I compared ticket prices from several platforms, including the official website, Tongcheng, and Fliggy, and Ctrip was the best deal! I hadn't been to Shangdi in years. This time, I took my baby there for his third birthday on August 24th. Although the weather was hot and the crowds were huge, I couldn't help but feel excited. The overall experience was fantastic! My baby loves The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. We lined up in the evening and got in in 20 minutes. We already bought Buzz Lightyear's Space Rescue and wanted to buy it again!
I booked my tickets in advance on Ctrip, and the process was smooth and worry-free. The entire Disney experience far exceeded my expectations. It's definitely a fantasy park worth visiting countless times! The most breathtaking moment was undoubtedly the grand finale, the "Dreamlight Spectacular." The castle lights and fireworks intertwined, and the music brought tears to my eyes. The Disney magic is ever-moving! The afternoon parade was equally spectacular, with all the iconic characters making an appearance. The atmosphere was joyful and heartwarming, and the children were waving their hands with excitement. The newly opened "Zootopia" was incredibly immersive! It felt like stepping into a movie world, and the adorable interactions between Judy and Nick captivated the audience. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" Battle for the Sunken Treasure" was visually stunning and immersive; "Roaring Mountain" was refreshing and thrilling (note: raincoats must be purchased on-site with cash!); "Soar Over the Horizon" was undoubtedly the most crowded attraction, with a 5D tour of world landmarks—every frame a visual delight! I efficiently completed all the popular attractions in one day, thanks to my advance travel guide on Ctrip. The park service was attentive, and the staff always had a smile. The dining and shopping experiences were also plentiful. Overall, this trip was well-planned and packed with experiences, perfect for families and couples. I highly recommend booking through Ctrip for its convenience and security! I've already recommended it to my friends!

You must rent a small car for the entire day for 400 yuan to enter the park. It's a must for a family of three in hot weather. Aside from a few large rides with long lines, the rest were generally okay. My child preferred Water World.
Check out Shanghai Happy Valley this weekend for a truly captivating experience! The weightless feeling of a majestic swooping down from the summit is an adrenaline rush. The roar of the ancient dragons darting through the forest adds a touch of retro excitement. The illuminated carousel at dusk is sweet and soothing, creating a captivating atmosphere in every photo. The biggest surprise is the EV electronic music festival, where thousands of people dance to the rhythm and the chorus is incredibly moving. The float parade is even more lively, with enthusiastic performers interacting with each other, and the colorful floats, illuminated by lights, create a fairytale-like experience. From day to night, every attraction has something to suit your taste. This is definitely a fun place worth visiting!

What a beautiful day today! I originally just wanted to check out the Mayday dolls at the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, but I was completely surprised by the blue skies. I decided to head up to the tower for a breathtaking view of Shanghai. Visibility was fantastic; I could even see Chongming Island and Fengxian as far as the eye could see. Even planes taking off and landing at Hongqiao Airport were clearly visible. Through a telescope, I could even see Kunshan's Flower Bridge—it was truly breathtaking!
Great experience, rich variety of food, nice environment, no need to queue, very cost-effective. Just don't be late for the appointment, otherwise the dining environment will be shortened. There are relatively few people at 11 o'clock, so you need to make an appointment in advance for the later time slots

The water was dirty and murky. We were a family of three and returned home; my daughter had a fever and my husband had allergies. The overall design is quite good and suitable for teenagers. There are many slides, but the single-person slide on the second floor is very dizzy; I collapsed after just one try.
Buoyancy vests are fully provided and free of charge, which is very thoughtful. The water electronic music party is super exciting! The scene is a large-scale water disco scene, a must-see for young people!

The nightlife is not too hot and the price is cheap. It is quite good. The only difference is that there are fewer pandas and monkeys in the zoo than there were 9 years ago. It is still okay to take children to play at a low price.
This nighttime ticket is a steal! The kids are eager to go again tomorrow! After a busy day of sightseeing and fun, we decided to eat at a tiger-viewing spot. We saw the performances, the parade of floats, and the light show. We caught the last bus to explore the beasts at night—they were so mysterious!

Free parking is good. There are many things for children over 1 meter tall to play. It is not too hot to play indoors. The flow of people is OK. The experience is pretty good. Food is expensive, so you should bring your own.
It took an hour and a half to drive there. Parking was convenient and the signs were clear. It was a good experience to come to the indoor park on a hot day. Next time, I can play in the water world next to it.

The tallest building in China and the third tallest building in the world👍 is worth checking in. You can overlook the whole Shanghai. The super-high-speed elevator allows you to reach the top of the 118th floor in an instant. This experience is great!
If it weren't for the kind female manager, I would have completely misplaced my group. The service was excellent; clearer signage and directions would have been even better. The observation deck was quite crowded, especially the area facing the Bund, which was incredibly crowded. Fortunately, the illuminated view was fantastic. The damper was primarily a light show, and the technical explanations were mostly self-guided. The buffet was decent, with good service, but the quantity and quality of the dishes were average.

If you haven't been there, you can go and experience it. Some of the wax figures are very similar. In particular, you can experience taking pictures with the little golden man, leaving messages and signing on the signature wall, and I don't recommend paying extra for the 4D movie experience at the door. It's a complete no-brainer.
I was so excited to see the brothers I dreamed of. The wax figures are very handsome, but not as handsome as the real ones! TFBOYS. Yi Yangqianxi was borrowed) The sister who made the same mask as the stars was very enthusiastic. Please come and do the hand mask

We went at the tail end of summer vacation. It was hot, but not crowded. It was a great place for photos, with a wide variety of scenes. Parking was easy, and the parking lot was quite large. Perhaps due to the heat, there were very few people, so the photos were fantastic. However, be sure to take precautions against heatstroke, as it was incredibly hot. It's not a good place for children, as it's purely for photography, with very little to do. Overall, I'm quite satisfied, so I'll give it 4 ⭐s.
The tourist access road is too far. Driving is exhausting. We drove around in circles. Shanghai was scorching hot in late August. I was so hot I kept looking for water. We went to the Nanjing Photo Studio, where the filming was filmed. The scene was breathtaking. "Never Forget National Humiliation" and some of the old Shanghai architecture instantly transported me back to that era! I remember watching "Romance in the Rain" and thinking the Baidu Bridge was in downtown Shanghai. Turns out it was filmed at a film studio. We even went to Yiping's house.

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.
