Historical place to see. Good things to know and good information
It is very convenient to buy tickets on Ctrip. After the ticket is issued, it is very convenient to scan the code with the electronic ticket to enter, without making an appointment in advance. The Midway is very fun and worth going. My dad had a lot of fun. The scenery at the seaside is also good. It is less than 5 minutes away from the statue of the kiss of the century.

Overall, this place is pretty good. But compared to Hang Lung, it might be a little different. Generally speaking, there are fewer people on weekends or holidays, and there are fewer performances. Some facilities will not be open when it rains or the weather is bad. In short, it's up to you to choose.

Very good zoo. The pandas are quite fat and worth seeing. The other animals are also very lively. The parking lot is free. There are also many things to eat and drink inside. Different shops have different characteristics. You must leave enough time, otherwise you will not be able to finish the tour.
Easy to book and use - saved me time from standing in lines! Such an awesome place to visit

If your kids have a fascination with animals, this park is a good place to immerse them in a world of wildlife and adventure. While parking can occasionally present a challenge, the walk to the main entrance is quite manageable and convenient.To enhance your experience, I highly recommend purchasing tickets online in advance, as this can save you valuable time and spare you the hassle of waiting in line. Additionally, the park is accommodating for families.
Had a blast! Taking a tour to see the animals was so much fun! It is a lot of walking, and if you go during the spring or summer, bring a hat. All that said, it's still a good time, and the memories alone are worth it! Highly recommend you go.
