Erinome: Hello dear friends! Welcome to our podcast. Today, Enceladus and I are going to talk about a super nice gift for teachers—free tickets to many scenic spots on Teachers' Day 2025! Isn't that exciting?
Enceladus: Wow, really? Teachers' Day is coming soon, right? When is it?
Erinome: Yes! September 10th, 2025. It's the 41st Teachers' Day in China. Many places want to thank teachers, so they give free entrance tickets. Let's start with Henan Province first! There are so many scenic spots there.
Enceladus: Great! First one?
Erinome: Yinji International Tourism Resort. You know, like an amusement park. When is their activity time?
Enceladus: Oh, September 10th only, right? What can teachers visit for free?
Erinome: Yes! On September 10th, teachers can enter Yinji Animal Kingdom, Ice and Snow World, Lehai Myth World, and Huangdi Palace Hot Spring for free. But wait—they need to book a 0 yuan teacher ticket in advance on the WeChat mini-program.
Enceladus: Oh, important! So first, book the 0 yuan ticket. Then what?
Erinome: Then, when they go, they need to show their ID card and their own Teacher Qualification Certificate. Oh, and one adult teacher can take a child under 1.1 meters for free! That's sweet for teachers with little kids.
Enceladus: Aww, that's nice. Next scenic spot in Henan?
Erinome: Shangqiu Ancient City! But its activity time is not on September 10th. It's September 13th to 14th. Longer than the first one!
Enceladus: Oh, so teachers have two days to go there. What spots are free there?
Erinome: All state-run spots in Shangqiu Ancient City, like Huoshen Tai, Suihuang Ling, Zhangxun Ci... Many historical places! And they don't need to exchange tickets. Just show ID and Teacher Qualification Certificate directly.
Enceladus: That's convenient! No need to wait in line for tickets. Good for teachers who hate waiting, haha.
Erinome: Right! Next is Jinding Mountain Scenic Area. Its time is super long—from September 1st to 30th! The whole September!
Enceladus: Wow, that's the longest so far! So teachers can go any day in September. What's free there?
Erinome: The main entrance ticket. Just show their Teacher Qualification Certificate. No other papers needed. Simple!
Enceladus: Perfect for teachers who have busy schedules. They can choose a free weekend.
Erinome: Exactly! Then there's Huamei Valley Scenic Area. Activity time is September 6th to 10th. Free first entrance ticket.
Enceladus: What about family? Can teachers take their family?
Erinome: Yes! Family members get half price for the first ticket, but they need to buy 5 yuan insurance. Or they can book online one day in advance on Douyin or Meituan for 19.9 yuan each. Cheap!
Enceladus: Oh, that's a good deal for families. So teachers can go with husband/wife and kids, and family pays less.
Erinome: Yep! Next, Luanchuan Tianyu Taxus Scenic Area. Only on September 10th. Free entrance ticket, but need to pay 5 yuan insurance per person. And parking fee is 10 yuan for small cars.
Enceladus: Oh, small fees, but still mostly free. Good. Any other Henan spots?
Erinome: Zhoukou Dinosaur Happy World! September 10th. Teachers can enter for free, and they can take 1 family member over 1.4 meters and 2 kids between 1.2-1.4 meters—all free!
Enceladus: Whoa, that's a big family package! 1 adult + 2 kids. That's like a whole family trip for free. Teachers must love that.
Erinome: I know! Imagine taking your partner and two kids to a dinosaur park for free. So fun!
Enceladus: Henan has so many! What about other provinces? Any free spots there?
Erinome: Yes! Hubei Province has Enshi Grand Canyon. September 10th. Free entrance ticket, and they give gifts!
Enceladus: Gifts? What gifts?
Erinome: Male teachers get a custom pen—"to write teaching memories", and female teachers get a pen plus a carnation. So sweet!
Enceladus: Aww, that's thoughtful. Not just free tickets, but little gifts too. Teachers work hard, they deserve it.
Erinome: Totally! Another spot in Hubei is Xianfeng Pingbaying Scenic Area. September 10th, free entrance ticket. And teachers can take 2 relatives with them—relatives also get free entrance!
Enceladus: Oh! 2 relatives free? That's better than Huamei Valley. So teachers can take parents or siblings too.
Erinome: Right! More family love. Then there's Xinjiang's Guai Shiyu Scenic Area. September 10th, free entrance ticket, but not including shuttle bus inside.
Enceladus: Xinjiang is so beautiful. Teachers there can enjoy the big mountains for free. Remember, shuttle bus is not free, so take money for that.
Erinome: Yep! And Shandong's Wulian Mountain Scenic Area. They also have free tickets on Teachers' Day to thank teachers.
Enceladus: So many provinces! Henan, Hubei, Xinjiang, Shandong... Teachers all over China can get free trips.
Erinome: Exactly! What's the most important thing teachers need to remember?
