As a huge fan of Fu Bao, Everland is a place I've always wanted to visit. I bought an annual pass, and this ticket is for a friend. We saw the discounted price at the ticket booth while waiting at the park entrance; it was a great deal! I hope Ctrip will offer more promotional activities. To commemorate Ruihui and her mom being together, I'm including a photo of the three of them, plus Le Bao's dad! The Bao family are all adorable children.

Seoul Tower, right? That's it. I've been there four times in ten years, and every time is the same. It's nice to have a drink and enjoy the view, the sunset, and the night view. The length of your stay will vary depending on what you want to do. Don't forget to get off the mountain in time.

During the Cable Car Ride - Cabin Options: Standard Cabin (high cost-effectiveness, excellent view); Crystal Clear Cabin (wave-viewing view, not recommended for those with a fear of heights). - Must-Shoot: Frame the cable car with the Yonggung Cloud Bridge, the rocky outcrops, and the Busan Port Bridge with distant views of massive ships. 3. Destination: Sky Park Station - 3rd Floor Observation Deck: Overlooking the cable car and Songdo Bay in panoramic view, take photos with the "Little Prince and the Fox" sculpture (ideal for couples/families). - Hilltop Park: Cherry blossoms in spring, autumn foliage viewing, lawns perfect for picnics/relaxation. - Nearby Extensions: 10-minute walk to Yonggung Cloud Bridge (transparent bridge surface, amazing experience); 20-minute walk to Amnam Park (hidden photo spots, perfect for capturing the cable car and suspension bridge together). 4.

Buying tickets on Ctrip is cost-effective and quick. The Nanta show has been around for years, and the content hasn't changed at all. Seeing it once is enough. According to regulations, photography and videography are strictly prohibited after the show begins, and staff will be on duty at all times.

🌋Jeju Island's most surprising stop: Udo Island❗️ A treasure island full of healing 💯 The azure, almost unreal, jelly-like sea 🌊 Paired with black volcanic rocks and emerald green grassy slopes, it feels like stepping into a comic book 🖼 Every photo is a postcard-worthy image 📣Be sure to wear sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen!! Take a boat 🛳 to the island 🈶️. Feed the seagulls (seasonal). It's hot 🉑️ and indoors. 🈶️ Air-conditioned seats require shoes to be removed. The boat ride is very short, only about ten minutes. Get off the boat and rent an electric scooter 🛵. Too many shops are soliciting customers in Chinese. 🛵💨 Cycling around the island 🏝 is truly enjoyable. Stop 🉑️ at beautiful seaside spots along the way 🌈. The moss is slippery at low tide. 🛵 I fell while cycling. Everyone, be careful ‼ ️ At low tide, the water is covered in fish 🐡 and jellyfish. I even saw the female divers working, which was very inspiring 💪🏻
