Shanghai Natural History Museum

I absolutely love museums so when I finally got to visit the Natural History Museum, I was kind of excited! Entry to the museum is 30RMB and you purchase tickets through WeChat at the entrance. Once inside you can easily spend 2-3 hours just wandering. The museum exhibits are huge! The largest area is taken up by the animal models which ranges from dinosaurs to under water creatures. Some models are animatronic so be ready to hear the cry of an animal. There’s also a butterfly exhibit inside the main area, from the outside of this room you can see all of the colours and styles of different butterflies. History of animal life is below, just keep following the main route and you’ll see every part. The gift shop is pretty interesting, magnets and gems are available to buy as well as stuffed animal teddies. #urbanexplorer #history #animals #naturalhistory #shanghai #naturalwonders

A day out in the wild

Entrance Fee: CNY 40 An adult can bring a child under 1.3 meters (4.2 feet) for free. Location: Hongqiao Road, Changning District, Shanghai We visited the Zoo during winter time sadly the panda are sleeping the whole time. The place is clean and organized worth your time to visit here, has a lots of animals that i have never seen before and has many activities for the kids and families, like feeding the animals. The place is huge i recommend you to rent the electric car if you want to check the whole place because walking is very tiring i think we paid 20rmb per person they will give you the ticket and you have to show to the driver every time you want to ride again and go to another side of the park. They also have a small stall shop in the corner where you can buy some snacks like hotdog sandwich and drinks. We will definitely come back again. #themepark #zoo #awesomepic #naturalwonders #shanghaitravel

Shanghai Forest Getaway Chong Ming

Address - 2089 Beiyan Highway, Chongming Ambiance/Facilities - amusement center (pool, table tennis, ktv) restaurant, cafe, function hall, garden venue, lake, cabin rooms Highlights - oxygen bar Avg. Price per Person - 720 Rating - 9/10 Not being able to travel away from the city, Chongming Island was the closest destination that took us away from the hustle and bustle. The accomodation included breakfast with a wide variety of local food. The restaurant also featured a good selection of fresh food good for big family gathering. The La Foresta cafe at building 5 is easily accessible by an electric shuttle by request that comes in 3-5 minutes. The stillness and serenity of walking through the forest trees was great to de-stress and connect to nature. #momentsmission #naturalwonders#islandtravel#christmasgiveaway

海湾

#christmasgiveaway#mapletrees #decembertravel #nyedestinations #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #naturalwonders My home and my favorite place in Shanghai is this remote southern district of the big megalopolis, called FengXian. There’s an old hotel in 100 meters from the sea, the place where I spent almost four enjoyable years. There’s a relatively new monastery with a pagoda and a wooden bridge, I still go there once a month when I want to unwind after work week. There’s a nice restaurant by the river dam, the one my friends call ‘Brunch Place’, with a good local cuisine. There are also an international kite flying field and a motocross circuit. ... and many other places I’ll mention in a different post.

Morning till night…

Oriental Pearl Tower is one of my favorite tower in Shanghai! We went here in the morning if you want to see the Amazing view of Shanghai from Morning, sunset till night! This the best place to go. They also have a mini roller coaster 3D inside and Coca Cola Museum inside the tower which is really cool! For those who have a fear of heights there is another option for you and I highly recommend to try the 351m space capsule at the end you will see the beautiful city lights! We will definitely come back again hope to see the beautiful tower again. #unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #naturalwonders

We will definitely come back again. #easylife#uniquelodging#beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#palace#eventcelebration#themepark

One night Sta(y)nd

It is a damn mixed feeling to express about this amazing weekend that we get to stay in Changxing district of Shanghai. Although being separated by waters, this island 🏝️ town is never short of all aspects of Shanghai. Be it the coffee shops ☕, green lush nature, and innumerable cycling paths; this place has got everything for you. One more best thing is, the homestay rooms with the backyard bamboo 🎍 gardens. Bamboo known for its deep rooted nature, this particular homestay that we stayed gave us a deeper connection towards nature; which I usually miss in Shanghai. The night mode of this place is simply amazing and a total bliss 😇 #weekendgetaway #shanghailife #café#historicculture#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#culturalattraction#themepark#lakes

On the track !

Shanghai is never short of 🏞️ parks, providing perfect ambiance for your morning walk and evening relaxation. Well, the nearest weekend getaway spot is another huge park in the geography of island 🏝️ I would say. Yes, crossing the Huangpu river and surrounded in all sides by water 💦 Chongming island has so much greenery 💚 to fulfill your nature fetish. Again, we ended up in one of the nice parks there playing 🎴 out all the amusements meant for children 😂. One such fun thing, is little train 🚂 that goes around happily with no guard on the track haha. I was almost caught in the middle of the 🛣️ rail track, when the train came 🙈 (see 4th pic). #shanghaiweekend #shanghailife #naturalwonders#culturalattraction#hiking#themepark#nationalpark#lakes

A Quick Trip To Shanghai!

Shanghai, China's largest city, offers many exciting sightseeing opportunities for travelers. Things to do here include to: 1. See the Views from the Oriental Pearl Tower. A must-visit while in Shanghai is the 468-meter-tall Oriental Pearl Radio and TV Tower. 2. Take a Stroll along Shanghai's Promenade: The Bund. It's particularly popular among tourists - the area has retained a European feel, as it was once the location of the city's International Settlement. It's located in Pudong-Park on the east bank of the Huangpu River. 3. To be captivated by the beauty of the Miracle Garden. This garden is a miracle by itself . ... A flower garden in the midst of a desert , Unbelievable, it is a magnificent place for families to visit . The flowers are arranged in the shapes of animals , aircraft and other things . 4. Visit Shanghai Disney Resort. This nearly 1,000-acre site in the city's Pudong district is home to the Shanghai Disneyland Park, the hub of all the action and the real reason some 10 million people visit the resort each year. #springblossoms#loveflowers#naturalwonders#culturalattractions#themeparks#nationalpark

Gorgeous area!!

Getting There - Subway station (Yuyuan garden + about 10mins walk) or if you’re not too far, the area is very bike friendly! Attractions - Beautiful area and yuyuan old street next to it! Food & Restaurants - None when you’re in the garden area but plenty once you reach yuyuan old street. A lot of fun and it’s absolutely beautiful! Shopping -  #naturalwonders#summervacation#urbanexplorer

Jingnan Park in Nanyangjing Road

For a weekend stroll or few hours trip, you can visit Jingnan Park. The green area in this side of Shanghai is welcoming to spend your afternoon. Jingnan park is a popular spot for locals, either for children to go biking, jogging around it or couples spot to spend time together. Green area is beautiful, open to the public. There’s a kindergarten and school nearby, as well as many housing complexes. Therefore, this park becomes a popular garden to enjoy a breath of nature near by. Had visited this place couple years ago, for a small picnic with friends. However, on my visit today found the park closed due to renovations. I suppose the park will be even nicer once reopens. Nevertheless, the park being close doesn’t prevent many to jog/bike around the block. Even under the rain. 📍 Yushan Road No.850 (Nanyangjing Road Yushan Road), Pudong #park #garden #criskotsu #naturaloxygenbar #naturetheraphy #natureshots #shanghaistyle #shanghai #picnic #jog #trees #naturalwonders#roadtrip#summervacation#urbanexplorer

Welcome to the Fantasy Flower Bloomings

Getting There - recommended by car or Line 8 to SHIguang and call a taxi later Attractions - It's the best season for Hydrangea blooming in May. At that time the place is like a wonderland. Bring your camera and catch this fantastic moment! There are also a few amusement facilities in the park. A good place for family or friend gatherings. Food & Restaurants - there are some small shops in the park, but few restaurant in the park or nearby. Better to prepare some food and have a picnic! #themeparks#naturalwonders#summervacation#urbanexplorer

Chongming Forest Cabins Escape the City

Address - 2089 Beiyan Highway, Chongming Ambiance/Facilities - Nature Rich/Indoor Pool, Cedar tree Forest, Lakeside Villas and Restaurant, Function Hall, KTV, Table Tennis, Shuttle Service, Restaurant, Coffee/Bar Highlights - Forest Walk/A walk away from Dongping National Forest Avg. Price per Person - 800/person Rating - 10/10 We couldn't travel home and figured we should go somewhere that offers tranquility and get away from our urban life yet not travel too far. Traveling with a child is not easy especially with public transport. So we got off at Line 1 Wenshui Station after an hour on the metro. Grabbed a quick lunch at a nearby mall for 80 RMB and rushed to the next bus going to South Gate Pier Chongming. Online sources says the bus was gonna take 1.5 hours but we ended up sitting on it for 3 hours. An hour across Hengsha Island and 2 more to South Gate. Indeed Chongming is the 3rd largest island in China. Whew!!! We finally got there and settled in our Lake View Forest Cabin. The smell of cedar was so refreshing. The following day we visited the Dongping National forest after our buffet breakfast. Everything was getting prepped for the Flower Festival. Definitely coming back for that season! The food was great 💯! There were not a lot of restaurants nearby and the hotel food had a lot of variety from locally sourced ingredients. A food set menu was on sale that time but it was a pain to ensure it was available 😢. However food was always yum! Vending machines made up for lack of convenience store and the hotel snack was fairly priced we just ate them all. hehehe I love unique accomodations and this one is a winner! I am so happy we found this thanks to Trip.com! The booking was quite a breeze too! #uniquelodging#unforgettableexperiences#nationalpark#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#roadtrip#maydaytrip#urbanexplorer

An oasis in the city centre. Travel through time by taking a walk in Yu Garden, a traditional Classical Gardens of Suzhou. These gardens standardised many of the key features of classical Chinese garden design with constructed landscapes mimicking natural scenery of rocks, hills and rivers with strategically located pavilions and pagodas. The elegant aesthetics and subtlety of these scholars' gardens and their delicate style and features are often imitated by various gardens. #newyearstrip#happynewyear#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#awesomepic#naturalwonders#urbanexplorer #LightTheCity

💙 If you are travelling to Shanghai, Ocean Aquarium is very hard to miss. It is located just near the Pearl and attracts loads of tourists. To get inside you need a bring your health code, a mask, and, of course, your great mood 🙌 💙 The journey srarts in the hallway, where the exhibition always changes. The time I visited there were tiny ocean crabs and anemones. Going further you will discover many separated aquariums with tropical fish, reptiles and amphibians. Aquarium includes a long tunnel that takes visitors through a coastal reef, open ocean, a kelp cave, shark cove (those sharks are just huge!), and a coral reef, and they say that it is one of the longest such tunnels in the world. BUT it is a bit hot inside the tunnel due to many visitors, so you'd better have a fan with you. 💙 My fav part is a huge #aquarium with giant #stingrays. Can watch them forever😍 #jellyfish is quite nice too. 💙 The gift shop is way overpriced, so if you are #travelwithkids, try to walk through it as fast as possible, cause toys are white nice and kids want the all. 💙 Cafeteria inside it just average, so it is better not to eat there. There are many nice restaurants just across the road at Superbrand mall. #naturalwonders#urbanexplorer

we went to Bubble Hotel of Fairy Island at Chongming island, Shanghai. It is a natural forest park. There is a AV car to drive around the big park. There is also some lake which can do some fishing. The bubble room is so nice, there is a living room, bed room and great bathroom. It is so clean and fresh air inside the bubble. This place is so great for family and school outings there are many activities at late evening and night. We recommended to try it once if you live in Shanghai #naturalwonders
