    I've fallen into this trap: the money you load onto the card actually has an expiration date. No refunds when you return the card, and the balance gets wiped out upon expiry.

        Go for the Ferris wheel (🎡). One rotation lasts over ten minutes, so it's better value for money.

          A friend told me that if you're going for the surrounding views, you'd be better off riding a Ferris wheel in the Greater Bay Area.

            We went today and mostly stuck to the unpowered play areas. It wasn't too crowded, and my child had a blast.

              You were really lucky then! We went yesterday, and in the unpowered play area, there was nowhere for parents to sit. We had to just sit on rocks at the bottom of the hill waiting for our kids. It was awful.

                Strongly advise against going.

                    We live nearby and often take our kid to the unpowered play areas. Sometimes we even pop over for a bit of fun after dinner.

                        The rollercoaster really isn't worth it. Kids can't even ride alone, and you're off before your seat even gets warm – it's about 40 seconds. Definitely not recommended. If it did two laps, it might just be acceptable.

                          A classmate's mom filmed the entire ride. From boarding to arrival, it was exactly 36 seconds.

                            You can borrow my card if you like. It's expiring soon, and my kid is under 1 meter tall, so there's a lot they can't do on it anyway.

                              Hi there! I'd like to borrow it. How does that work?

                                We went yesterday – it's not great value for money. The Ferris wheel is 99 yuan per person, so that's nearly 300 for a family of three. It's not really worth it unless you top up a card, but then there's no point topping up if you don't visit often. Plus, the free attractions aren't even open yet.

                                  When I went during Chinese New Year, the Ferris wheel was 158 yuan per person, and you had to buy tickets a day in advance just to get on!

                                    Do you have to pay if you only want to use the unpowered facilities?

                                      The unpowered ones are free.

                                        Is there an entrance fee?

                                          No entrance fee, but you pay for the individual attractions/rides.
