It was an amazing experience, you have to try this package to save your time and you should bring your passport to the park so they scan it and print your ticket , i will come back in next year 👏🏼
The most worthwhile thing to do in Shanghai is to go to Disneyland. Although you have to wait in line for a long time to play each project, it is worth it! I guess I will never come again. I am too old to handle it.

I really recommend this scenic spot. The Songcheng Eternal Love performance combines the history and culture of Hangzhou during the Southern Song Dynasty. The live performance is wonderful and shocking. Next time I go to other cities, I will also experience other Eternal Love performances.
I didn’t get to see the street performance maybe due to normal days, there’s no crowds.  performance of the entire love of great. As due to not a pit season, it took me less than two hours to finish all.

I took my kids to Haichang this weekend. The weather was cool and not crowded. We entered the park at 9:00 AM and left at 4:30 PM. We saw performances by killer whales, sea lions, beluga whales, and dolphins, went rafting and bungee jumping (Pelican Adventure), visited the seals, the Antarctic penguin pavilion, the Arctic pavilion, the underwater tunnel, Dinosaur Hill, and the Dragon Palace. It was a fun and fulfilling day.
The weather was cool this weekend and there weren't many people. I watched the killer whale, sea lion, beluga whale, and dolphin shows at Haichang, which were fantastic. The penguins in the penguin house were very cute. The volcano rafting was also great and the experience was great. If the line hadn't been a bit long, I would have taken it twice. The consumption in the park is quite expensive, and it would have been better if the price was more affordable.

The Shanghai Museum is a must-visit place for foreign tourists. It is especially popular this summer. The Egypt at the Top of the Pyramids exhibition attracts thousands of cultural and museum enthusiasts. It is like entering the mysterious ancient Egypt. Be sure to ask for an explanation to better understand Egypt's history and culture.
The Shanghai Museum, a landmark building on the edge of People's Square, looks imposing from the outside. Although most of the exhibits have now moved to the East Building in Pudong, a considerable number of items are still preserved here and are worth a visit. Enter through the South Gate and exit through the North Gate, which leads directly to People's Square.

It's a very fun playground with many rides, a large area, and wonderful performances. Two days should be just right for playing there. However, some of the decorations are a bit old and I suggest renovating them.
This is a well-known amusement park and dinosaur education center in China. The overall environment is pleasant, and the several dinosaur-themed areas each have their own unique character. The park's themed atmosphere is strong, creating an immersive experience. Several of the rides have been updated and are quite interesting, with plenty of attractions for both adults and children. While it's a bit old, it doesn't detract from the overall experience, demonstrating its maturity. The park was relatively unpopular that day, which improved the overall experience. However, the park closed at 5 PM, which was too early, so I didn't get to enjoy some attractions.

The zoo is huge. I thought I could leave in an hour or two, but it took me four hours even though I didn't visit a few pavilions. I recommend going when it opens because that's when the least people are. By the time we were about to leave, it was already crowded. The animals are all very cute and well-fed. There was an orderly queue at the check-in area. It was a good experience.
I didn't do any research before going, and I assumed all zoos were the same, so 2 hours would be enough to explore them all. It wasn't until I arrived at Hongshan that I realized there were animals you wouldn't see in other zoos, and the layout and thematic categories were unique. Even though there were so many people, I wanted to explore even when I was tired. I even stayed until closing time, still trying to find the animals to see. The orangutans and koalas left the deepest impression on me. I'll definitely come back when I have time.

My visit to the Shanghai Wild Animal Park was truly an experience! The park is incredibly large, with a vast variety of animals, including giant pandas, flamingos, and giraffes—everything you could possibly want to see was there. It was truly eye-opening. You could even take a feeding car and get up close and personal with the animals, which was both thrilling and fun. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive in explaining the animals. I highly recommend it! You can't go wrong here!
I bought the tickets on Ctrip and used my points to save 50 RMB. It was perfect! There were a lot of animals in the Shanghai Wild Animal Park and not too many people. It was really suitable for children.

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.

The former residence of the President of the National Government, commonly known as the Meiling Palace, is located at No. 9 Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Xuanwu District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Built in 1931, it served as one of the Nanjing residences of President Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, Soong Mei-ling.
The former residence covers an area of 80,000 square meters, with a construction area of over 2,000 square meters. It comprises a main building, a guardhouse, a garage, and a garden. The main structure, facing north and south, is three stories high and includes a basement. Modeled after traditional Chinese palace architecture, it embodies a blend of Chinese and Western design concepts. It is the largest single villa in Nanjing during the Republican era and one of the most complete surviving Republican-era villas, possessing high historical and artistic value.
On June 25, 2001, the former National Government Site, including the former residence, was designated by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as a fifth-batch National Key Cultural Relics Protection Site.
In 1930, Chiang Kai-shek formally proposed to the Premier's Mausoleum Management Committee the construction of a villa on Xiaohongshan Hill within the mausoleum. On October 24 of the same year, the Mausoleum Management Committee held its 24th meeting, chaired by Sun Ke, and resolved to "do as instructed."
In 1931, construction began on the Xiaohongshan Villa. Designed by Zhao Zhiyou, Director of the Nanjing Municipal Government's Public Works Bureau, Chen Pinshan, Chief Engineer, and built by the Xinjinjikanghao Construction Company, the estimated cost was 261,410 yuan.
In 1932, the Xiaohongshan Villa was completed and designated as the official residence of the President of the National Government.
In 1934, the official residence of the President of the National Government was converted to the Xiaohongshan Official Residence, serving as a resting place for senior officials visiting the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.
In 1947, after the National Government returned its capital to Nanjing, the Xiaohongshan Official Residence became Chiang Kai-shek's official residence. Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling often visited the residence to rest, worship, and vacation, earning it the nickname "Meiling Palace." In 1950, the former residence of the President of the National Government was taken over by the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Administration as public property and converted into a sanatorium for senior cadres of Jiangsu Province. In 1951, the former residence of the President of the National Government was converted into a sanatorium for cadres directly under the Nanjing Municipal Government, and later into the Dongjiao Hotel. On September 1, 1990, the former residence of the President of the National Government was merged into the Jinling Hotel by the Jiangsu Provincial Tourism Bureau. In March 2012, the former residence of the President of the National Government was re-assigned to the management of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Administration [4].
Zhongshan Scenic Area is very worth visiting, but it is recommended to change the visiting time to two or three days. I visited it with a friend in one day. The overall experience was great and full of history, but one day was too short, and some attractions could not be fully visited. But overall it was great and highly recommended!

The Shanghai Ocean Aquarium exhibits over 450 species and 12,000 rare fish and endangered species from five continents and four oceans. It also features a 155-meter-long underwater tunnel, one of the longest in the world.
It's a pretty small aquarium but worth the low price. Nice variety of fish and, thankfully, not many mammals :) The underwater viewing tunnel is very long and special, I really enjoyed that. If you travel with kids, they would have a great time! Souvenir shop is sadly limited with basically the same items repeated all over the shop, but it does have some cute plushies you'll have difficulty to resist :D There's food and seating space available inside.
