Trip.com It&rsquo;s very good to buy tickets. It&rsquo;s very convenient to scan the code with an electronic ticket after issuing the ticket, and there is no need to make an appointment in advance. The midway number is very fun, it is worth going, and my dad is very happy. The scenery by the sea is good, and it takes less than 5 minutes to walk to the statue of the kiss of the century.

Overall it is good here. But it is a bit different from Hang Lung. Generally speaking, there will be a lot fewer people on weekends or holidays, and there will be fewer performance programs. Some facilities will not open in case of rain or bad weather. Anyway, it depends on your choice.

San Diego Zoo

If your kids have a fascination with animals, this park is a good place to immerse them in a world of wildlife and adventure. While parking can occasionally present a challenge, the walk to the main entrance is quite manageable and convenient.To enhance your experience, I highly recommend purchasing tickets online in advance, as this can save you valuable time and spare you the hassle of waiting in line. Additionally, the park is accommodating for families.
