They said, you are already thirty.
I said, it's only thirty and it's just beginning.
Hi, I am a little meatball, a woman who doesn't want her life to be defined by her age. I am a native of Shanghai. When I was 27 years old, I married Lao Xue because of love. Both of us have stable incomes. Without the pressure of mortgage loans, we live a leisurely life, shopping, watching movies, drinking afternoon tea, and insisting on our world alone.

Until one day, a little boy suddenly fell from the sky in my life with Lao Xue. His appearance broke the world between us and made me become a mother overnight and Lao Xue become a father. Therefore, our lives have also undergone major changes, and our second life has begun.

Our sleep time has become shorter, and the word lie-in no longer has a place for us.
Our free time has become less, and 24 hours are revolving around this little thing.
Our demand for cars has become higher, and walking our children every week has made cars our priority.
Our living space has become smaller, and the original study has been transformed into his nest.

As you can see, as our identities change, our needs in life are constantly changing.
In fact, when Lao Xue and I were alone, there was no strong need to buy a car. In a big city like Shanghai, whether it is subway or online ride-hailing, all travel problems can be easily solved and parking difficulties can be avoided. trouble. The house doesn't need to be big, as long as it's big enough to live in.
But since I had a baby, this car has become a necessity, and I hope the bigger the house, the better... So we bought a car and renovated the house, hoping to give the little guy a better environment.

We are on the road to walk our children, which also expands the travel radius. From then on, my romantic trip every weekend with Lao Xue turned into a warm parent-child trip.

Speaking of parent-child tours, there are many places to visit in Shanghai. From museums to playgrounds, from the city to the suburbs, you can make every weekend full. The place I like to take my baby to must be a place suitable for both adults and children. Otherwise, how can it be called a parent-child tour? Only when each other finds a point of interest can we live up to the good time this weekend. So taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather in November, I found some classic and interesting routes and took the little beast to start a two-day and one-night parent-child journey.

The most beloved museum by Shanghai children

Shanghai is a city with various types of museums. From nature to humanities, from technology to life, each museum has its own characteristics. But if you ask me to recommend a place suitable for taking my children, it will be the Shanghai Museum of Natural History! This is the most beloved museum by the children of Shanghai, because in addition to various realistic animal specimens, there are also many interactive experiences.

Lao Xue and I both like to visit museums, so when we had no children, we had already quietly checked in. With children, we even hope to be able to fly with him, travel through the Jurassic Era, explore the mystery of origin, and enter the colorful world of life here.

We drove through the streets and alleys to the Shanghai Museum of Natural History in the center of the city. The museum did not have a parking place, so it was recommended to park in the mall opposite.

Park your car and enter the Shanghai Museum of Natural History. Buy tickets online in advance and you can enter the park with your ID card.
Shanghai Museum of Natural History is the Nature Branch of Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and one of the largest natural history museums in China. The original old museum has a history of 50 years and has been closed since 2014. The current Shanghai Museum of Natural History is located in Jing 'an Sculpture Park. There are more than 290,000 pieces in its collection alone. It is the most detailed, most complete and most diverse museum I have ever visited so far.

It is this museum that has been praised by everyone. Tickets are only 30 yuan. It is really the king of value for money. Go to another Monday because the museum is closed on Monday.
As the beginning of the entire Museum of Natural History, the mystery of origin briefly and cleverly traces the process of human exploration of the universe and the origin of life through the display and formation principles of astronomical telescopes.

Following the ramp, you will reach the Long River of Life exhibition area. This is one of the children's favorite exhibition areas. Here are those once famous passers-by and existing biological stars: dinosaurs that were tragically extinct during the Cretaceous period, thousands of years old reptile turtles, amphibians lizards, alligators and giant salamanders, etc. These animal specimens are made very lifelike, and there is also an electronic demonstration next to each specimen to vividly display these creatures.

Nature is like an arena. After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, each creature has developed a unique set of secrets. Their different feeding strategies and reproduction strategies have become two major tools for population continuation. The baby may not understand the truth, but just looking at so many novel creatures is already fascinating.

When you arrive at the Africa Pavilion, don't miss the film screening here. All kinds of animals from Africa to wild, as well as bread trees, stand realistically on the African prairie. When the film begins, it feels like you are immersed in the scene. On the grassland, zebras, giraffes, lions, and jackals face the wind and feel the momentum of running on the grassland.

There are many venues in the entire Natural History Museum. If you look slowly, you can watch it all day. My baby is still young, so he can only understand it on the surface and cannot explore it in depth. Therefore, one morning is enough.

From the museum is Jing 'an Sculpture Park. It is the only special sculpture park in the center of Shanghai City and an open urban park. Every cherry blossom season, the cherry blossom promenade here always attracts many people.

Across the sculpture park, there is a restaurant that specializes in crab yellow noodles across the road. In autumn, Shanghai is the season full of crab fat. Shanghainese people love to eat noodles. At this time, come to a bowl of seasonal crab yellow noodles and put the two treasures of "crab" and "noodle" into the bowl at the same time. It is really a good thing to have the best of both worlds.

The noodle shop is not big, 88 yuan/bowl, and has a golden fragrance. Pour the crab roe into the noodles, pick up a pair of noodles, and roll it in the crab roe. Each noodle is evenly wrapped with crab roe, which is rich and tender.

The amusement park with the most old Shanghai style

Eat and drink enough, take the baby to the second stop, Shanghai World!

Enter the car, adjust the seat, and get ready to go! You can reach the "Shanghai World" directly by voice navigation.

Shanghai World is a famous amusement center in Shanghai. It is a landmark building in old Shanghai. After I grew up, it was closed for 14 years. It was later renovated and officially opened. This place is full of childhood memories of Shanghai Xiaonan. Let's get dressed and stage the story of old Shanghai together!

The big world is a very good place to let children understand old Shanghai. Shanghai Great World has 4 floors and is directly accessible by elevators, so you don't have to worry about pushing a baby carriage.

The first thing you see at the entrance on the first floor is the super contemporary mirror! Although the current camera mirrors have been replaced with new clothes, they are still full of memories and are still their favorite for today's children.

The corridors on the second floor are filled with lanterns with intangible cultural heritage elements, which is very suitable for taking photos. At the other end of the tunnel is a whole glass wall made of cartoon dolls, as well as various handicrafts such as tie-dyeing and sand paintings. Babies can try to make them by themselves.

The resting area on the third floor is also a table and chair made of flower drums, which can be used not only for rest, but also for children to knock and play. The four intangible cultural heritage themed areas are full of Chinese style and super tight. Suitable for taking photos and checking in.

The 4th floor is my favorite. It is very rich in content. I strongly recommend starting from the 4th floor and going down.

The 1978 Old Shanghai-style neighborhood restores the old Shanghai of that era. It is full of memories with long dragon carriages, public telephone booths, Shikumen alleys, etc. It is also very interesting to share the stories of our era with children. One thing ~ This is very suitable for taking retro photos with a sense of age, so in terms of clothing selection, cheongsam or retro costumes will be very suitable.

The fantasy kaleidoscope is like an enlarged kaleidoscope. Walking in it is like entering a magical space.

In addition to watching shadow puppet performances, you can also buy shadow puppet dolls ~
Sugar blowing people, dough sculptures, sugar painting people, and many interesting interactions with intangible cultural heritage are all memories of our childhood, and we have to sigh at the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsmen.

Shanghai's most beautiful street in autumn

October in Shanghai is the most comfortable season of the year. The air is filled with hints of autumn, warm sunshine, and fresh air.
We wanted to take advantage of the sunset to take our baby to visit the most beautiful streets in autumn and step on the autumn scenery full of fallen leaves, so we drove in the direction of Wukang Road.

When I take my children out, I always keep patting and patting. The battery of my mobile phone is always used up quickly. Fortunately, there is a wireless charging device in the car. After getting on the car, I can charge my mobile phone as soon as it is put down, which is super convenient. Driving on the city road in Shanghai, the baby's soft lullaby comes from the car. In the quiet car, isolate the disturbance from the outside world and let the baby take a nap.

If Shanghai is a city that entrusts its brilliance to the Bund and Lujiazui, then it hides its gentleness and delicacy in the houses and alleys deep in the courtyard.

Wukang Road is like such a Shanghai dream that will never fade. Only when you come here can you see the colorful Shanghai. Quiet, elegant, with a little vicissitudes of time.

On Wukang Road in November, sycamore trees began to turn yellow, drifting past the European buildings facing the street, and gradually falling with the breeze.

There are many boutique shops and cafes on Wukang Road, hidden in this old house. WIFY's Internet celebrity ice cream is my baby's favorite. The signature sea salt caramel ice cream has a strong flavor. Every time I come here, there is always an endless stream of people. Come to check in, hold the ice cream, and dry the ice cream that is popular among friends in front of the old house under the shade of the trees.

LOKAL next to him is also a famous Western restaurant on Wukang Road. Brunch and afternoon tea are their main specialties.

Our arrival late did not prevent us from tasting delicious food, sitting in the open air, enjoying the last ray of sunshine, and ending our day's trip.

The most suitable outdoor park for walking children

The next day, we went to a large outdoor parent-child park, Jigao Tuwowo Parent-child Park. Since I had a baby, I have visited amusement parks large and small in Shanghai, but this one has always been in my collection. I just want to choose a crisp autumn day to have a good time.

Tuwowo is a large-scale outdoor parent-child park opened in Shanghai this year. There are many amusement parks in Shanghai, but it is rare to see one that focuses on parent-child outdoor and is on such a large scale. He is close to Shanghai Disneyland and Yioulai. He turns from Luoshan Road Elevated to Outer Ring Expressway. He steps down on the accelerator and is full of power and can reach it in nearly an hour's drive.

Along the way, the baby was not bored. He talked to Little WEY from time to time. Little V, turn on the panoramic skylight, Little V, turn off the air conditioner, Little V... Xiao V can do many things. After chatting, he can also watch an animation on the car iQiyi. Every time he is afraid that he will not get off the bus.

Those who like the outdoors are strongly recommended to bring tents, trolleys, change into comfortable clothes, bring spare clothes for your baby, prepare some delicious food, and have an outdoor parent-child tour. Every time I want to go outdoors, I always have to bring a lot of things. I used to rely on Lao Xue to do hard work, but now that I have a car, I save a lot of effort. I always pack the trunk full every time.

Inductive electric tailgate, grab your things in big bags and small bags, and enter the park to play!

It takes about 5 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the entrance of the scenic spot. I bought the ticket online in advance. I like the sun, like picnics, or live nearby. I strongly recommend buying his family's annual card. It will be worth the ticket price after coming twice.

When you enter the park, your eyes light up. The entire park has created various dreams for the children, with bright colors and fresh and lovely cartoon animal shapes, as if they have come to a microscopic world. Climb the colorful castle, ride on the giraffe's neck, and jump from one cute rabbit to another cute rabbit. It is dreamy and interesting.

Tuwowo Paradise is mainly divided into three major areas: Rabbit Treasure Kingdom, Growth World and Creation Bay.

Opposite the main entrance is the world of growth. It is like arriving at a small castle. It has a very nice name called Sky Castle. By climbing to the highest point, you can get closer to the sky.
In this growing world, there are many of the few play projects in Shanghai and even in China. Ultra-long zip lines, comprehensive tower combinations, etc., it is simply a children's world.

Next to the growing world is a large sea of lavender flowers. Unfortunately, the days when lavender flowers bloom are over. Fortunately, there are always different surprises in the rabbit nest. Even if there is no lavender, there are still patches of verbena and rose gardens. For this autumn, draw a gorgeous stroke.

Coming out of the world of growth, there is the Rabbit Treasure Kingdom opposite you. Just by hearing the name, you feel cute and cute. This is a playing area suitable for young children. It also has slides, climbing, and slides. Not one of them falls. In addition to these, swings, sand digging, climbing, racing, lock-skating, go-kart, slide slides, etc. are also concentrated in this area.

The most eye-catching thing in the Rabbit Treasure Kingdom is the few Internet celebrity rabbits in the Rabbit Treasure Castle area. The macaron-colored rabbit castle is full of fairy tale feel, with soft sand underneath. Children shuttle through the rabbits. It's so cute to slide down the big carrot.

In addition to these few Internet celebrity rabbits, there are different small animals in each theme, giraffes and caterpillars, all of which attract children to this colorful fairy tale world, climb up from the ropes, and then slide down., playing for half a day. In the rabbit nest, the most important things should be slides and sand. Almost every play area will have such facilities. Therefore, even if there are many people in the entire park, they will be diverted to various play areas and will not feel crowded.

In addition to these climbing areas, the arena is also a good place to interact with parents. There are bicycles and bumper cars here, both for free.

Different from ordinary parks, the large lawn here not only allows for picnics, but also includes various toys such as swings and net red needle carvings. Parents can rest and bask in the warm sunshine while playing with their children.

In short, here, children can explore the secrets of discovering dinosaur bones; experience the magical musical fountain, enter the fairytale world, spend happy times with their parents, and when they are tired of playing, they can also find a delicious experience that suits them on the lawn or when they are tired.

Someone asked, do you regret this little boy disrupting your original life?
I smiled. Although my mother's career is very hard.
But fortunately, his slight smile could melt all his worries.

I wanted to give him more space and take him to see the larger world. Fortunately, with you, my life after the age of 30 has become more exciting.
