    "Pretty impressed with the place! It’s huge and you can easily spend an entire day there. Great place to take kids as well, had no idea it had so many activities inside the park. There are quite a few food options and drinks stalls and vending machines around the park are abundant. I’d recommend checking out the show times around the park as there seem to be a lot of shows every day, several times throughout the day."

    "Ping An Financial Building is the second highest in the country, there is no problem with the scenery, so the high view is very good. I want to complain that the whole upstairs and downstairs are too slow. When we went on October 2, there were not many people, but the queues up and down the stairs were very slow. When I went upstairs, there was an elevator, and when I went downstairs, there were two elevators. In contrast, the Shanghai Center and Global Finance arranged great."
