Reviews from Real Guests:

Ramdan993: Panshan Mountain is located in Tianjin's Ji County and is known as one of the most amazing tourists destinations in Tianjin, particularly well-renown are the "Five Peaks" and "Eight Stones" as well as the "San Pan" which are the mountain peaks located within the scenic park. The fantastic peaks and breathtaking scenery bought the emperors of Ming and Qing Dynasties to Pan Shan. The famous Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty used to tour the spot for over thirty times and remarked: "the beauty of these mountains makes the Yangtze superfluous", the emperor even went so far as to build a palace in this region, unfortunately the palace was later burnt down during a war. 

K-TravelMuse: The natural scenery of Mt. Panshan is covered in rocks, streams, pine trees and vast greenness. Green slopes are famed for their jade pines and rock formations shaped into fantastic shapes by centuries of wind and water. More than 320 kinds of trees and shrubs have been found in the vicinity, these trees make the mountain a natural botanical garden.

Yuliia V.: An amazing place to go with the whole family. A family-friendly site with hundreds of species of marine animals and fish. It's worth visiting both for educational purposes and just for fun. I most liked the polar bears and jellyfish, but this Ocean Park has many more creatures to offer for visitors to see.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Trip.com User: The landmark of Tenjin is also called Tenjin Eye, which is a basic taxi fare from Tenjin Station. If you go on a weekend or holiday evening, you have to line up long. It's very nice to see with the night view at night rather than go during the day. There are three big ways to see, but you can take a Ferris wheel or see it at a certain place where you can see the Ferris wheel night view, or take a cruise ship, and watch the Ferris wheel night view with the wonderful night view around you. Recommended

Trip.com User: This is really nice to see during the afternoon, because you will see the are and also get to experience the lights at night ❤ Only disadvantages are that they make you sit with other strangers and its really awkward to get photos or have a proper conversation and enjoy your self. Really hate that part!!!

The structure and performances of the theme park express the theme and style of Russia and are grand and spectacular.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Yuliia V.: This aircraft theme park was made around the aircraft carrier originally called Kiev, made in the Soviet Union. It is a great place for a military experience and a unique museum, there is no other aircraft carriers in the world available for visiting. Around the ship there is a park where visitors can buy Russian products and food, souvenirs and clothes. One can get there by taxi from the closest subway station (about 30 minute ride by car).

Yuliia V.: Going there was an adventure of a lifetime. Where else can you see a huge military aircraft carrier available for tourist visiting? Walking inside and going to the deck is not the only thing the site has to offer. There is a themed Russian village around with many ideas for children, traditional restaurants and a market with Russian food. It was a great place for spending a weekend, trying new food and seeing something special
