4.3/5 · 37 review
Highlights:
The Bridge of Time is about 100 meters long and is a pedestrian bridge that connects the entertainment center and the Valley of the Waves. The Bridge of Time simulates the Entrance Bridge of the Lost City, with a mountain at one end, lions, elephants, monkeys and other images carved out of the rock wall, and two city gates at the other end, which are broken under the power of the earthquake and the erosion of time. unbearable. The six pairs of elephants on both sides of the bridge are solemn, emphasizing the African characteristics. Every hour, the bridge of time is filled with smoke, and the huge roar is accompanied by waves of tremors, as if the earthquake broke out again.

Highlights:
The Valley of the Waves is the most important theme park in the Lost City. It can be reached from the entertainment center through the Bridge of Time, or from the Palace Hotel down the steps through the Roman Theater. At the heart of Wave Valley is the 6,500-square-meter wavepool, which is surrounded by palm trees, sand, grass-roofed pavilions and loungers to create a tropical seaside setting. The hydraulic wave-making system can create a 1.8-meter-high wave in an average of 90 seconds, and can also create a wonderful diamond pattern on the water surface when there is no wave. If just sunbathing and surfing aren't exciting enough, you can also try the water slides. There are five water slides in the water park, of which the more thrilling is the Temple of Courage. The slide is 70 meters long, and the 17-meter pipe is almost perpendicular to the ground. The more leisurely project is the Lazy River, where tourists can sit on the lifebuoy and float down the river, sometimes drifting across small bridges, sometimes diving underground, and can enter the folk village for a rest at any time.
