    The shows in the parks are of exceptionally high quality, far beyond what we’ve seen in other ocean parks abroad. The kids had a great time enjoying the various rides, and entering the park was effortless—just a quick passport scan at the gate. With no need to queue for tickets, the whole experience was smooth and convenient.

    The procrastination patient finally made up the comments before the end of the Egyptian exhibition. At the Egyptian exhibition in August last year, the afternoon session of the appointment arrived at Shangbo more than an hour in advance. It was better to be lucky to park in the parking lot next to it, and then go in an hour in advance. Before the visit, I revisited the entire Egyptian history. It was really interesting to follow the curators to take a seat to the Pharaohs with a guide. There is no gold mask of Tutankhamen. I have no sense of Tutankhamen. More curious is his radical reform father Akennaton and beautiful mother Naphrodite, as well as Abu Simbe Temple and Sun Festival wonders, especially after modern experts protected the temple of the Sun Festival delayed a day of details, Again, I am impressed by the wisdom and creativity of ancient Egyptians. Personal advice is that if you only want to see the exhibits, audiences may be disappointed, if you want to better understand history and culture through the exhibition, there may be some gains.

    Such a wonderful exhibition 💕 I absolutely loved it!! It was immersive and engaging. The museum was packed with information that was both fascinating and interesting for everyone that is interested in space, physics and science. The food was good too. An absolute must visit.

    Went during the Christmas season. The park is big and nicely organised. It wasn’t very crowded when we went there so we enjoyed quite a few games. But it really was more suitable for families with kids. 80% of the games weee more for kids. Overall a nice place. But it was really far.

    Visited the zoo and had a decent experience overall. The grounds aren’t super green and the giant panda was asleep, but the red panda totally stole the show — super active, adorable, and definitely the highlight of my visit. Easy to get to, affordable, and worth a stop if you’re nearby and want a relaxed couple of hours.

    One of the best amusement parks in China. Everything is here. Lots of entertainment for both children and adults. A wonderful show (parade) in the evening. Queues for slides and entertainment are not big. There is a free bus from the metro station and back. My personal rating is 10 out of 10!!!
