What a feast! The venue is so beautiful, staffs are so patient and helpful. They did the amazing jobs to helping us choosing costumes, dresses up and makeup. Food and performances were spectacular, we cannot give any negative feedbacks about it. 10/10 definitely want to go again when we’re back in Shanghai.

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience despite going alone. It was my birthday lol The performance is amazing as well as the presentation. One thing I have to note tho is that it can get pretty fast changing between meals. However, if you haven’t finished the meal yet, you can tell the server and it’ll be okay. The food is not spectacular but I was stuffed! I liked the meat balls hehe They also refill your tea and wine. If you’re still hungry I think you can get seconds. The people beside me did lol I can’t speak Mandarin tho

This time, my friends and family all experienced a makeover and hairstyling. There are quite a few different types of clothes, but remember to get there by 10:00 AM, because if you arrive late, the clothing options will be reduced. Not bad!

very nice experience - first a few kind of teas are introduced and prepared. than you can try them. And I really liked that I could choose my own snack. Afterwards you can sit on the roof top terrace and drink the rest of your teas with a great view of the Yuyuan Garden. The address is not so easy to finde because it is inside of the shopping district - I used Amap to find it and asked a few people.

We had an amazing time with Jim! Our family really enjoyed getting to sample such a wide variety of local foods here in Shanghai. Our parents, who are seniors, especially appreciated the leisurely walk paired with Jim’s fascinating insights into the city’s history, architecture, flowers, and culture. If you’re a foodie and love Chinese cuisine, you’re in for an absolute treat! Thank you, Jim, for such a memorable experience!

We are so lucky to have Sandra & Samuel to be our guide in Zhujiahiao water town today. They are so friendly & knowledgeable. They came to our hotel pick us up & show us around the ancient town. We had chances to try many local food that they bought for us. The food & tour is so amazing! We do not feel they are the tour guide. Instead we feel both of them are our good old friends spending time with us in the Watertown. We had wonderful time together. Thank you Sandra & Saumel! Hope to see you again in the future!
