Take your kids to Yubei for a weekend of fun, food, and shopping!

I love taking my kids to Yubei on the weekends. There are many free parks and large shopping centers here. You can enjoy outdoor activities and delicious food, and the transportation is very convenient. It's a great place to take your kids for a day out. Start your morning at Chongqing Central Park. Take Metro Line 10 to Central Park Station. You can reach the park from any exit, but if you want to enter from the north gate, choose the corresponding exit. This is the largest open city center park in Chongqing, with a central square, a dynamic water feature, a sunny grass slope, a peninsula mirror lake, and other unique landscapes. Head to the central square first to admire the grandeur of the square and the surrounding greenery. Then, take a stroll along Festival Avenue and enjoy the beauty of symmetry. To the west of the avenue is a fitness-themed park, and to the east is a lawn where you can take a break and enjoy the scenery. Next, head to the children's play area, which is full of fun rides and a joyful atmosphere. Finally, visit the natural landscape area to admire the park's lakes, forests, and other natural beauty. You can also feed the ducks by the lake and enjoy a leisurely time. The park has free drinking water points and vending machines selling drinks and snacks. You can also bring your own food and water bottles for a relaxing picnic on the lawn. At noon, head to Chongqing Joy City. It's a short walk from Central Park. Chongqing Joy City is built around a 100-meter-high fantasy canyon, creating the "first ecological canyon shopping park in China." You can take a walk along the canyon trail and enjoy the unique canyon scenery. Watch the fountain show at the fountain square and feel the water's vitality. If you have kids, you can take them to the non-powered amusement park, the flower swing, the basketball court, and other rides and attractions to enjoy various entertainment activities. If you don't want to go to Joy City, you can also visit Yuelai Art Museum, which is popular with both adults and children. Take Light Rail Line 10 to Exit 2. The museum often holds various art exhibitions, including paintings, sculptures, photography, and other art forms, providing visitors with a rich artistic experience. It's a great place for art lovers to visit. Here, you can slow down and enjoy various artworks, feel the charm of art, and improve your artistic literacy. In the evening, you can go shopping and eat at The Ring Shopping Park. This is the first mall with an indoor forest theme. The three-dimensional forest city design makes you feel like you're on Pandora. You can shop for your favorite items in the mall or enjoy the surrounding cityscape from the mall's observation deck and feel the charm of Chongqing.
