Hengdian Three-Day Family Trip without Rushing

Purchased a three-day, two-night package at the Radisson Hotel, including hotel + all scenic area tickets for two adults and one child (1288 yuan, plus 420 yuan to upgrade to a Radisson business king room). Driving from Shanghai takes about three hours and forty-five minutes. Hotel: The room is quite large and the hygiene is good. Breakfast is quite accommodating for children; we exceeded 120cm but were not charged extra. The buffet breakfast is acceptable, standard for a hotel at this price point. Attractions: We visited Guangzhou Street, Dream Bund, Ming and Qing Palace Gardens, Qin Palace, Dream Valley, and the new Spring Garden of the Old Summer Palace. Each attraction has its own characteristics, all are very suitable for taking photos, and the entertainment projects are updated to keep up with the times, including 3D and 4D arrangements. If there are many people and you don't want to queue, you can also buy fast tickets, usually 30 yuan per person, which is incredibly cheap compared to Disney. Several popular attractions, such as Guangzhou Street and Dream Bund, have many food options. Especially Dream Bund, with its street of snacks, the taste is top-notch for a scenic area, and the prices are reasonable. However, the software hasn't kept up. The staff seem to have had no training before starting work, they know nothing when asked, and do not maintain order, leading to chaos. Especially during performances, if there are many people, it becomes a disaster scene. People scramble for seats, cut in line, snatch VIP tickets, stand up and block the view of those behind, shout and curse loudly... During this time, the staff do nothing but scan codes to collect money or silently watch the pushing crowd, zoning out. Notes: Hengdian, apart from the scenic areas, is basically a town with chaotic traffic order. For drivers used to following rules, it's definitely a hard mode, with random honking, lane changes without signaling, random parking, and some sections without lanes (pedestrians, motor vehicles, and non-motor vehicles mixed together). Additionally, there are no large restaurants outside the attractions, mostly small shops.
