It seems that the cost-effectiveness of Shanghai Disneyland is very high, much higher than that of Legoland. However, you should never go there in summer. Spring and autumn are both very good, the sky is super blue, and it is very photogenic. Many young people go there just to take pictures. Babies really shouldn't go there, it's meaningless and they can't play there. At least 3-year-old children or adults can play by themselves.

Legoland is perfect for kids. The experience was fantastic. The average line was 5-10 minutes, and we entered at 12:00 PM. By 6:00 PM, we had played almost every ride, and even the most exciting ones twice. Food and drinks were all half-price at the park, as it had just opened, which was a great deal. Upon exiting the park, staff at the gate gave the children small gifts. I think this park is great. The park is colorful and perfect for younger children. Although it's a bit far from the city center, the high-speed rail connects directly, taking 18 minutes. From Hongqiao Railway Station to Jinshan North Station, it's a 5-minute taxi ride to the park, so it's very close. Transportation is quite convenient.
Lego lovers, go for it! We stayed at the Legoland Hotel and spent the next day at the amusement park, taking photos and enjoying the attention to detail. 👍 It was very friendly to both children and the elderly!

It's great to go during the Spring Festival. The place is big and there are fewer people than many amusement parks. You can basically play in a 20-minute queue. Adults and children can have fun. There are also many folk performances. At the end, we also watched the fireworks show.
Happy Valley is more suitable for cool weather. All the rides are outdoors, and the queues are also in the outdoor area. There are not many people in summer, and you can basically get a queue within 20 minutes. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the park, so it is recommended to wear long pants.

The Shanghai Planetarium is a "space museum" that puts the starry sky within reach. Its "three-body" architecture depicts the orbits of celestial bodies, with a circular skylight acting as a sundial and an inverted dome evoking a glimpse into the heavens. Every detail incorporates astronomical aesthetics. From our home planet to the vast universe, from ancient astronomical instruments to modern space exploration, the museum features rare artifacts such as the Suizhou meteorite, interactive experiences simulating a Mars landing, and professional equipment like a 65cm solar telescope, allowing visitors to "touch" the stars. More than just a museum of popular science, it offers an immersive experience that allows everyone to understand the romance and mysteries of the universe, becoming a wondrous bond connecting humanity with the stars.
This place was incredibly popular during the summer vacation. I finally managed to get a reservation, so I quickly brought my kids here to experience the wonders of the cosmic sky.
The entire venue is incredibly high-tech, with all sorts of AI-powered interactive experiences, and the kids had a blast.

The d'Orsay exhibition at the Pudong Art Museum was amazing, with a rich variety of exhibits. As an art lover, I made a plan in advance. I first went to the front desk to get an introduction to understand the location of the works of different painters. I looked through them myself to get a general understanding, then followed the tour guide to visit the exhibition in the order of the exhibition. Finally, I looked at my favorite paintings again. It was great and I gained a lot.
I chose the night show, and while it wasn't crowded, I was able to get close up shots of the masterpieces. MAP's location is fantastic, right in the heart of Lujiazui, Pudong. You can get a close-up look at the Pudong Three Elements, as well as a distant view of the Bund's international architectural complex, making it a great place to enjoy both the exhibition and the scenery.

There were quite a few animals, and the kids had a blast. I recommend buying a feeding package. For 100 yuan, you can basically feed all the animals up close, but if you don't have enough, feeding each animal will cost 30-40 yuan each. Overall, the 100 yuan package is a great value. For those who can't walk, there are electric four-wheeled vehicles for 200 yuan an hour or 600 yuan a day, which is a great way to save on legwork. I've seen many people say there are too many fees, but they actually just enhance the service. Buying a ticket and not spending money inside doesn't affect your ability to see any of the animals, but getting closer requires extra payment. The wild animal area also has a free bus tour, but if you want to feed the animals, you'll need to purchase a VIP ticket for 100 yuan per person.
Maybe it was too hot, so not many people came to the zoo on summer weekends. A bunch of ring-tailed lemurs, their drooping tails, looked like snakes from a distance. They were probably too hot, so no one even ate a bowl of apples. Macaws and toucans are my favorites. It's hilarious to see gorillas in diapers. The declining birth rate has led to a sharp drop in business for diaper manufacturers, but they've opened a new track in the zoo. The drive-through to the wild animal area was quite long. The animals were quite lazy.

Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is really one of the classic landmarks that must be visited in Shanghai. This time I went shopping with my friends and played for a full 4 hours. I felt that the time was not enough. There are tall buildings on both sides of the street, modern and historical buildings are intertwined, and there are various brand flagship stores, snacks, and souvenir shops along the way, which can satisfy shopping, eating, drinking and having fun in one stop. Especially the scenery in the direction of the Bund is super shocking. You can see the skyscrapers in Pudong and the scenery of the Huangpu River. It has its own charm both during the day and at night.
The pedestrian street is very popular, the street performers are very interesting, and occasionally you can encounter various creative exhibitions or flash events, which always allow people to find new surprises. This place is suitable for friends to play together, and it is also suitable for family and children or couples to date. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, the sense of security is strong, and the public security is good.
In terms of cost performance, Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is free to open, shopping itself does not cost money, shopping and food consumption are flexible, and there are rich choices. If you are tired, there are many cafes and dessert shops along the street to take a rest.
Tips: It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes because you will really walk for a long time. It is recommended to take pictures near the Bund, where the view is particularly good. There are more people on holidays or weekends, so it is recommended to go out early for a better experience.
In short, Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is a must-see attraction for friends who come to Shanghai for the first time. It is worth strolling slowly and savoring it carefully. . .
There are a lot of people, it's very lively, and there are a lot of people checking in. It's still very good to take pictures here, and it feels like a good movie. - Taikang Soup Dumpling Restaurant: A time-honored soup restaurant in Shanghai, with special delicacies such as crab roe soup dumplings and fresh meat dumplings.
M Bean Chocolate World: You can experience pulling colorful chocolate beans, which is full of fun.
Harbin Food Factory in Shanghai Harbin: Butterfly cakes and apricot strips are its signature snacks.
Lao Xiangzhai: Chicken biscuits and moss strips are individually packaged for easy storage and carrying.

Who knows, family! The Shanghai Zoo is truly amazing! This time, I had a completely immersive experience. Upon entering, I was greeted by a vast expanse of greenery and lawns, and the air was filled with a fresh scent. There were so many different kinds of animals, each one full of life and incredibly adorable. I especially want to praise the breakfast stall, which has everything from pancakes to steamed buns. The food was amazing, and the prices were fantastic. I highly recommend it!
It's huge. If you were to walk on your own, the route would be quite extensive, hahaha.
You really need to take the cable car specifically to see the otters, but the weather was bad that day, so even seeing them was difficult. It would have been nice to have more animal interactions; we walked around that day and didn't see any.

There are many photo-taking spots, which are very good for taking pictures. It is a good time to bring the family to play around, take pictures and check in. There are many scenic spots where you can wear ancient costumes. The pictures are super beautiful and very appropriate.
Shanghai Film and Television Park: Replicating the style of old Shanghai, with many filming locations, it's perfect for taking retro photos and experiencing the atmosphere of film and television shooting. However, it's a bit far away, so if you want to immerse yourself in old Shanghai, you'll need to plan your time accordingly.

Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park offers a wealth of marine life, not just rides. Many of the performances are excellent, especially the beluga whale, killer whale, and dolphin shows, which are incredibly relaxing. The closest and most convenient option is the Haichang Ocean Park's own hotel, which offers direct access to the park via facial recognition. It's incredibly convenient.
It was my first trip abroad after the pandemic, and every photo is as beautiful as an oil painting. Whether it's the beach or the city, I can always feel the different exotic customs. Thanks to tour guide Li for his careful explanation. The boring history class became a lot more interesting. Thanks to driver Alexander. The car was super stable and I slept very well. 😂 The whole itinerary was very fulfilling, and I met a lot of interesting people. I look forward to seeing you again.
