Easy redeem and entering the park was fast. Went on weekdays and the crowd wasn’t that bad. Manage to ride 3 main rides before roaming around to take photo of the characters. Definitely will return again.

This was such a fun and immersive banquet. Big choice of hanfu, the hair was beautifully done (you can have it up or down). I paid for hair and make up but opted out of the make up, just the small decorative touches, as I don’t like using shared make-up and brushes. The overall outfit was amazing. The food was surprisingly good and the actors did well. Great service overall, I highly recommend getting VIP seats for the best views. There is a small game at the end for those who want to participate. The show is in Chinese however there is a projected translation on the wall.

The park is huge and fun to experience. Explored with the bus first which is included in the ticket and we managed to see the animals in the enclosure then hired the panda carts to do the rest of the park. they are an hour long for hiring. lots of animals to see and the kids playground had cool activities for the young at heart. facilities clean and restaurants are super quick with meals

Visiting Yu Garden was such a beautiful experience — the traditional architecture, peaceful gardens, and vibrant atmosphere made it truly memorable. Our guide, Julian, was knowledgeable, friendly, and very attentive throughout the tour. He explained the history and culture in an engaging way while making sure we are comfortable and enjoying the experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Shanghai!

Scan the QR code for instant entry! Overlook the magical city from above with this time-saving ticket, a must-buy for your Shanghai trip! Travel Type: Solo/Independent Travel 💬 Experience Review and Recommended Advantages: Booking the "Shanghai Tower Observatory" ticket on Klook was incredibly smooth! As the tallest building in China and Asia (and third tallest in the world), the view from the 118th floor (546 meters above sea level) did not disappoint. It offered a breathtaking panoramic view of both banks of the Huangpu River and the Lujiazui skyscraper cluster. 📱 Klook Booking is Extremely Convenient: There were many people buying tickets on-site, but after purchasing tickets in advance on Klook, I just showed my e-voucher and ID for quick verification, saving a lot of time waiting in line to buy tickets! 🚀 Super High-Speed Elevator Experience: Taking the super high-speed elevator, which travels at 20.5 meters per second, I reached the 118th floor in about 55 seconds. The real-time data display inside the elevator was very high-tech, and the ascent was incredibly smooth. 🖼️ 360-Degree Panoramic View: The panoramic glass curtain wall offers an excellent view. The once towering Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Jin Mao Tower were all below me, making it perfect for photos. 💡 Practical Tips for Travelers and Visiting Guide: Recommended Entry Time: I highly recommend entering 1.5 hours before sunset! This way, you can enjoy the "clear daytime panorama," the "sunset glow," and the "million-dollar night view as the lights come on," offering the best value. Entry and Security Check: The observatory requires real-name registration, so remember to bring your ID or passport. The on-site security check is quite strict (flammable items and some camera tripods are prohibited), so it's advisable to allow 20-30 minutes for security. High-Altitude Photography Tip: At night, the indoor glass can be reflective. It's recommended to press your phone or camera lens as close to the glass as possible when shooting for very clear pictures! Overall Review: Much more convenient than waiting in line to buy tickets on-site. The price is reasonable, and entry with the voucher is seamless. Whether it's your first time in Shanghai or you want to admire the magical city's ultimate skyline, booking in advance on Klook is highly recommended!
