beforehand so you don't spend too much time drafting. Overall, the atmosphere is great and relaxing. I look forward to receiving the finished product in three months.

It's really cool to DIY scallion pancakes, kneading the dough yourself and adding Yilan Sanxing green onions. Making scallion pancakes for the first time is truly fulfilling. There are also small animals to visit; they provide feed for us to give them. The park has many photogenic spots, and the scenery is beautiful. There are quite a few animals inside.

We were late but the instructor was kind enough to let us to take the class. We had fun making mochi but to me, the fillings were very sweet, I guess it is how dessert supposed to be.

This potted plant I made cost $1280 (including the plants). The figurines are extra, and you can add more at an additional cost for any difference. The owner seems like she used to be a very "socialized" person; her words and actions show great attention to detail, making you feel like she's someone special. I originally did a terrible job, not knowing that succulents could be arranged so densely. After the owner's skillful transformation, it became amazing! I'm very grateful to her. Buying the experience through Klook, combined with LINE shopping, is a great deal, and the price is actually the same as on-site (you have to pay a $50 entrance fee on-site, which can be used towards the DIY project or plants, but it's basically the same if you make a purchase). It's definitely worth buying because I learned a lot about succulents in this class, and the entire layout process was very therapeutic. Although only the cement part of the pot was made by the owner, the rest seems to be imported from mainland China. It's a pity I didn't see what I saw in other reviews, but it depends on your luck. At least I got the plant I really wanted, so I'm very happy.

A paradise for carnivorous plant lovers, you can see all kinds of pitcher plants, Venus flytraps, sundews and pitchers. One ticket can be used to buy 100 yuan of plants or a drink, but there is no experience activity. In the end, I brought a total of ten pots home, and the ticket cost about 3,000 yuan, which should be much more cost-effective than buying them separately at the flower market.

I originally thought this DIY cooking experience would be challenging, but to my surprise, the store had already prepared the dough for us 😧. All we had to do was poke, knead, flatten, and use the tools to press out our desired shapes, and finally sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese powder 🧀. There's no limit to the amount – just fill up the whole sheet! The entire process only took about 10 minutes 🤣. I recommend this to anyone who wants to try something new but doesn't want to put in too much effort 😍.
