Reviews: Shanghai Yu Garden + City God Temple Traditional Culture Experience: Preview the Lunar New Year Lantern Festival with Optional Chinese Tea
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!★

The driver and guide Joe is a really wonderful person. We were a group of 5 people and he helped us a lot. One of us is a person in a wheelchair, so he helped even with it coz he had to move in such a wheelchair for half a year.★

Reviews: Shanghai Natural History Museum 2-hour in-depth tour
Guest User2026-01-31
1. Guided Tour Style: Highly Interactive and Engaging 2. Content Covered: Broad and In-Depth This guided tour was not merely a cursory glance, but a high-density science education session. The guide skillfully translated complex evolutionary concepts (such as the relationship between angiosperms and dinosaurs, and marine life on land) into language children could understand, providing comparisons with on-site fossils and specimens. Although some specimens were deemed "ugly" or "fake," this ironically became engaging points of discussion during the tour. For parents who want their children to gain a deeper understanding of natural science, this was a high-quality visit.★
