    The park is quite large, divided into several scenic areas. I recommend taking the electric cart to visit each area one by one; otherwise, you won't be able to see everything in a day and it will be tiring on your feet. 20 yuan is a reasonable price, not expensive, and the electric cart is also inexpensive at 5 yuan.

    The zoo isn't large, but we went specifically to see the famous monkeys. The overall environment was excellent. The shuttle train is also recommended if you have children; it's only 15 yuan per person for unlimited rides. There are many educational displays, which is quite helpful. Some areas were under construction, but the animals seemed to be doing well. The staff were very friendly. However, the ticket price is a bit high for a city-level zoo.

    I had booked a guided tour with a "Big Shots Talk," but there are very few tourists booking these tours here; we almost couldn't form a group (it takes two people to form a group). Today's guide was a university professor, so the entire explanation flowed very well; he was also very serious about criticizing the hip-hop middle school students who came to the museum for educational purposes. We saw the palace lantern that President Xi Jinping had "traveled" to the United States for during his visit, and the "fish" housed in the Nandan Museum. The museum's free guided tours are held every half hour, but probably due to cost and hygiene considerations, they don't provide headsets for the free tours, and the guides' loudspeakers are extremely loud, which significantly reduces the visitor's satisfaction.

    A four-person group night cruise with fish dinner was only ¥598, which is quite cost-effective, and the food was delicious. Since it stated that tickets needed to be picked up between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM, I didn't hesitate. The ticket office is right next to the pier, and there aren't many good spots for taking photos nearby. Since we ate at 6:00 PM, it was difficult to eat until the 8:00 PM departure time. Furthermore, the scenery along the Yong River was rather ordinary; the night cruise along the banks wasn't as beautiful as the Pearl River in Guangzhou.

    Three people rented an electric scooter; a driver's license was required. The yard was huge; walking around was exhausting. Capybaras, deer, goats, peacocks... all could be encountered up close, and the kapok flowers were in full bloom! Middle school students, led by a guide, were learning through hands-on activities. There were architectural styles from various countries, and a model of the Potala Palace...

    Nanning Polar Ocean World is definitely worth a visit! It has many pavilions and exhibits, each filled with surprises. There's even a white wolf and an underwater tunnel with lots of fish, making it feel like taking photos in the deep sea – so beautiful! The jellyfish move around under the light, displaying many beautiful colors. The penguins are carrying rocks back and forth, like they're moving house. The dolphin and sea lion show is fantastic; you can sit in the front row and get up close to the dolphins, who can even balance balls on their heads! The mermaids' dance is beautiful, and the Golden Storm show is amazing. The mermaids even did a dance at the end, which was also very charming. I took my child to see it, and they loved it – a very happy day!

    One of the must-do activities in Nanning was taking the last boat trip of the night. It was very quiet, the weather was lovely, and we took the kids to experience the atmosphere of a night cruise on the Yong River. The photographer was excellent, taking many photos of the children with great patience and care. Highly recommended!
