A European Journey Across Time and Space
Anji·Huzhou In Anji, Huzhou, Zhejiang, a wonderful journey is quietly beginning. There is no need to travel a long distance to faraway Europe. We can just take a sightseeing train to start a spontaneous European ranch sightseeing tour.
This is not an ordinary trip, but an in-depth experience tour that perfectly combines European style and beautiful scenery with a variety of cute animals. It is a short and wonderful trip that allows you to appreciate the unique charm of a foreign country without leaving the country. When we boarded this sightseeing train and started our 1.5-hour circular journey, it was as if we had instantly stepped into another world.
The vintage steam trains named after different European countries or cities seem to have the magic to travel through time and space. It slowly drove into the time tunnel, and when it drove out again, we were already "in" the ancient land of Europe. The Dutch windmills turn slowly in the breeze, as if telling stories of the past; in the English rose garden, roses of various colors compete with each other in beauty, and the rich fragrance of the flowers fills the air, intoxicating people.
On the way forward, surprises come one after another. We came across British Red Bull unexpectedly; had a close encounter with Australian kangaroos; and saw Damascus sheep, whose unique appearance made people want to take a few more glances. Not only that, the train will also take us to explore the mysterious world of dinosaurs. Those huge dinosaur models are lifelike, as if taking us back to ancient times.
The variety of animal species on European ranches is enough to dazzle one. The cute alpacas always open their innocent big eyes and look at the tourists curiously; the elegant swans swim lightly on the lake with graceful postures; the kangaroos, who are close to humans, will actively approach tourists, hoping to get some food, and they are deeply loved by children. During the journey, the sightseeing train not only passes through stations named after several European countries such as France, Britain, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, but also makes brief stops at three stations on the ranch. At this time, tourists can get off the bus, interact with the animals at close range, experience the fun of feeding the animals themselves, and feel the animals' gentleness and closeness.
The scenery along the way is equally beautiful. The beautiful lake is like a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky and the surrounding green mountains and trees. When the breeze blows, ripples appear on the lake surface, making it sparkle. The mountain scenery is rolling and the green grassland is spread out like a huge velvet carpet. We would inadvertently come into contact with models of dinosaurs, centipedes, etc. They would make realistic roars, as if they were demonstrating to us, but we would gradually move away from them as the train moved forward.
Take a sightseeing train to travel through European-style farms, pastures and scenic mountains and rivers, and interact with animals at close range. This unique experience is like a dreamlike time travel, leaving every visitor with indelible and beautiful memories.
