Thank you to our friendly guide Zhujing for showing us the old town of Wuzhen with its very interesting museums. Lunch was very pleasant. Then, in the evening, we visited the old town of Xitang with its canals and houses with red lanterns. The canal cruise was very peaceful and offered beautiful views.

I’d give more stars if I could! This experience was totally worth it, I was looking forward to learn more about Chinese tea since my knowledge about it was close to zero, and this workshop left me absolutely satisfied. Everything is well thought out, from the theory to the tastings, it was really interesting, the two hours and a half flew by. Max is an amazing teacher, always ready to explain to the most basic concepts ☺️ definitely recommend this experience to anyone who is coming to China and wants to take a break from the sightseeing and enjoy a dive into Chinese teas. (The teas were obviously amazing quality. We ended up buying some directly there, it was great to bring home something that we tasted as a reminder of the workshop :))

Great hotel, theming was on point even the staff uniforms were Toy Story themed! Room was a great size, very clean and had all nessersary amenities available. Beds were super comfy and firm and pillows felt like clouds. The staff were very friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend a stay here if you are going to Disney especially the hour early access!

This accommodation is truly the best. First, the airport pickup and drop-off, and the shuttle bus to Disneyland and the Bund are excellent. I also added breakfast on-site because I heard it was delicious. The breakfast was varied and high-quality. The Hami melon was really tasty. Also, the skewer truck right in front of the hotel entrance is affordable and delicious. Inside the hotel entrance, there's a FamilyMart, another convenience store, and a few restaurants. It's also great that the mini-bar in the room is free. I didn't get to try it, but I like that they offer porridge until 11 PM. I plan to stay here again next time.

We stayed here for 2 of our 4 nights at Shanghai Disney Hotel and wish we had stayed for all 4. This hotel is a true Disney bubble hotel unlike the budget friendly Toy Story from our first 2 nights. The rooms were great, big clean with a view of the lake and park. Food for breakfast and dinner was a buffet affair with great options for all. Booking with Klook was painless and we just showed our booking to the check-in staff who bound the details to the Disney app for us, couldn't have been easier.

It was very clean and spacious, and although breakfast was the same every day, it was a satisfying mini-buffet. The plumbing was fine, and the hairdryer had strong airflow. Housekeeping came daily and never touched my belongings. The reception staff spoke English. The city center was a bit far, but taking a taxi made it easy, and the bus to the airport followed by a train was also a good option. Within a 5-minute walk, there were many restaurants and a convenience store. Above all, I was happy to return to this hotel; it's no exaggeration to say that this hotel made my trip so much better! Also, the walls were a bit thin, and I could hear voices, but they provided earplugs, which showed great consideration.
