Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Surrounding Tour—Moganshan Senbo Resort Room Selection and Travel Tips
Senbo is really a signature resort for family vacations. Hulk was 2 years old when he stayed in a lakeside two-bedroom villa with his aunt and cousin.
1. Room Types
1⃣️ Wowlee Country: Not in the main area, but in the adjacent area, which is not far. You can walk or take the shuttle bus. It's designed with children in mind, including slides, and it's one of the more affordable room types, but reportedly the soundproofing is slightly lacking.
2⃣️ Main Building Rooms: Most convenient for playing, with Water World, Fantasy Island, etc., all located in the main building. You can rent a car or take the shuttle bus downstairs. The downside is that the rooms lack distinctive features.
3⃣️ Cabins: Divided into standard and lake view. There are many such cabins in Senbo. Some have no particular view, just cabins, but there are different types such as single or double bedroom suites, etc. Some are by the lake. There are many cabins, some close to and some far from the main building area.
4⃣️ Villas: Lakeside villas, mountain view villas, glass villas. Lakeside is the closest to the main building, accessible by walking or shuttle bus, next to the lake, where you can see swans🦢. Mountain view villas are on the mountain, less convenient to reach, requiring a golf cart, but with good scenery and a choice of different numbers of rooms, usually 3-4-5 rooms.
5⃣️ Popular Treehouses: The most eye-catching room type in the resort, so cute! You climb stairs to get up and slide down, but obviously, it's not convenient for transporting luggage.
2. Play Areas:
Recommended must-visit:
1⃣️ Water World (Charged): One of Senbo's signature attractions. It's large inside, with a constant temperature swimming pool, various heights of water slides, shallow pools for children, deep pools, a surfing area, etc., and there's also a snack bar.
2⃣️ Fantasy Island (Charged): A children's paradise with trampolines, climbing areas, go-karting, slides, playhouses, building blocks, etc. Basically, everything a family fun park has, this place has too.
Other options:
1. Petting Zoo (Charged + Free)
Hulk, being young, is quite interested in feeding small animals. The place is small, not many animals, but it's quite okay for kids to play.
2. Flora Garden
Feels a bit like a tropical rainforest, with plants, parrots, suspension bridges, etc. Hulk enjoys running on the suspension bridge and isn't much interested in the rest.
3. Number One Player
Arcade area, similar to external game arcades, coin-operated, suitable for older children or adults.
4. Other outdoor activities Hulk can't participate in:
Donut slides, kayaking, shooting, rock climbing, high-altitude adventure, bungee jumping, etc.
The resort also has bicycles, both electric and pedal-powered, which are great for taking a leisurely ride around the large park with children.
3. Dining:
1. The hotel's Rainforest Restaurant (buffet dinner and breakfast dining area) has a wide variety of food but the taste and ingredients score about 70 points, barely passable. However, the dedicated baby tableware and meal selection area are very thoughtful, with custard porridge, pasta, etc.
2. Chinese Restaurant, an à la carte restaurant, tastes better than expected
3. Cloud Top Restaurant: Located on the mountain, mainly serving Western cuisine in a set menu style
Disadvantages:
1. Very crowded during holidays, which greatly diminishes the experience
2. Many details of the resort's facilities and hygiene are not very good
