Shanghai & Henan: A Family Adventure in China (Malaysia Style!)
Terima kasih to everyone who helped me with information for my trip to China! I want to share my experience, especially for families with kids (around 6 years old and up) planning a getaway.
I spent 7 days in Shanghai with my 8-year-old, followed by a trip to Henan.
Shanghai Adventures
From Pudong Shanghai Airport, we took the super speedy Maglev train (only 8 minutes!) into the city. We arrived at Longyan Road station and changed to the metro to reach our hotel.
Must-See Shanghai Spots:
-
The Bund
-
Nanjing Road
-
Xintiandi
-
Tianzifang
-
Yu Garden
-
Disneyland Resort
(This place is HUGE and tiring! Maybe not the best for grandparents. Perfect for the kids, though!)
-
Paradox Museum
(Easy to find on Google. Super fun! Buy tickets on the spot.)
-
Shanghai Astronomy Museum
(Located in New Pudong, take Line 16 to Dishui Lake station. From there, grab a taxi to the museum for around 20 yuan.)
-
Shanghai Wild Animal Park
(Also in New Pudong, Line 16 to Dishui Lake station.) Get to see adorable pandas and a fantastic animal show – 5 stars! It's about an hour from central Shanghai by Metro.
