Overall, it's a good place for children, with very few visitors. Buying tickets a day in advance offers incredible discounts. The park's hardware, roads, landscaping, and rides are a notch below those of Disney and Universal Studios. Staff training is inadequate, and meals are currently 50% off. The location is quite remote, so I wouldn't go back again.
A colorful park with short lines and 50% off dining in July and August. During the scorching summer heat, Shanghai Legoland features mostly outdoor attractions, but children who enjoy building blocks can spend a whole day at the indoor "Police Headquarters" attraction. Highly recommended for children under 12.

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 must-see for visitors to Shanghai, but reservations can be difficult. The planetarium features three themed exhibition areas: "Home," "Universe," and "Journey," as well as three special exhibition areas: "China's Questions about the Sky," "Curious Planet," and "Sailing to Mars," along with an educational area. The museum houses approximately 70 meteorite specimens and over 120 artifacts. It is equipped with four professional-grade astronomical observation and demonstration equipment, totaling over 300 exhibits.
It was impossible to get tickets, so I bought a package ticket, the price was not expensive, it was very big inside, I couldn't walk around, I was exhausted after a day, but the kids still liked it very much, I will go there next time I have the chance

My bestie and I went to the Pudong Art Museum to see exhibitions. We were lucky enough to see three impressive exhibitions: "After the Red Moon," "Creating Modernity: Art Treasures from the Musée d'Orsay in Paris," and "Times of Yifei: A Chen Yifei Retrospective."
Because it was a weekday, the crowds weren't too large, and the exhibitions were truly enjoyable. It was a profound art appreciation experience. I highly recommend visiting these exhibitions, especially the Paris d'Orsay exhibition.
After the exhibitions, we went to the rooftop cafe, where we enjoyed a delicious meal and took in the beautiful views of Shanghai. Unfortunately, we had to catch the high-speed train back home. Otherwise, we could have seen the sunset and night views of the Huangpu River, which would have been a wonderful experience.

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.
The park is huge and has a ton of animals. It's quite unique, and there's even an amusement park for kids, though it's an extra fee. The kids had a blast. The animal shows were also very interesting, featuring many unusual animals.

The Shanghai Tower is 632 meters high, the tallest building in China and the second tallest in the world! The 118th floor observation hall has an unparalleled view of the Huangpu River and the Bund. The elevator takes you there in 55 seconds, which is super exciting! The glass curtain wall changes light and shadow, and the light show at night is super shocking. The ticket price is a bit expensive but worth it. Remember to go on a sunny day for beautiful photos! The only drawback is that there are a lot of people, so it is recommended to avoid peak hours
The Shanghai Top Observation Deck is not very big overall, and you can walk around it in a few minutes. There is a restaurant and a cafe on the 119th floor, and the scenery sitting by the window is still very shocking. There are no seats on the 118th floor, so you can only sit on the stairs to rest. There are also paid telescopes.

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.

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.
The park is very large and has many animals. It is very clean and has many cats. There is a shuttle bus you can take. Don't take the one that charges at the entrance. Once you enter, there is a bus stop with a car parked on the roadside. If there is an empty seat, you can take it for free to other points or back to the gate.

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.
The Shanghai Film and Television Park is super fun. There are many old landscape buildings that are particularly immersive. When I came here today, I saw the real-life shooting location of the Nanjing Camera, which made me feel particularly involved.

Shanghai Haichang is a great place for children to go, and the children are very happy. The park is well planned, and it is not tiring to walk. There are small trains and performances along the way, which is especially suitable for the whole family to play. The environment is also very clean, and the staff are very enthusiastic. I will come again next time! Shanghai Haichang is a great place for children to go, and the children are very happy. The park is well planned, and it is not tiring to walk.

It's very good, the ticket price is very favorable, the children like Haichang very much, there are many recreational facilities and performances, and the food and beverage can be discounted, which is really very affordable. I will go again.
