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: 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 Zhujiajiao Ancient Town - A Water Town in Ink-wash Painting Style Day Tour
Guest User2026-06-03
The tour price includes transfers and three entrance tickets. The price difference between an English-speaking guide and a Russian-speaking guide is unclear, especially when there's no guide at all. The entire city tour is self-guided.

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.
