There is only one Bund in China, Shanghai, and there is only one in the world. The Bund is a culmination of European architecture, and foreign tourists also regard the Bund as a must-see attraction. If you don't visit the Bund, you've come to Shanghai in vain.
Strolling along the Bund, walking in the foreign concessions, and gazing at the steel forest of Lujiazui from afar, you can feel the prosperity of the world. Looking at the bustling crowds, all kinds of languages, and all kinds of skin colors, you will be shocked by this miracle on earth. You can also feel the power of the motherland and the beauty of the city.

The best thing is the smile of the waiter in Palenque. His enthusiasm ignites Maya's enthusiasm. I went there three times this month. There were more people each time and more activities. It is very popular. It used to be 239 per ticket, but now it is on sale for 199.
It's really interesting. As soon as you enter the water park, the colorful water projects directly attract people. There are many exciting water projects in the park that make me scream. It's not tiring to play with the projects together, and there are many things for children to experience! Rushing down from the high slide, the wind whistles in my ears, and my heart seems to jump out of my throat. Does anyone in the family understand this feeling? The tension and excitement brought by the high-speed dive are really memorable~ There is also the huge wave pool, with waves surging, throwing up and falling directly to let us experience being in the sea and feeling the power of nature. It is also quite shocking. There are also staff in the outermost circle to ensure safety! The water quality and safety in the park are guaranteed, and there are also places to eat here, so it is really convenient to play!

Although Shanghai is close to the sea, it is not a coastal city, but at least there are several beaches to play. This time, I took advantage of the few days before they were open to the sea to go for a walk. The environment is good and there are not many people. You can play in the sand and row a boat. It will be lively in summer. The surrounding farmhouse food is delicious
As one of the few seaside bathing beaches in Shanghai where you can see the sea and swim, the environment here is pretty good. Of course, it is not comparable to Sanya, Qingdao, and Zhuhai. There are some entertainment facilities on the beach. My personal favorite is kayaking, which costs 40 yuan and is unlimited in time. However, in the evening, the sea breeze is very cold and the wind is getting stronger, so I can only reluctantly go ashore.

This ski resort is one of the best ski resorts I have ever seen. If you like skiing and have the opportunity to go, don't miss it. It is an indescribable joy to be in this ski resort. I strongly recommend it to all my friends to take pictures.
The ski resort is very well equipped. All the car models, blankets and protective gear are provided. The staff is very friendly and the slope is moderate, suitable for skiers of all levels.

Let me talk about the bad things first. The consumption is high, and the water quality and sand are very ordinary. The adult ticket on weekends is 65/person. There are snack stands inside, and the lowest price is 20 per person, which is definitely much higher than outside. The beach is not big, and the water quality should be ranked in reverse throughout the country. The beach is easier to walk in places where there are waves, and the rest are painful. The above are objective evaluations. For people who live in non-coastal cities, it is very happy and comfortable to occasionally see the sea 🌊, blow the sea breeze 🌬️, and step on the beach 👣. There are more tourists with children, and the atmosphere is very lively. It happened to be the last day of the beer festival, and there were performances in the distance. The beach is open until 8:30 in the evening. When I went there, it was more than five o'clock, and the weather was not hot, so it was very comfortable.
The weekend ticket price is 65 for adults. Gate 5 is closest to the beach, and there are toilets and footbaths nearby. The weather is very good and the sky is blue. Although the sand is not as fine as the natural one, it is pretty good. There are still quite a lot of tourists. Coming to the beach makes you feel relaxed and comfortable.

It is very convenient to scan the code to enter the park when ordering on Ctrip. There are 3 venues, and the tourist guide signs are very user-friendly, so you won't go the wrong way. There are many plant species, and you can learn more. The scenery is beautiful and worth recommending.
Ce loc minunat! Am descoperit această grădină pentru prima dată și am fost plăcut surprinși. Atât de frumos totul. Sunt indicații peste tot și te poți orienta ușor. Recomand cu căldură acest loc, iar dacă vei merge cu copii cu atât mai bine. Au atât de multe de văzut și de învățat.👍

Riding a shared bike into the morning mist, a flock of peacocks are swooping down with their feathers spread out, and a blue, green and gold screen is thrown in front of you! I bumped into a deer chewing tender leaves at the corner of the forest road, and my wet nose made my palms itch. Rusty fighter planes are hiding in the bamboo forest, and naughty children are climbing into the cockpit to pretend to be pilots. The laughter and scolding of parents scare away the egrets on the treetops. I ride until my legs are weak and eat a sandwich on the lawn, watching peacocks pacing, deer shadows passing by, and fighter planes piercing out from the treetops - this magical mix is worth the money!
The park is located on Chongming Island. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Shanghai. The price is not very expensive but not cheap. You can save 8 yuan if you buy it in advance. There were few people when I went there on Saturday, probably because of the hot weather. Due to the small number of people, many facilities and equipment were not in operation, and there were even more maintenance staff than tourists. From this perspective, the cost performance is not very high, but the weather is good. If you go there just for this, it seems a bit not worth it.

This place is worth visiting. Children always have a lot of fun every time they go there. The little train, bumper cars, pirate ship and carousel are must-rides. There are also small airplanes, jellyfish, aerial bicycles, etc. If you are tired, you can lie on the grass and take a rest!
In the spring when flowers are blooming, it is definitely a good choice to go to Century Park for a stroll. The city flower white magnolia is in full bloom, and cherry blossoms and poppies are also blooming one after another. The large lawn is also open for people to set up tents and rest, and children can play at will. There is also a timed musical fountain that is beautiful. There are two performances in the afternoon on weekends and one at 7 pm. You can choose freely when you want to enjoy it.

Sophora japonica flowers are strung into wind chimes, and the sweet fragrance of honeysuckle fills the air. The moment you step into Haidian Park🌿 The forest breeze is like a green ribbon. It gently covers your eyes and says: Get ready, I'm going to take you into a fairy tale💖
The park has 5 special projects from March 30 to May 5. Forest Hundred Flowers Exhibition Bird Love Week activities go-kart children's playground forest train and other interesting activities. The scenery is super beautiful

I went to Dishui Lake for vacation and was looking for attractions worth visiting. I found the Maritime Museum was quite interesting. Several visitors introduced different historical, cultural and professional knowledge respectively.
Opposite Tulin Square is Dishui Lake. During the Spring Festival, you can see two "lake guardian beasts", which are quite cute. Along the road on the Tulin Square side, you can see shops such as Cha Baidao. There are not many people at present, but the scenery along the lake is very good, suitable for leisure travel and cycling.
