Planetariums

Located on the shore of Dishui Lake in Lingang, the Shanghai Planetarium officially opened to the public on July 18, 2021. The exhibition hall has a construction area of 38,000 square meters. The main building imitates the orbit of celestial bodies in a beautiful spiral shape. The circular skylight, inverted dome and dome theater form a landmark "three-body" structure, which jointly interprets the laws of celestial movement. The exhibition hall has the vision of "shaping a complete view of the universe". The main exhibition is divided into three parts: "Home", "Universe" and "Journey", which stimulates people's curiosity and encourages people to feel the starry sky and understand the universe.The completion and opening of the Shanghai Planetarium marks a new stage in the development of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum into a super-large comprehensive science and technology museum cluster that integrates science and technology museums, natural history museums, and planetariums. It will further demonstrate Shanghai's urban soft power, promote high-quality development of the museum industry in the new era, and better meet the people's growing spiritual and cultural needs.homeLocated on 1FIn the boundless universe, we live in a corner, building a warm home on a blue marble.

See the space at Shanghai S&T Museum

Located near by the Dishui lake in Shanghai Pudong district,The Shanghai Science & Technology Museum is China's premier astronomical science museum, where you can explore the mysteries of the universe, get known to the origin of life and how we look at the sky. It’s a little far away from the downtown, which is suggested to take metro line 16 from Longyang road to Dishui Lake, total in 1h16mins. This museum is perfect for family visiting, especially for teen children, since the Apollo moon landing, human beings have been using their own efforts to recognize and understand the unknown world. Children here would know the exploration of the starry space, Perhaps one day, they may truly connect with life outside the world, and then we can confidently say ‘Hello, welcome to the world of human beings’. #musem #nasa #shangai #親子好去處 #內地通關 #travel

Finally Checking Out THE Shanghai Planetarium

Excited about this place ever since they announced they were building it, finally able to purchase tickets and wow..the crowds… It is a branch of Shanghai Science & Technology Museum so it is expected to have a very educational flow throughout their exhibits. All signs are bilinguals so it helps, too! Overall impressive display of astronomical science exhibits and will be more enjoyable with less crowd. There’s not much else around the area, so can easily make it a day trip. 2-3hrs inside the planetarium and maybe a cab ride to Dishui Lake area to take a stroll along the lake, just to make the hours spent on the metro ride worth it :) Tips: when buying the tickets through their Wechat page (foreigners can use passport ID), remember to also book the ‘movie ticket’. It’s limited to 50 seats per show. Getting There - Line16 Dishui Lake stop + 10mins walk. Attractions - planetarium. Science exhibition. Hotels - not necessary. Can easily make it a day trip. Food & Restaurants - only have 2 cafe & restaurants inside the planetarium, no restaurant nearby (unless you’re willing to take a cab, there’s a New Zealand restaurant called Kiwiana not too far). Shopping - there’s souvenirs shop inside the planetarium. #planetarium #shanghai #shanghaitrip #shanghailife #dishuilake

Worth the drive out of the city

Getting tickets for the museum is the most difficult part of the visit. Weekend tickets sold out within 4 minutes of them going live on a Saturday morning. However, it is very cheap at only 20rmb. Parking at the space museum was not easy when we visited. There are several above ground parking lots and we had to park around a 10 minute walk away from the museum, however, it was free. Inside the museum Is a great experience. It is well thought out and lots to see and learn. There are many interactive exhibits and some great lighting effects. There is also lots of English to help understand them. The café on the 2nd floor gets really busy, we visited at 11am on a Saturday morning and just managed to find a seat. We returned an hour later and left after seeing a queue around 30 people long. This is one of the best museums in Shanghai and is well worth the drive and weekend morning waiting to get a ticket.

My child has been to many venues, and this one is the most popular!

⛩️ *★˚ The Shanghai Planetarium is truly world-class and amazing! You must come! 🖼️ Tickets Follow the "Shanghai Planetarium" official account ⚠️ Reservations are usually open 3 days in advance (including the day of visit) at 9:30 am, CNY 30 per person; free admission groups also need to make a reservation. ⏰ Remember to set an alarm 🌤 Exhibition reservations Please note! You must enter the planetarium before you can make a reservation for the day's exhibition, so be sure to do your homework in advance and see which exhibition your child is most interested in, as each person can only make one reservation at a time! 🔅🔅🔅 Fly Over the Galaxy: The most popular and difficult to book, 8-minute film, height restriction of 1.1 meters or more (we booked this time, similar to a 4D cinema, as if you were in a spaceship) 🔅Optical Planetarium: 5 minutes 🔅If Theater: 9 minutes 🔅Mars Mission: 30 minutes, height restriction of 1.5 meters or more 🔅Curious Planet: 45 minutes (from the outside it looks a bit like a naughty castle) 🔅Wangshu Observatory: 20 minutes 🔅Xihe Solar Tower: 30 minutes 🌤 Dome movie: CNY 40 per person, must be booked after purchasing a ticket; "Sky", "Time Travel", "Invisible Universe" 🌤 Exhibition halls The main exhibition area of the Shanghai Planetarium is divided into three parts: "Home", "Universe", and "Journey". The "Home" exhibition area is my child's favorite, and I personally think it is the most impressive exhibition area, with Fly Over the Galaxy and the Optical Planetarium. 🍱 Food There is a restaurant on B1, but the price is a bit high; it is best to bring your own food, there are many benches in the corridor where you can sit down and rest and eat. 📝 Collect stamps: I bought a small notebook in the museum for CNY 18, and you can collect stamps in the museum, there are all kinds of cute meteorite stamps, children like them, but there seems to be a time limit for collecting meteorite stamps (seems to be before 3 pm, I can't remember) 🚗🚗 The Shanghai Planetarium is very far from the city center, in the Lingang area, near Haichang Ocean Park, so these two places can be arranged together!

Shanghai Planetarium: A guide to taking your kids to explore the treasures of the universe!

We finally managed to check in at the extremely popular and hard-to-get-ticket Shanghai Planetarium! If you make a reservation during non-holidays, it is relatively easy to get tickets. For children who are curious about the world, the planetarium is a treasure trove of space exploration! There are a wide variety of celestial body models and mysterious meteorite samples. Children can directly feel the charming and mysterious atmosphere of the universe, as if they were in the wonderful world of the universe. We stayed in the planetarium for 5 and a half hours, and were reluctant to leave even when it closed. This love for the unknown is so touching! 📍Address: No. 380 Lingang Avenue, Pudong New Area 🚗Transportation: If you drive, there is a parking lot in the museum, but parking spaces may be tight during holidays 🚇Take Metro Line 16 to Dishuihu Station, and walk a few minutes after exiting the station 🕐Opening hours: 09:30-16:00 (no entry after 15:00, closed on Mondays) 🎫Ticket price: 30 yuan for adults, free for children under 6 years old. Tickets are released 3 days in advance, and the ticket release time is 9:30. ✅A must-visit photo-taking spot for internet celebrities! ! 💠Time Tunnel (Universe Exhibition Area on the second floor): Don’t wear too dark clothes, as they will blend in with the background. Wearing white will look good 💠Sun and Earth in the Homeland on the first floor: The Earth, Moon and Sun form the “Three Bodies” that we are most familiar with, and are also the most important protagonists of our “Homeland”. Don’t forget to take a silhouette photo in front of the huge Sun. 💠Interstellar Travel: The corridor from the "Home" exhibition hall to the "Universe" exhibition hall is the most sci-fi place in the entire planetarium - Interstellar Travel. Taking pictures here is very dreamy. 💠The most popular camera position on the second floor is the black hole of the universe: the planetarium constructs a black hole with a pitch-black twisted door. I took a photo standing in front of the door and there was no sense of incongruity, as if a black hole was going to suck me away in the next second. 💠The glass curtain wall from January to December has dates that scroll in a loop, so you can snap a photo of your birthday number. 💠The lunar space station on the second floor is also very photogenic. Looking down at the earth from this area is very spectacular. 📸Photography spots: The most popular photo spots are the big ball on B1 and the sun and earth on 1F [Home]. If you want to see no one, I suggest you go straight to one of these two places as soon as the doors open, and wait until there are fewer people before closing to go to the other one. There is also an interstellar corridor in the 2F [Universe] exhibition hall, where you can take silhouette photos, and an Einstein classroom in [Universe]. The black hole tunnel in the Universe The slogan wall at the exit of the Journey exhibition hall: "The starry sky is vast and exploration is endless" You can take a bird's-eye view of the internal structure of the venue on the 3rd floor The white spiral staircase at the entrance of the cultural and creative store, etc.

Shanghai Planetarium July 7

The dome theater in the Shanghai Planetarium has an inner diameter of 23 meters and an outer diameter of 30 meters. Half of the spherical building is suspended above the ground, and is connected to the concrete shell below by 6 support points on the side of the sphere. Between the sphere and the shell, a ring is formed, allowing sunlight to shine into the interior through the ring, forming a "solar eclipse" on the ground inside. The interior of the sphere is equipped with an 8K resolution dome projection system, advanced laser and stage performance systems, and is used to play various films. Located above the main entrance of the planetarium, the second-floor exhibition hall of the main exhibition adopts a cantilever structure, with a cantilever distance of more than 40 meters and a span of more than 60 meters. It is supported by steel shear walls on both sides, and is equipped with 10 1-ton tuned mass dampers to eliminate the vibration at the end of the cantilever. The inclination angle of the round hole corresponds to the altitude angle of the sun, and the sunlight passing through the "round hole" forms a light spot below, which moves in the square and reflection pool as time passes, forming a simple sundial with the special ground paving.

The architectural design also highlights the theme of the astronomical galaxy by connecting with the urban ecology. The exterior of the planetarium features a large number of curves, and the landscape area outside the main building introduces spiral greenery and walkways that extend naturally outward, forming an organic connection with the surrounding "Starry Sky" park, symbolizing the spiral arms of the galaxy. The proportions of the planetarium's sphere and Dishui Lake have been intentionally adjusted to reflect the relationship between the Earth and the Sun. Themed exhibition areas: Home, Universe, Journey, China Asks the Heavens, Mars, Curious Planet, Meteorite Specimens, Astronomical Artifacts.

The Shanghai Planetarium has always been the dream place for little astronomy enthusiast Daan, so we set off. Lingang is really a good place to daydream.

Shanghai Planetarium has always been a dream place for little astronomy enthusiast Daan, so we set off❤️ Lingang is really a place suitable for daydreaming, Dishui Lake is beautiful, it is a good place for weekends in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and the planetarium is really suitable for every child to come and see❤️Next is the landing strategy, nanny-level😄⬇️ 🌟Ticket reservation It was hard to get a ticket before, and it is probably the same in summer vacation Follow "Shanghai Planetarium" click Visit-Ticket Purchase Channel-Last Planetarium-Visiting Ticket, pay attention, make an appointment three days in advance, open for reservation at 9:00 in the morning, set an alarm⏰Adults 30 yuan/person (free for those over 70 and below 6, but reservations must be made in advance) 🌟Transportation Copy the homework of those who take their children out of town by high-speed rail like me⬇️ Don't go to Hongqiao Station, Shanghai Station is closer, pay attention to buying tickets‼ ️ Two modes of exiting the high-speed rail⬇️ 1️⃣Take a taxi to Longyang Station, take Line 16 and get off at Dishui Lake, and you are basically there 2️⃣Take the subway for the whole journey🚇Line 1, transfer to Line 2, and transfer to Line 16 Of course, you can also take a taxi directly from the high-speed rail, the price is 300+10+ by subway, and the time cost is the same. During peak hours, the subway is faster, it depends on personal choice❤️ Ps: There is a long-stop bus at Longyang Station, which arrives in 5 stops, fast, no nonsense😄 🌟Guide to the exhibition area of the planetarium Divided into home, universe, and journey Home on the first floor🌍I recommend going to see it, flying over the Milky Way and the optical planetarium are here, it is very photogenic, just take photos with your mobile phone indoors, the atmosphere is absolutely amazing. The second floor has a 1:1 space core module that children love, where they can experience the daily life of astronauts. Children can't refuse it at all, and the experience is good. 🌟 Various exhibitions, research and study, summer camp activities. We participated in the curiosity exploration camp of the planetarium and Lego, which is fun and educational. While learning astronomical knowledge, we built our own space base. It's fun to play with the building blocks we like in the planetarium. There are special teachers who explain and teach, and the class can also be very happy. Mothers can leave their children and have afternoon tea by themselves ☕️😄. Let's share the high-quality places for children to go out together😄

Nine days and eight nights for two majors and three minors in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai

Day 1: From Shenyang to Hangzhou, take the subway from the airport directly to the hotel near Longxiangqiao subway station, then take a taxi to visit the Silk Museum, and make an appointment at any time. At 4 o'clock, we took a taxi to my grandma's house opposite the Broken Bridge and had dinner. The second picture was taken at the hotel. As far as the scenic spot is concerned, the taste was okay. After dinner, we walked along the Broken Bridge and the residual snow to the Yuewang Temple to watch "The Most Reminiscent of Hangzhou". It is worth watching. The earlier you make a reservation, the better the seat will be. See Figure 4. The next day: The half-day trip to West Lake arranged by Ctrip is directly operated by Ctrip and there is no additional consumption. They also provided some tea and made round fans. We visited the Yuewang Temple again. In the afternoon, we took the high-speed train to Suzhou and checked into a B&B on Pingjiang Road, which is very close to the Humble Administrator’s Garden and Suzhou Museum. We visited Pingjiang Road and Guanqian Street in the evening. (The B&B environment is slightly worse but the location is excellent) Day 3: Book Humble Administrator’s Garden tickets with a guide on Ctrip. Be sure to find a guide, otherwise it will be like visiting a park. Just outside the south gate of the Humble Administrator's Garden is the Suzhou Museum. (You need to make an appointment in advance.) You can rent a guide at the door. The museum is not very big and can be visited in two hours. We had lunch on the way back to the B&B, it was delicious. The weather was too hot, so I took my baby back to the B&B to take a nap. I went to Qili Shantang in the evening. There were so many people there, so I decided to visit Pingjiang Road again. Day 4: In the morning, we visited Hanshan Temple in one hour. Suzhou’s small bridges, flowing water, pink walls and black tiles are really eye-catching. There are many beauties taking photos on Pingjiang Road. The weather was too hot and I didn’t want to bother my kids so I didn’t take any pictures, which is a little regretful. In the afternoon, we took a bus to a B&B near Shanghai Disneyland. (Advantages of the B&B: pick-up and drop-off, nice environment and swimming pool. Disadvantages: without supporting facilities, you can only eat instant noodles when you come back from Disneyland.) Day 5: Departure from Disneyland at 7 o’clock. I want to say that it’s a bit too much to post a separate article. Day 6: Check into a hotel-style B&B very close to Nanjing Road and the Bund at noon. The location is excellent and the environment is very good. The most important thing is that you can see the Oriental Pearl Tower from the room. I went to the Natural History Museum in the afternoon. It’s worth taking your children to see it. Be sure to rent an interpreter. The Zhending Chicken we had for dinner is really something Northeastern people can’t get used to. Day 7: Planetarium, I didn’t get a ticket, so I bought a study group ticket from Ctrip. It’s money well spent. Recommend the planetarium. Day 8: Shanghai Museum in the morning (reservation in advance) Fudan University in the afternoon, enter directly by swiping your ID card. Had dinner at Fudan Beiyuan Canteen. (Ride a shared bicycle on campus) Super convenient. Day 9: Visit the Imperial City Temple➕After dinner in Yu Garden, go straight to the airport 🔚 (I visit the well-known shops on the Bund and Nanjing Road every night, so I won’t talk about it separately)

Family Excursion Recommendation! Detailed Guide for a Three-Day, Two-Night Stay in Shanghai Lingang

If you're yearning for a vacation without leaving Shanghai, then I must introduce you to Lingang! I spent a delightful weekend there with my mother and child, spanning over three days and two nights, and discovered a plethora of enjoyable activities! 🚗 Our itinerary was as follows: Day 1: From downtown Shanghai to Lingang Jinjiang International Resort Hotel - Afternoon tea at the hotel - Lingang Science and Technology Library Day 2: Swimming at the hotel - Shanghai Planetarium - Beachcombing Day 3: Dripping Lake - Maritime Museum 🏨 About the hotel: We stayed at the newly opened Lingang Jinjiang International Resort Hotel! Its location is superb, nestled between the convention center and the Science and Technology Library, making it incredibly convenient to reach various attractions. My mother was particularly pleased with this choice. 🌸 Upon entering, we were greeted by a luxurious and lofty lobby design - truly a sight to behold. 🌸 We booked an apartment-style suite🏡, which is perfect for family outings like ours! The room features a spacious❗️spacious❗️spacious❗️ two-bedroom and one-living-room design, complete with an open kitchen and dining area, allowing everyone to enjoy a harmonious atmosphere while maintaining privacy. The room was cozy, giving us a homely feeling, equipped with high-end toiletries, a Dyson hairdryer, and a specially designed children's world that delighted my child to no end! 🌸 You must visit their swimming pool! It's extravagantly decorated! Not only does it have a regular pool, but also a children's play pool, a massage pool, and more! The water temperature is also just right. 🌸 We sampled their afternoon tea and dinner, rest assured, everything was delicious and satisfying. ⛱️ Fun activities include: 1⃣️ Lingang Science and Technology Library: Located right next to the hotel, it's super convenient to visit. This library, devoid of any physical books, houses many technologically advanced interactive exhibits, offering education through entertainment. 2⃣️ Shanghai Planetarium: Remember to buy tickets three days in advance. There are plenty of tickets after the summer vacation, and it's worth a visit. 3⃣️ Shanghai Maritime Museum: Maritime enthusiasts can visit to gain knowledge, although interactive content is limited. 4⃣️ Beachcombing: When in Lingang, you must visit the "Mirror of the Sky". Check the tide times in advance, and avoid going at night as it's not allowed. 5⃣️ Dripping Lake: The scenery is beautiful and leisurely. You can stroll around or camp⛺️, it's perfect for autumn. 6⃣️ If you have more time, you can also visit Haichang Ocean Park, which is great for taking the kids out!

Where can you go in Shanghai for 3 days with a child?

Here is a detailed 3-day itinerary in Shanghai: Day 1: Arrive at Hongqiao Railway Station at noon, then check in at a homestay on Nanjing East Road. After settling in, start exploring Shanghai. Remaining time on Day 1: Eat Shengjian Bao on Nanjing East Road - M Bean Flagship Store - Lego Flagship Store - Yu Garden - Return to the accommodation. Day 2: Shanghai Planetarium - Yuyuan Road - Dingxi Road - Return to the accommodation - The Bund - Daimaru Department Store to experience the turning elevator - Return to the accommodation. Day 3: Tongji University - Xuhui Academy - Xuhui Catholic Church - Shanghai Center Tower and its surroundings - Yu Garden - Return to the accommodation. Half day on Day 4: Take the subway from the accommodation to Pudong International Airport, then take the Maglev back, and visit the Maglev Science Museum at the same time. Then leave Shanghai by train at noon. Summary: 1. Always walking, so shoes are important. 2. Shanghai's Shengjian Bao is really delicious. The Shengjian Bao next to our accommodation is eaten by local residents, and it's not worse than the popular restaurants. 3. Originally wanted to go to Fudan University Handan Campus, but didn't make a reservation. Went to nearby Tongji University instead, which was also very good. 4. If the weather is bad, you can skip the Shanghai Center Tower. We went there on a cloudy and rainy day, but because we were leaving the next day, we still went up, thinking that maybe the clouds were only halfway up, and at least we could see the scenery above the clouds. But after going up, we couldn't see anything in the white fog. However, we didn't go in vain, we took the fastest elevator in the world. 5. Couldn't make a reservation for the Planetarium online, but you can queue up on the spot on the day. We bought tickets on the spot. 6. The peach gum soup with glutinous rice balls and papaya milk at Tangwu Sugar Water House on Yuyuan Road is really delicious, 28 yuan for a bowl. 7. When traveling with a child, you need to be mentally prepared. Whether you can walk or not, whether the child is interested in the places you go, directly affects the quality of the trip. I discussed with my child about the places we went, so the overall atmosphere of the trip was harmonious. Tips: 1. How to make a reservation to visit Fudan University? Search for 'Fudan Information Office' on WeChat. 2. There are tickets for the Planetarium on the spot, when does the queue start? You can queue up to buy tickets on the spot, the specific time depends on the situation of the day. I tried to grab tickets for several days but didn't get any. But my child is interested in astronomy, so I checked a lot of strategies at the time, saying that you can also queue up to buy tickets on the spot on the day. I wasn't sure, so I called the Planetarium. The staff answered quite tactfully, 'If there are returned tickets, there will be some tickets on the spot, but you need to queue up early.' Our situation on the day was like this: We originally planned to queue up at 8:30 in the morning, but because it was raining and cold in the morning, we were afraid that the child would catch a cold, so we didn't rush and arrived at around 9:20. When we arrived, we started to queue up. Maybe because the weather was bad, there weren't many people in line in front of us. Tickets started to be sold at 9:30, and it took less than 20 minutes for us to enter the venue. We were quite lucky. Transportation: 1. We took the subway from Nanjing East Road Subway Station to Drip Lake Subway Station, and it took less than an hour and a half without taking the direct Line 16 or the big station bus. 2. Drip Lake Subway Station - Planetarium, you can walk, it's quite close. We took a taxi at the time because we were in a hurry to buy tickets and were afraid of delaying time. Queue: There are two queues on the spot, the right queue (near the ticket window) is for buying tickets on the spot, and the other queue is for those who have made reservations online. Many strategies say that there is already a long queue at 8:30 in the morning, but when we arrived at nearly half past nine, there were only about a hundred people in front of us, so it depends on the situation. Our situation on the day was a working day during the winter vacation and the weather was not very good (it was only raining in the morning, and it had stopped raining when we arrived at the Planetarium).

Shanghai Planetarium

🌟Highlights: The venue is very large with three floors. Both children and adults have gained knowledge. After coming back, they will draw a planet every day. Many people say that tickets are hard to get, but it's actually okay. Set the alarm at 9:28, tickets start selling at 9:30. There will be five minutes for us to fill in the information, and submit it on time at 9:35 to get the tickets. ⏳Play time: Because we couldn't make reservations for the movies and activities inside the venue, we played for half a day, but the children were still very happy. 👎Least recommended: There are too many people, you can't turn around in the first floor venue. Halfway through the queue for the electronic explanation device, they said they were all rented out.
