This is the first time I went to Crazy Animal City after the construction of the Crazy Animal City. I really like Crazy Animal City! With two friends, the staff also sent winter stickers. The traffic was not particularly large. I had a great time. I was very happy to sit in the first row of the Very Speed Light Wheel. I was very happy. After this time, I decisively bought the annual card.
Take friends to Disney, except for a long time in line, the others are really great! Highly recommend Mickey fairy tale books, queue up to sit in the first row one hour in advance, the experience is full! There is a reason for the large number of people in the dwarf mine car. It is suitable for all ages and young. The design is very clever and makes people very happy. You must go in advance for the float cruise. You can interact closely with Disney friends when you stand in front. I am inexplicably moved 🥲

Because I am a foreigner who is going to go to the ticket gate to buy tickets on the spot, but was told by the ticket gate staff that I could not buy on the spot, so I went to the hotel to buy it. After I went to the hotel, I thanked the hotel lobby team Xiaofang butler for communicating with me in English and helping me buy tickets to help me enter the park. The staff in the hotel are very enthusiastic! ! !
The parking lot is right next to the entrance. It is quite convenient. The parking fee for entering the park before 11:30 on the same day is 80 yuan. After that, there are many restaurants in the park of 50 yuan. The price is generally expensive. The taste is just full. Don't expect too much.

The exhibition of ancient Egypt in the Shanghai Museum is the largest in the world. As one of the four ancient civilizations of ancient Egypt, its cultural relics are still worth seeing. Egyptian special exhibition is divided into three pavilions, namely: "Pharaoh's Kingdom", "Sakala's Secret" and "Tutankhamen era". There are more than 700 cultural relics painted across the heart of the millennium, cat mummies, statues of the Pharaoh, etc., more than 95% of them are the first time to come to Asia. The one-year Egyptian Antiquities Exhibition is coming to an end in August. If you are a lover of history and culture, or are full of yearning for ancient Egyptian civilization, you must come and see.
Come to Shanghai to watch the F1 competition, and I went to see the Egyptian Pyramid Exhibition when I had time. Book on Trip.com in advance, and go to the museum to brush your ID card directly, which is very convenient. Be sure to spell an explanation, otherwise I really don't know what I'm watching. 😂

Quite worth coming! I learned a lot of new things and new concepts. The three exhibition areas introduced the basic knowledge about cosmic astronomy at the practical, conceptual, and humanistic levels. The fare is also quite worth seeing!
Teacher Wang's explanation is very meticulous, and the children's feelings can be taken care of throughout the whole process. As a first-time person, there is an explanation that is still very necessary, otherwise it will look very blank. Of course, this is an exhibition hall worth repeatedly brushing. No wonder it is an Internet celebrity.

Хороший зоопарк. Можно увидеть панду. Если никогда не были на сафари, то можно посетить. В целом хороший зоопарк, много животных. Но не самый вау.
Remember that the ticket was 50 yuan when the park was just opened. The modern day rose so high, but I think that there are so many animals to feed, and I think it is more normal. There are actually not many places to walk in the park. There is no need to take a battery car.

I also saw the sunset of the century on the yacht of the Pujiang tour. It felt like the fire cloud was really super beautiful! The clouds and the sunset hit a dream full of the entire Pujiang River, which looks like falling into orange. It is super dreamy. I am very fortunate to participate in the company activities on this day. Under the gentle gilded of the sunset, the three-piece suite of Lujiazui buildings looks very magnificent.
🚗 Get off at Lujiazui on the subway, walk about 700 meters below the Oriental Pearl Tower and get to the cruise ship Oriental Pearl Pier. 🌿 I saw the ticket office of the Oriental Pearl Tourism Wharf. If there are any remaining tickets, you can buy them on the spot. It is recommended to buy them online in advance. There are basically no tickets on the spot on weekends and holidays. In order to ensure the experience, each boat has a limited number of people. ✨ Our theme cruise VIP tickets are now available in four classes a day: 15:00, 18:00, 19:15, 20:30. You can enter the venue half an hour in advance and change clothes, free clothing is provided, and friends can change clothes as they like to take beautiful photos on the boat. There is free mineral water on the boat. 🌺 We changed the agricultural clothes in the rest hall and couldn't wait to board the boat. We took a lot of beautiful photos. The rest dressing room is also old Shanghai style and the Republic of China style. It is very popular. We booked a 19:15 venue, about 18:30 can enter the venue, 19:00 can board the ship. 🍀 Our China is divided into two floors below and above. Each floor is a panoramic floor-to-ceiling door and window. You can enjoy the scenery of the Huangpu River during the voyage whether indoors or outdoors. You can watch the Shanghai-style performance on the lower floor. The upper floor has a large deck and many cards. You can sit on the bow and slowly blow the wind of the Huangpu River, and savor the charm of Shanghai night scenes and shadows. 👉🏻 Tour route: Pearl Wharf → Fair Road → Bund World Building Expo → 16th Shop → Pudong Binjiang Avenue Q along the Pearl Wharf, the whole journey time is about 45 minutes.

Very beautiful however u need to be in front 3rd of the line to get a space at the rail.
There are so many people who come to Shanghai to play with children and the elderly. When I was queuing, the hall was a little panicked. When I got on the boat, I suddenly got a bright view of the beautiful upper beach.～ It felt like I was in a painting.～ The brilliant lighting ～ The river breeze is also good.～ I heard the roar of the big ship engine. I knew this was true!

The light show at the dampener on the 126 floor is spectacular. The view at night from the 118th floor is also spectacular.
It was a great experience. Standing at the highest point to see the whole Shanghai and the 4-piece set, the feeling is completely different from watching it from the ground. From day to sunset, watching the night view of the Pearl Tower on the Huangpu River in Shanghai, tasting the buffet food, the cost performance is very high. Like 👍

I have been to the aquarium countless times. Every time I go to the aquarium, I have a different feeling. The aquarium is also constantly improving and constantly updating. The environment of the aquarium is very good. The animal variety is rich. I can grow a lot of marine knowledge every time. I like marine animals very much. I like the aquarium.
Very good, rich in content, the science explanation of marine animals is very comprehensive and meticulous, let people clearly understand what animals they are watching, and many sets are very novel, and the animal survival environment is very comfortable

The top of Shanghai has an excellent viewing location. Standing here, you can overlook the Shanghai panoramic view, including the Huangpu River, the Bund, the Oriental Pearl Tower and other landmarks. The night view has been mentioned many times as "beautiful" and "like a galaxy". Shanghai Central Building is the tallest building in China and the second tallest building in the world. This landmark identity is attractive in itself.
The 180 yuan ticket price of the Shanghai Zhixuan Tourism Hall is slightly more expensive, but the 546-meter-high 360° panoramic view and 55 seconds of extremely fast elevator experience are unique and suitable for punching in. It is recommended to choose a sunny evening to take into account the day and night view. Guests who come to Shanghai to play can experience it.
