Thanks to Klook, I was able to book just 30 minutes before my same-day visit and enter with great ease! It was a huge time-saver since I could go straight in with a QR code, without having to wait in line at the venue.
The exhibition itself was excellent, exceeding my expectations. I was particularly impressed by the splendid and intricate pattern culture exhibits from India, Iran, and the Ottoman Empire. It was a truly inspiring artistic experience.
However, the real 'kick' of this museum is the night view and sunset. The view with the Bund and the Oriental Pearl Tower in the background is fantastic, but the biggest advantage is being able to leisurely enjoy the night view without being jostled by crowds. I highly recommend timing your visit to see both the sunset and the night view.
There are many large malls nearby, making it perfect for dining or enjoying a delicious drink before or after your visit. This was the most satisfying part of my Shanghai trip!
