The fireworks and float parades in the evening are very exciting. There are also killer whales and dolphins performing programs, which must be attended, especially joy."

    "Take the children to the Shanghai Zoo during the summer vacation. The environment is good, the air is fresh, the animals are varied, lively and moving, and every animal area will be fed or performed. It is worth a visit for a full day. There are many snacks in the park, as well as various themed dining, clean and hygienic."

    "At 18:00, there were not many people, so I queued up ten minutes in advance. The first person to put in the venue was to bring pets, but because the fare was slightly higher, there were not many people in the three halls throughout the whole process. You can stay at will and watch it quietly. At the atrium around 8:30, I saw various cats and owners. Very friendly and cute, the experience is much better than during the day, the only downside is that the staff of the photo printing machine left more than half an hour in advance and was not very responsible. The cat claw machine on the second floor forgot to take a photo. I don’t know why it’s easy to forget on the second floor."

    "Amazing Experience at all ages. Originally chosen as an alternative for the pouring rain outside the visit turned out to be a true highlight of the day. The 155m glass tunnel - learned it was the longest of its kind globally where equally impressive as the rest of the Aquarium. Plan 2 hrs. It is well worth it."

    "The zoo is very large, you can take the park sightseeing bus (15 yuan per person) to get on and off at any time, animals are basically on time "to get off work" 😆 weekends and holidays and special feeding and other performance projects, each animal has a very detailed related introduction, convenient for friends of all sizes to understand the knowledge. 👍 There are also many restaurants in the park that provide catering services. There is its own parking lot near the park, 8 yuan an hour. If you travel by subway, the Shanghai Zoo Station of Line 10 is the gate of the park."

    "Mid-Autumn Festival, there are not too many people, not so crowded. The price is right, the content is quite rich, and the stage construction is also remarkable. If time is tight, it is enough to see a thousand love. The night view effect is very good, my mother likes it very much."

    "In a blink of an eye, the new museum of Shanghai Natural Museum has also been open for many years. The last time I went there was almost 2 years ago. The half price discount of the tourism festival was particularly high. There were quite a lot of people. The 20 yuan guide was still worth renting. There was no need to hear it like that old guide. Interested can be directly clicked and heard repeatedly. The environment is still very good, but some interactive equipment has been damaged, the buttons have not responded, the touch screen has not responded, and there are many rubber stickers on the sharp corners of the glass that have also fallen off, and some wallpaper has also been damaged. When there are many people or children running, they feel a lot of safety hazards. Hope the maintenance can keep up, overall is still very good."

    "Guangfulin's scenery is beautiful and the underwater museum is very special. The Duoyun Bookstore in the scenic area is also worth visiting. It is very comfortable and healing to read in an antique environment. I look forward to coming to Guangfulin next time!"
