tron was the best ride ever, 45 minutes waiting time was considered as good as normally it will take about 200 minutes during peak season. you can bring your own food from outside and make sure to bring your passport

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!

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

We had a fantastic experience visiting Shanghai Tower and booking through Klook was easy and straightforward. We loved having no tour guide, as it meant we could explore at our own pace and really enjoy the experience. We arrived about 4.30pm, which was perfect for enjoying the incredible day-time panoramic views and we stayed until 7pm when Shanghai’s skyline lits up. Watching the city come alive with thousands of lights from such a height was spectacular and definitely a highlight of our visit. We also really enjoyed seeing the 1000-ton tuned mass damper. Learning how it helps stabilise the tower was fascinating, and the lighting display around it made it even more impressive. The views gave us an amazing perspective of Shanghai and the contrast between its historic areas and incredible modern skyline. Definitely one of the highlights of our Shanghai trip!

What to know before visiting Shanghai

Quick snapshot of Shanghai and what draws travellers

Shanghai’s Klook bookings are led by theme parks, guided tours and observation decks, with parks, zoos and aquariums also popular. Demand swings through the year, with distinct busy and quiet months that shape when attractions feel most lively.

Best months to visit for crowds and prices

Klook booking data shows January as the busiest month and August as the quietest. Prices move through the year too: Klook’s historical pricing is lowest around January and rises to peaks in February and March, so the cheapest and most expensive months don’t perfectly match demand. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for August or September when demand is down; for the classic peak-season atmosphere choose January or December when both visitor numbers and activity variety are higher.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers from Malaysia typically book about ten days ahead, with many purchases still possible as late as a few days before an experience. If you plan to visit in January or other peak months, consider booking earlier and check Klook for available options; for quieter months you can be more flexible and often book closer to your travel dates.
