    I've visited many gardens. The Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace, the Yonghe Garden. The Ge Garden, the He Garden. The Humble Administrator's Garden's current status, I think, is probably due to its cultural confidence; it's a culmination of cultural achievements. The others are probably just comparisons.

    Kids has most fun. Adults were tired from chasing them through the endless labyrinth!

    The teacher's explanation was excellent. I took my child there, and the explanation was very detailed. It had a different focus than the explanations I've had at other museums, and I learned a lot more.

    To capture the tranquil, picturesque Jiangnan landscape of Lingering Garden, it's recommended to arrive before it opens in the morning; we arrived before 7:30. After queuing for a few minutes, we were among the first visitors to enter. As expected of one of China's four most famous gardens, I highly recommend learning about Lingering Garden's history and the best photo spots before your visit.

    It was a bit overcast, and with winter in the air, it looked a little chilly. I arrived in the afternoon; parking was a bit tight nearby, but I could still find a spot. Ticket verification was easy. Tiger Hill is much larger than I expected. The advantage of the off-season is that there are far fewer people, allowing for a more leisurely stroll.

    To be honest, this attraction isn't very large in terms of area. But though small, it has everything you need. It's very clean, and there are quite a few activities to participate in. This place is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace. The vegetarian noodles at the temple are delicious, and the prices are reasonable. I was lucky enough to encounter a master giving away calligraphy. It was drizzling, and I chatted with the people around me while waiting in line, thinking about what kind of calligraphy I wanted. It was a very rewarding experience.

    It's great value for money, only 20 yuan during the promotion. However, it was very crowded. I arrived around 9 am, first went to see the fish area, then walked to the panda, tiger, and lion areas. They were all taking a nap and weren't very active.

    The Shanghai Museum, located in the bustling heart of Shanghai, is a large, comprehensive museum. It houses a vast collection of precious historical artifacts and works of art, ranging from ancient bronzes to modern paintings and calligraphy. The museum not only showcases the profound depth of Chinese culture but also reflects the historical evolution of Shanghai.

    The Huangpu River cruise offers stunning views of Shanghai's skyline. The blend of historic Bund architecture and futuristic Pudong towers is breathtaking, especially at night. A smooth, memorable way to see the city's iconic contrast. Highly recommended.

    Beautiful garden albeit a little small. The landscaping is beautiful. Good to visit if you’re only visiting Shanghai and not other cities’ gardens.
