Reviews: Shanghai Classic 1-Day Tour: Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower + Huangpu River Cruise with Optional Buffet Diner
Guest User2026-01-16
Before your trip, you'll receive detailed, real-time information via chat. However, please note that this is not a guided tour; it's a ticketing service. While the Oriental Pearl Tower and the cruise ship terminal are nearby, the Shanghai Urban Development Museum is about 3 kilometers away across the Huangpu River, so I wasn't able to visit.★

The tour beautifully balanced history and modernity. Zhujiajiao Water Town and the French Concession showcased Shanghai's rich past, while the Bund and the Peace Hotel exemplified the city's vibrant present. The seamless blend of these elements made for a fascinating and informative journey.★

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!
