    This is the first stop for kids. It's great value for money, with cheap tickets! It's also one of the must-see places in Chongqing, home to many giant pandas, a national treasure. Apparently, it has the largest number of giant pandas outside of the Chengdu breeding base. However, it's not very foot-friendly; you have to climb mountains to see the animals, which is probably a characteristic of Chongqing.

    Chongqing Happy Valley is quite fun, and even more kid-friendly than Shanghai's Happy Valley. The kids had a blast, and my girlfriends had a blast too. There's even a makeup area! The NPCs there are so pretty and cool! Highly recommended! Chongqing Happy Valley! Whether it's Halloween 🎃👻 or just any other time! Let's go!

    This magnificent national project, though not yet operational, is a testament to the arduousness of its construction and the sacrifices of the people—truly awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring. However, several photo spots occupy prime locations within the main scenic area, with people rushing in without queuing, claiming it's free or free of charge. This is very unpleasant. Hopefully, such a meaningful scenic spot won't be negatively impacted by these commercial tactics.

    The Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum, also known as the Chongqing Museum, was formerly the Southwest Museum, established in March 1951. The museum consists of five venues: the main building, the Chongqing Baiheliang Underwater Museum, the Chongqing Soong Ching Ling Memorial Hall, the Tushan Kiln Site, and the Chongqing Three Gorges Cultural Relics Science and Technology Protection Center. It has formed a distinctive collection series including "ancient human specimens, Three Gorges cultural relics, Ba-Yu bronzes, Han Dynasty cultural relics, Southwest ethnic minority cultural relics, anti-Japanese war cultural relics from the rear area, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and guqin (ancient Chinese stringed instruments)".

    Chongqing is a city filled with skyscrapers, so walking among the clouds must be a unique experience. Walking along the outer ring road is especially thrilling. There are also plenty of selfie booths along the way.

    This is a museum well worth a visit. The inscriptions on Baiheliang are intricate and interwoven, integrating literature, calligraphy, painting, and stone carving art. Here, you can not only appreciate calligraphy by famous masters of various dynasties in seal script, clerical script, running script, regular script, and cursive script, but also see minority languages. Free guided tours are also available to explain the millennia-old hydrological secrets related to the "stone fish."

    Two-day tickets are more cost-effective. We made sure to catch up on the parts we missed on the first day on the second day. The animals were interesting, and the caged vehicles were quite fun. There were pet feeding services (for a fee) at almost every animal spot. I suggest not feeding them carrots; the animals seemed sick of them. The giraffes weren't even interested in the leaves we bought because the zookeepers fed them in the morning. The alpacas and goats roaming around the elephant enclosure on the second day had little appetite by lunchtime. The rabbits in the rabbit enclosure didn't dare open their mouths because everyone was so enthusiastic, leaving carrots scattered everywhere without even looking at them. So, I sincerely advise against bringing carrots; the animals ate until they were very full. The most recommended entertainment is the Royal Circus. Other attractions aren't very friendly to children under 110cm; there's not much to do. The kids' favorite part was interacting with the animals, which the park did very well. Overall, it was a good experience.

    👍Recommended Activities: This aquarium isn't very large; you can easily see everything in two or three hours. The aquarium is filled with various kinds of small fish. You can see fish from all over the world, including cold-water, temperate, and tropical species, as well as jellyfish. There are some shows inside the aquarium; pay close attention to the show times. For example, there are mermaid shows in the underwater tunnel, and sea lion shows in the penguin enclosure. Check it out! Penguins, Kapibalas, clownfish, and sharks are especially popular with children. 🎟Tickets: Adult double ticket 185

    Children can tour the ship's decks, cabins, and various rooms, and there are also abundant textual and pictorial materials and various models, allowing them to gain a comprehensive understanding of the development history of my country's navy and the evolution of its weaponry.
