Shanghai Yu Garden Hanfu Photography Experience

Highly recommend this place! The staff are all very kind and skilled at their jobs. You have to enter an apartment building to locate the place and I was a bit unsure at first but the skill of the staff totally blew me away! You can choose from photos which style of hanfu/hair/makeup you want and I chose a pink summer hanfu. The makeup and hair are both extremely detailed and they are able to get it done in just an hour. The photographer was very nice and helpful in teaching poses and they let you select which photos you want edited. We went to the nearby Yuyuan Garden and you need to pay to get in but it is very worth it. Even though there were a lot of people, the photographer will make sure they can't be seen. You will need Wechat or Whatsapp to set up arrival time but communication is pretty easy. The edited photos are sent to you around a week after through Wechat but the unedited photos are still very beautiful! Highly recommend this to people who want a quality hanfu experience!

We arrived almost an hour late due to unforeseen circumstances but they still waited for us and were so accommodating! The makeup artist Oda was absolutely phenomenal... I've never felt prettier in my life! I was in awe at the makeup, my face was perfectly accentuated. He took into account the fact that I did not wish to look like a ghost. I loved the whole experience so much I used the same makeup to take pictures at the Bund! The hair by Amy was perfect too, the jewelry and accessories complemented each other impeccably. I just got the Hanfu experience, the coat for ¥60 and used my own camera to take photos at YuYuan garden. This has been my absolute favourite experience in Shanghai so far!! I'd highly recommend going ~~

Helpful instructions in finding the location. Nice selection of costumes and the makeup artist did a great job on my makeup. The photographer was super helpful since I’m so bad at posing ahahha. Great value for money.

Absolutely perfect experience! The whole team was kind and professional, and the photographer was fantastic. After seeing many other studios, we can confidently say their outfits are by far the most beautiful, and the value for money is unbeatable. We are thrilled with the final results. A small point to be aware of: the 30 "raw" photos include the raw versions of the edited photos as well, which can be a little confusing at first. Just keep that in mind when choosing your pictures. The team was very accommodating with our shooting time and everything else. They don't speak English, but they communicate efficiently using a phone translator. If you have light-colored hair, make sure to tell them you want to keep your natural hair color in the edited photos, as they use black extensions and edit the hair to black by default. Also, if you want photos in a garden, remember that additional entrance tickets is required for the staff and photographer. We highly recommend this studio !

It's difficult to find when you're a foreigner. The photographer is great and made us feel very comfortable, guiding us correctly on the poses to take! The makeup artist knows what she's doing; you can tell she's experienced, and the same goes for the hairstylist. Everything went smoothly.

I'd booked four sets for myself and my three kids. Even though they were attending to many customers that day, the make-up artists stayed very focused and did a lovely job for all of us. We had two photographers assigned to our group of four, and the photos especially for us ladies turned out so well that we struggled to narrow them down to just six each. Just to note: the address is not a shop inside Yuyuan. It’s actually an apartment located about eight minutes from Cheng Huang Temple. With Amap and seller's heads up message,, it was pretty easy for us to find the place. experience: Excellent Overall, kudos to the whole team for making it such an enjoyable experience.

It was too difficult to find a local makeup experience on my own, so I asked this service for help. After connecting on WeChat, we arranged a time, and they sent me a map and a video showing how to get to the makeup location, which was very clear. I mistakenly hadn't requested a photoshoot, but they were able to add it on the spot, and I paid with Alipay. By the way, you can get more finished photos by paying an additional fee. Once I arrived at the room, I could choose the makeup I wanted and the image of the outfit from photos. I was very satisfied with the incredibly meticulous hair styling and makeup. Both the staff and the photographer were very kind, and the quality of the finished product was high. I'm truly glad I chose this service.

An amazing experience. Can be difficult to find as its inside the apartment complex. Hair, makeup, and dress takes about 2 hours, the attention to detail and care was amazing. The photoshoot tooks about an hour, the direction the phototgrapher gives is clear and makes for extremely pretty pictures. It's almost impossible to choose between them all!

the makeup and hair artists are really good and all the staff are friendly. they will make sure that you will look your best and that you will enjoy your entire experience. very thankful to everyone who helped me achieve the ethereal look that i was hoping for. they are the best and 100/100 i’ do this again!

Overall, I'm very satisfied! 🥰 After booking, you can schedule your appointment on WeChat. I recommend arriving a bit early to choose your outfits (there are so many options, it's hard to decide!). The makeup artist and photographer were both very professional and efficient. I requested a natural makeup look, and the result was excellent. Don't worry if you haven't taken photos before; the photographer will guide you through poses and help you pick scenic spots. The whole experience was great. After the shoot, you can explore a bit before returning the clothes. You can even select your photos the same day, and because they were so beautiful, I ended up purchasing extra! 😍
