Many rides share two queues, making it easy to mistakenly take photos, but thankfully, they're all quite similar. There are some areas within the park where phones are prohibited, so I recommend providing temporary electronic lockers to avoid the awkwardness of having to return to the entrance or swapping people to retrieve items. The waves at the Water Beach weren't as fun as I'd imagined. The force was average, and I drifted in place, unable to reach shore. I even felt nauseous from the waves. The Lazy River, on the other hand, was quite relaxing, just drifting with the waves.
Все прошло хорошо, от метро забирает бесплатный автобус, в целом отлично, однако некоторые места требуют ремонта, на горки очереди не большие, помните про аренду ячейки за отдельную плату (от 50 юаней) и круга (от 150 юаней), депозит потом моментально возвращаются на алипей.

ГОТОВЫ?! 💥 В Шанхае открылся ЛЕГЕНДАРНЫЙ Legoland! Буду постепенно делиться информацией с поездки ❤️Только представьте: открылся САМЫЙ БОЛЬШОЙ Legoland в мире. Это целый кирпичный город размером в 318 000 м² (это как 45 футбольных полей! ⚽️).Что вас ждет внутри этого чуда?🇨🇳 Но настоящая жемчужина – это потрясающий Miniland, где весь Китай воссоздан из... 85 000 000 (!!) деталей LEGO! Это просто космос!✨ 8 тематических миров: дайте волю фантазии в LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Castle, LEGO Friends и многих других!Лайфхак: Купите билеты онлайн заранее на trip.com Зачем стоять в очереди, когда можно сразу окунуться в волшебство? 💫 ⏳P.s. Шанхайский курорт Леголенд предназначен для семей с детьми в возрасте от 2 до 12 лет. В общем из всех аттракционов мы покатались на 3–х аттракционах 😜🙈(на одном дважды, сильно понравилось и очередь быстро двигалась). Остальные аттракционы рассчитаны прям на маленьких детей , учитывайте это при поездке 😁#LegolandShanghai #Шанхай
How should I put it? If you like Lego, you can come and check in. Kids will love it. But the service is not that good. Some employees have a bad attitude. Maybe they are too tired from work and don’t want to talk much. I also want to complain that the restaurant closes too early. I really don’t recommend eating at the buffet. It’s so unpalatable. Fortunately, it’s half price in August. The original price is really a rip-off. I really don’t recommend buying the Lego figurines for 99. After I sold it, I saw the ones for 79/3 next to them. Although they are not customized, they will be more fragrant. Customized ones don’t have any accessories to choose from. Anyway, I don’t recommend it. Overall it’s okay. Come and experience it once. I won’t come again next time. There is also a popcorn bucket for 198, which is a bit expensive.

At the first light of dawn, I'd reached the azure sea and golden sand. The water was crystal blue, surging with tiny whitecaps. The sand was so fine that it sank in upon itself, soft and warm like cotton. Far in the distance, where the sea and sky meet, a few small boats floated, silhouetted against the pale blue sky. There were still few tourists, and a few barefoot children played and chased the waves, their laughter carried far on the sea breeze. I also removed my shoes and socks, letting the seawater wash over my feet, its coolness penetrating my heart. The beach was strewn with shells of all colors, some shaped like fans, others like snails. I picked one up and pressed it to my ear, and sure enough, it echoed the hum of the tide.
At noon, the sun grew stronger, and people retreated beneath colorful parasols. I sat alone on the beach, watching the tide ebb and flow, and suddenly realized that compared to the sea, I am but a grain of sand. Yet the sea remains as azure, the sand as golden, as it has been for a thousand years.
I've read a lot of reviews, but none of them clearly explain how to enjoy the place. Let me explain:
1. The 65 yuan entrance fee is actually quite good value, considering we're not bringing children. However, there are a lot of revenue-generating activities. While there's a discount for children with the entrance fee, all the attractions are charged per person, regardless of whether you're an adult or child. After all, most people come with children, and the whole process is about pushing everyone to spend money.
2. Walk in! Walk in! Walk in! I can't say this enough. As soon as you enter, you'll see a very shallow beach. You can see the line in Picture 4. The sand is thin and the water is shallow. There's an inflatable "Colorful Water Park" nearby. Many people, upon seeing how shallow the open area is, immediately pay and go in. That's what we did!
3. There are actually many recreational activities inside. (1) Figure 3, the colorful play area at the entrance, suitable for children under 6 years old; (2) Figure 1, walking inside is a water slide play area, suitable for children over 6 years old, more fun and more difficult than the previous one; (3) Figure 2, further ahead is a relatively open play area, in fact, I think this is the core of the 65 yuan ticket for Bishui Jinsha; (4) Kayaking (5) Other water project areas.
4. Bishui Jinsha is not the small pond at the entrance. There is a wider free water area inside. Everyone remember to walk inside.
5. It is understandable that there are so many charging projects. After all, it costs a lot of money to manage this sea area. Now that the government's finances are getting tighter and tighter, it is inevitable that the scenic area will find its own revenue-generating projects. However, the current management is indeed a bit chaotic. It is all managed by external contractors. I hope that the scenic area can unify management and clarify projects.

It rained that day, so the experience was average. The people were okay, but there wasn't much to eat. I walked around and there wasn't much to eat. The evening performance was also average. The next day I went to the nearby Fuyang Festival and had mutton which was pretty good.
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.

Water World is very fun and suitable for playing with children at home. Now there are not many Yuanyuans and you can quickly brush all the projects in an hour.
Jintian came here with his family and children to play. He wanted to learn about water world. He felt that there were many projects inside. It was very exciting and fun. I really like to play with my family. The service attitude of the staff in the water world was enthusiastic. I give them a thumbs up.

Dongping National Forest Park has a beautiful environment and fresh air. It is a pure natural oxygen bar. The elderly can come here to breathe fresh air, and children can come here to play bumper cars, mountain bikes, roller coasters, pirate ships and many other amusement facilities. It is a great place to have fun and relax!
The weather forecast for August 1st is 32 degrees. I took my little boy to the forest park. There were places for children to play. He didn't care about the heat at all. If there were no little troublemakers, it would be nice to walk around. I could feel the cool breeze and the park was shaded by green trees.

Century Cape Commercial Street is part of Century Park, just below the Century Bridge. While it's sunny during the day, the ocean breezes at night, making it a great spot for a relaxing evening stroll or a relaxing bar. While it's bustling with people at night, it's not overcrowded or noisy. There are even livestreams of people singing on the beachfront stone embankment, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
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!

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

Dishui Lake is free. The current season is in full bloom. The lotus and water lily are very beautiful. You can take a look at the sightseeing bridge of Dishui Lake in Lingang, Shanghai. It is very good.
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.
