Trip - China - Day 9 - Hengda Haishang Venis 恆大海威尼斯

Hi Blog,

Today we will be going to "Hengda Haishang Venis" (google map) which is near Sea Huang 黃海, as YY will be bringing her kids too. Thanks YY's brother-in-law driving us there.

Let's GO for a long ride again!

A cloud spotted! It has been awhile to see a cloud in China's sky.

Entrance of Hengda Haishang Venis 恆大海威尼斯

Like a theme park

Welcome to Hengda Haishang Venis 恆大海威尼斯!

After nearly 1hr ride, we were greeted by a totally different theme and named "Life of Venice". Haha 😂 Life of 'Very Nice'. It was like entering Universal Studio or Victoria-Era-style place with Greek Sculptures or Singapore term - High-class Condominium.

Looked at the Epic High-class entrance statues

Golden Pegasus - Grand!

YY's family and my mother, come and smile!

WOW! Big Building ahead!

beautiful flower ball and smile! Ladies!

Completely different feel like as if I visited a Euro country

As we arrived nearer to the central building, there were many well-dressed staff welcomed and invited us to step in to take a look 👀....

Look at the place... What a place to stay at

Here I tasted the "culture-crushed" for the first time, they don't queue! Because we were given free ticket to enter the beach zone but but... the scene was chaotic!

Eventually we gave up and just purchased the tickets to enter the beach area. I was so thrilled to step my foot onto a foreign beach...

I noticed there were many agents trying to sell the flats at Hengda Haishang Venis

Check out these young agents

Great Grant Building at the center of the place, facing the sea

I can smell the sea water from here

All well-covered staff

Ah....... SEA!

BEACH!

Big giant octopus structure

Let's float around! too bad everyone just hid under the shade.

Let's go and explore the beach

Weird water (or I will say this is a small pond)

Looked dirty water with some sea snails - kind of disgusting and dangerous to walk on

If you walked further down, away from the disgusting pond, this is Yellow River - dirty... :(

Check out this clean swimming pool - only restricted for Hotel guests (the rich)

But the structures at Hengda Haishang Venis do a great job on imitation.

If I showed you this picture, you will never believe it was taken in China.

Checked out the Greek sculptures. BTW I found merlions here too but I can't take it in time.

Everyone seemed like doing a short visit here... what a waste of time :(

Overall of this place is a cool and ideal place to stay at, like as if living like a royalty; they are trying to make it into a "small country" with all facilities and look high class like Venice (Very-Nice), but somehow the negative behaviors of the people need some tuning; it is not about imitating the place to live 'Venicly' but it does matter in long term.

Now we are heading back to pack up our luggage and tonight will be on our own, click here to Day 9 - Finding A Place to Stay.
