During a recent visit to the children’s paradise in Fengshan Village, Longjin Town, Anyi County, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, we found a vibrant atmosphere filled with joy and laughter. Kids were having a blast on numerous attractions, including Koala Bungee, the Spinning Wish Tree, Rainbow Slide, Pink Sand Pool, and bumper cars.
“Not long ago, this area was just a wasteland filled with rundown buildings, weeds, and trash. Now it’s transformed into a beautiful children’s park. The environment has improved, and there’s finally a place for our kids to play,” commented Ms. Wang, a local resident.
The land, which was previously unused and over 40 acres in size, has been redeveloped into the Kung Fu Koala Children’s Paradise through strategic planning by Longjin Town. This initiative has not only revitalized dormant assets but also significantly enhanced the village’s financial capacity through collective investments and profit-sharing, thereby driving rural tourism development.
Mr. Li, another local resident, expressed his satisfaction, saying, “With such a large children’s park right at our doorstep, our kids are safe and happy playing here, which gives us parents peace of mind. The entrance fee is affordable, and all the attractions inside are free to play all day long.”
According to Zhang Kangkang, the village party secretary, the park has seen a remarkable rise in visitor numbers since its opening. “We’re averaging around 2,000 visitors a day, with peaks of up to 4,000. By the end of the year, we expect to host approximately 300,000 tourists, generating over 20 million yuan in revenue.”
Wei Xiang, the general manager of the Kung Fu Koala Children’s Paradise, shared future plans for the park. “We’re working on a second phase of development to create a comprehensive amusement experience that combines dining, shopping, and entertainment, all while boosting the sales of local agricultural products and creating job opportunities for residents. Our aim is to achieve a win-win situation for the village, its people, and the company.”
In recent years, Anyi County has embraced the integration of agriculture with tourism and village development, promoting comprehensive rural construction initiatives. This approach has led to the establishment of unique eco-villages and picturesque locales, painting a new picture of beautiful countryside where each household boasts scenic views, each village tells a story, and every road offers breathtaking sights.
