The Baico Garden is somewhat of a deceptive name. It certainly is filled with greenery and is a great place to take a walk. However, this location is a great retreat for families with children. It has amusement rides, a zoo, and you might even be able to snag a chance to see some acrobatic performances. There’s a play area for the children, and you can catch a bite to eat. It’s a great place to rest between nature walks and hikes, which are customary for Anji County, and give the children some time to play. Suffice to say it’s a children’s paradise.
