This is a very nice B&B, clean and well-organized. The owner is very kind and considerate of his guests. We stayed with our two children, and the owner took the initiative to drive us to a nearby supermarket to buy food and drinks for Disneyland the next day before we went. He also paid attention to every detail. The bar was stocked with Band-Aids, needles and thread, toilet water, and sunscreen spray. We originally booked two nights, but the children didn't have enough fun, so we added another. I'll definitely be back next time!!
I arrived at the subway station around 8:30 AM. It was a small crowd today, so I barely had to wait in line.
Morning:
Pirates of the Caribbean (indoor train, recommended)
Heat Pursuit (indoor train, recommended)
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (a little bit of weightlessness, very gentle)
Alice in Wonderland (park, boring)
Roaring Mountain Tubing (bumping, dizzy, not thrilling, so bring your own raincoat)
Little Brave Camp (good for kids to play in the sand)
Afternoon:
Carousel
Frozen (indoor show)
Mickey Mouse's Storybook Adventure (indoor show, recommended)
Tron Lightcycle Power Run (indoor roller coaster)
Dining at the Cheesecake Factory in Disneytown (expensive, large portions)
Mickey Mouse Meet and Greet (staff helped take photos)
Evening:
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (indoor Train)
Peter Pan's Sky Adventure (indoor train)
Crystal Voyage (outdoor boat ride, recommended at night)
Slinky Dog (ends quickly)
Dragon Racing (aka Pirate Ship)
Jetpack (spinning, high altitude, dizzy)
Summary:
Download the Disney app and go to the ride with the shortest lines;
The parade is least crowded during the noontime;
In the afternoon, when the sun is hot, schedule performances and indoor rides;
The area is expensive, with a bottle of Coke costing 18r. It's better to eat in Disneytown (you'll need to leave Disneyland, so keep your ticket so you can go back and forth);
Drinking water is available in every restroom;
I feel like a special forces soldier. So tired 💤

Shanghai Legoland is perfect for a family outing, especially for young children. The family spent a happy and wonderful day at Legoland. There are many family-friendly attractions and the waiting time is not long. Especially the beach party, the children had a great time playing in the water.
If you ever played with LEGO, then this is a must ! The park is huge, multiple worlds and an exposition center inside the main building. The live action show inside the theater was also interesting, the first time I saw something like this !

It was my first time to visit Happy Valley with half-price tickets during the Tourism Festival. The number of people entering the park that day was OK, and the waiting time for the projects was acceptable. The children played most of the projects, which was not bad.
You must rent a small car for the entire day for 400 yuan to enter the park. It's a must for a family of three in hot weather.
Aside from a few large rides with long lines, the rest were generally okay. My child preferred Water World.

Overall, the fun was ok, the killer whale show was quite shocking, the boys liked Ultraman very much, and stayed there for a long time. Some projects had to wait in line for a long time, which was too much to handle, so I didn't get to experience them.
It was such a blast! The staff were well-trained, smiling, and enthusiastic. The performances were all top-notch and left a lasting impression. It was a truly wonderful experience and I'll definitely be back next time...

This ticket includes the light show, access to the top floor viewing area and outdoor viewing area, and the Shanghai History Museum. For me, the museum was the highlight of this experience as the figures were so lifelike, which actually nade me feel like I was viewing Shanghai's past. This experience is good value for money.
體驗融合了高空觀景與美食，優點在於可以在267米高空一邊用餐一邊欣賞上海的城市景色，體驗亞洲最高的旋轉餐廳帶來的獨特視角。缺點則是價格相對較高，餐點品質或菜色選擇不如預期，同時觀景也可能受到天氣影響

The park is huge, and we initially thought that the enclosures were too small for the animals. But after taking the bus through the open area we were impressed with the amount of open space the animals had. Besides that the park offers all you come to expect from Chinese tourist spots, plenty of food and gift buying options, lots of different experiences and an overall good time.
This is our second time visiting the zoo since our baby was born. We had a lot of fun there. The baby also had a great time. We were very excited to see real animals. There are also some entertainment facilities inside. It is suitable for taking children to play. We can spend the whole night there.

The world's only China exhibition area: This distinguishes the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium from other aquariums. It specifically showcases the aquatic life and ecology of the Yangtze River Basin, featuring nationally protected species such as the Chinese sturgeon, the Yangtze alligator, and the giant salamander, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of China's native aquatic biodiversity.
The world's longest underwater sightseeing tunnel: At 155 meters long, it offers visitors a panoramic view of the underwater world. Sharks, turtles, and other marine life swim overhead and around them, creating a truly immersive experience.
A rich and diverse collection of exhibits: The aquarium features over 450 species and over 15,000 fish, representing a diverse range of rare and endangered fish species from five continents and four oceans, including electric eels and arapaima from South America and freshwater sawfish and archerfish from Australia. Visitors can experience the fascinating marine life of different oceans from a single perspective. Interactive Experiences: The museum features a touch pool where visitors can touch starfish, sea urchins, and other marine life to experience their textures. There are also feeding demonstrations where divers feed sharks and fish, creating a breathtaking scene of competition for food. A free treasure hunt map (limited daily) is available at the entrance, allowing visitors to participate in the game, adding to the fun and exploration.
Dreamlike Jellyfish Display: The museum's jellyfish area showcases a variety of jellyfish of varying shapes and colors. The shimmering light and shadow create a dreamlike illusion, and the Jellyfish Dream Wall is a popular photo spot, creating stunning silhouettes.
The Shanghai Ocean Aquarium is one of the world's largest man-made saltwater aquariums. Buy your tickets online in advance for ultimate convenience. Nine themed exhibition areas showcase aquatic life from five continents and four oceans, making this truly an unforgettable "ocean journey"!

When you come to Shanghai, you must check out the three-piece Lujiazui. Standing at the Jinmao Tower, Shanghai World Financial Center, and Shanghai Tower, I was really shocked when I looked up. The sense of science fiction was full.
The tallest building in China and the third tallest building in the world👍 is worth checking in. You can overlook the whole Shanghai. The super-high-speed elevator allows you to reach the top of the 118th floor in an instant. This experience is great!

What planetarium closes at 4 PM?! It's really freaking me out! We came all the way from Shandong and didn't even notice it closed. We only saw that they didn't let us in after 3 PM. Seriously, we arrived at 2:60 PM! The kind ticket checker told us to hurry up and see the exhibit, as it closed at 4 PM! Ugh! I was devastated!
Ctrip package deals eliminate the line.
This planetarium is very good, very interesting and informative. My children said they learned a lot. The architecture and environment are very well designed. However, it was too crowded.
