Reviews: Half-Day Tour to Zhujiajiao Ancient Town [Explore the Millennial Water Town with Timeless Charm and Lively Atmosphere]
Guest User2026-06-29
Five-star review! Today's half-day tour to Zhujiajiao exceeded my expectations. A special shout-out to our guide, Jenny Ye! The group included both Chinese and international tourists, and Jenny provided fluent bilingual commentary throughout. She explained Zhujiajiao's history, water town features, and local snacks in detail and vividly, captivating our foreign friends. What was most heartwarming was her exceptional care for the domestic tourists, balancing the needs of both groups without favoritism. She was dedicated and responsible throughout, proactively reminding us of meeting times, recommending authentic local cuisine, and maintaining a well-paced itinerary. Her communication was patient and considerate. She skillfully managed both the English explanations for the international tourists and the thoughtful care for our own group, demonstrating both professionalism and warmth. A truly reliable bilingual guide, I would definitely choose Jenny again for my next local trip. Highly recommended!

Reviews: Must-see "ERA Intersection of Time" Acrobatic Show Admission Ticket in Shanghai
Guest User2026-06-07
I bought my tickets easily. They were emailed as promised. They contacted me to make sure I received them. I loved the show; the performers did a great job! I've long dreamed of going to this circus, and finally, I saw it. I went with my mother-in-law on my birthday. It was a wonderful end to a wonderful day. We got there easily and found our seats. We thoroughly enjoyed the show. We were in row 7, seats 1 and 3, and had a great view of everything.

Reviews: Shanghai Huangpu River Night Cruise Ticket includes a buffet dinner; you can choose between the Dragon Boat or the Crystal Princess cruise ship at Pier 3, Shiliupu.
Guest User2026-05-30
If you're visiting Shanghai, a night cruise on the Huangpu River is something you simply shouldn't miss. My partner and I booked the evening cruise with buffet dinner, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our time in the city. From the moment we boarded at Pier 3, Shiliupu, the experience felt special. As the ship pulled away from the dock, Shanghai's skyline began to light up around us. Seeing the illuminated skyscrapers of Pudong on one side and the historic buildings of the Bund on the other created a stunning contrast between old and new Shanghai. We spent much of the cruise on the outdoor deck taking photos and admiring the views. The city looks completely different at night, with colourful lights reflecting across the river and famous landmarks glowing against the skyline. It was easily one of the most impressive urban views we experienced anywhere in China. The buffet dinner was a welcome addition to the trip. There was a good variety of dishes available, allowing us

Reviews: Shanghai Yu Garden + City God Temple traditional culture experience: Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism cultural exploration with optional Chinese tea
Guest User2026-05-02
Perhaps due to the rain and the holiday crowds, the initial assembly at the entrance was a bit chaotic. However, after finding our guide, Yuanzi, who led us into the park, he provided a very detailed explanation and demonstrated a thorough understanding of the park's layout. Despite the crowds and various road closures, he still managed to guide us through all the viewpoints. If we had any requests for photos or other things, we promptly informed the guide, who did his best to accommodate us. If you're visiting Yu Garden and City God Temple during a holiday when it's crowded, I highly recommend joining a tour group. It saves time and allows you to see all the attractions within the park.

Reviews: Shanghai Tower + The Bund + Huangpu River Night Cruise: Shanghai Sightseeing Bus Join-in Half-day Tour
Guest User2026-06-22
Lily was helpful and knowledgeable. The visit to the Shanghai Tower was stunning. The evening boat ride with both banks lit up is a wonderful memory. I recommend stopping by the Liu Garden area on your way back for a true taste of China.
