Reviews: Shanghai Yu Garden + Shanghai City God Temple half-day tour: Traditional culture experience with optional Chinese tea tasting
Guest User2025-11-30
Teacher Mao was very professional. A native of Shanghai, she was extremely familiar with Yu Garden and provided a very detailed explanation throughout the tour. The process wasn't tiring at all. We heard many stories about the garden, some of which weren't even online but were only recorded in the county annals. It was very vivid and interesting. She even took us to the City God Temple before the tour ended. It was definitely worth the trip! Yu Garden truly needs a guided tour; otherwise, you simply won't understand it! This trip was very worthwhile!★

Reviews: Shanghai Era Theatre Acrobatic Show Ticket
Guest User2026-01-13
The show was fantastic! Complex, engaging numbers, a compelling storyline, and a constant dynamic. The QR code and seat assignments were sent to WeChat two hours before the show, as stated in the description. We asked for WeChat or WhatsApp contact information in advance, and the seats were very conveniently located. Many thanks to the vendor!★

Reviews: Tickets for the must-see ERA Time Travel Acrobatic Show in Shanghai
Guest User2025-12-29
If you come to Shanghai, you should definitely go see it! The amazing techniques can be quite nerve-wracking at times, but the satisfaction is high! The nearby department store also has everything you need, making it convenient. If you stay in the Xintiandi area, you can get to the venue at a low price (I took a direct bus for about 40 yen).
