Reviews: Shanghai Van Gogh Starry Night Museum + ERA2 Circus World - Time Travel Acrobatic Show [2 PM Show]
Guest User2025-12-15
The show was rescheduled, and the trip.com staff worked incredibly well. Thank you for your support and the rescheduling. The ERA2 circus show was very colorful, but it's a shame the hour flew by, a bit short. Afterward, we went looking for the Van Gogh Museum. We had a hard time finding it and trying to get in—the employee didn't want to let us in, and we didn't have internet to show him our trip.com confirmation, as he requested. After 20 minutes of negotiating, he gave us the Wi-Fi password and saw the confirmation. The museum was interesting, and you can take lots of great photos in its locations.★

A perfect blend of old and new!

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!★

Guest User2025-06-26
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: 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).
