Folk-style gardens and evening activities
Xiaoshi Yizhuang (小市一庄) combines rural scenery, folk-culture experiences, dining, entertainment and cultural performances. You can stroll through the grounds, eat or join activities scheduled for the day. During the day, focus on the gardens and streets. If you want to see the lights or a show, plan around the performance times.
Day visit or evening visit
A daytime visit with a meal can be fairly short. If you stay for evening activities, also allow time for dinner, waiting for the show and getting home after it ends. Evening programmes vary by season and event date; check whether one is scheduled for your visit.

Walk around during the day
During the day, walk among the gardens, streets and folk-culture settings, and note the places to eat and rest along the way. The traditional-style buildings are part of the park scenery and make good places for a stroll and photos.
Evening performances and lights
Bonfires and evening performances are scheduled for specific dates; they do not take place every day. If you are visiting specifically for the evening programme, check whether lighting and performances are scheduled for that date.
Dining and rides
The park has dining and entertainment, so you can combine a meal with your visit. Animal encounters (萌宠), the Forest Water Slide (森林水滑) and the Magic Carpet (魔毯) operate according to the day’s schedule. Check height and safety requirements before taking part.
For a nearby underground-river cave visit with a separate ticket and transfer, see Benxi Water Cave.
Build your day
Daytime visit
Enter through the scenic area entrance and first explore the gardens and folk-culture streets. Then choose dining and any rides that are open based on your interests. The visit mainly involves walking around the grounds; leave through the same entrance when you are done.
Evening activities
If there is a performance that evening, plan in this order: enter and explore, have dinner, wait for the show, watch it, then leave. Before setting out, confirm the showtime, closing time and transport after the performance. Arrange a pick-up and check the last bus; if public transport stops before the show ends, book a ride or leave early.

Navigation and nearby attractions
Search for “小市一庄景区” (“Xiaoshi Yizhuang Scenic Area”) in your navigation app. The park is in Tongjiangyu Village (同江峪村), Xiaoshi Town (小市镇), Benxi County, about one kilometre from Benxi Water Cave (本溪水洞). They have separate tickets. Arrange separate transport when travelling to the Water Cave or back to Xiaoshi Town; the short distance does not establish that there is a direct walking connection.
Getting back at night
The scenic area information number is 024-46186666. If you are not driving, arrange transport both ways between Benxi Railway Station (本溪站), Xiaoshi Town and the park, and confirm the last service after any evening activities.
Know before you go
Tickets and entry times
When buying tickets, check whether the ticket covers admission only, whether dining can be credited towards the price, whether rides cost extra and how long the ticket is valid. Confirm current discounts for children and older visitors, as well as the terms for evening and combined tickets.
Daily activities and documents
Check opening hours, the last entry time and the evening programme through the scenic area’s official channels. After an event, check when the parking area and pick-up service close.
International visitors using a passport as ID should check which documents are accepted, what payment methods are available and how tickets are verified on arrival.
