⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing Show! The Shanghai World Circus was a highlight of our trip! The performances were spectacular, with incredible acrobatics, amazing talent and breathtaking stunts. The absolute highlight was the motorcycle riders inside the giant steel sphere of death! Watching around seven motorcycles riding simultaneously inside the iron dome at incredible speeds, crossing paths with perfect timing, was absolutely mind-blowing and nerve-racking! The skill, bravery and coordination of the performers were unbelievable. The show was entertaining from beginning to end, with excitement at every turn. If you're visiting Shanghai, I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary. It's an unforgettable experience and well worth seeing live! 🎪🏍️👏

One of the best experiences I have ever tried. I will not regret that I booked this. The facility is very beautiful. The stage was stunning. The photoshoot areas were so pretty. The food was also good. Even if I'm very picky with my food, I still enjoyed everything I ate. The performance was astounding. The performers were all very talented. I have to admit it was hard to read the subtitles while watching them run across the stage, but I loved how it moved it. You really have to plan ahead if you want to do this, because you have to contact the shop in advance. You also have to prepare at least two hours before the actual dinnerbso that you could line up for hair and makeup. It is also good if you already have the color you want to try or the style you want to try so you won't be overwhelmed with the amount of costumes and props they have around. Because all of it is so cute and you will want to try everything!

Great experience with the Hanfu & cheongsam photoshoot! The costumes and hair‑makeup were beautifully done. The photographer was patient and professional, capturing wonderful shots for us. The location near Yuyuan Garden is super convenient. We really enjoyed our traditional Chinese‑style photo session and would highly recommend this service to other travelers

Overall, a Great Experience! We went to Xuyan to enjoy the live performance, and overall, it was a wonderful experience! All the performers were amazing, especially the aerial performance suspended high in the air. It was absolutely spectacular and impressive. Definitely worth watching! The food was pretty good too. The beef dishes were excellent, although the beef fried rice was just average. However, for guests who don’t eat beef or have seafood allergies, the food options may feel a little limited. Hopefully, they can consider adding more appealing and diverse dishes to cater to different dietary preferences. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and the performances were definitely the highlight!

I absolutely loved my Shanghai‑style cheongsam photoshoot! The makeup and vintage hairstyle are so delicate and beautiful. Every little hair accessory matches the whole look perfectly. There are many elegant cheongsam styles to pick from, and the shawl, pearl handbag and earrings are all prepared for you. The old‑town setting is fantastic for photos. The staff are patient and friendly. I felt just like a gentle lady from the old days. I’m so happy with my pictures, strongly recommend this studio!

Got a QR code; and easily scan to go in (no passport was asked). The park may take 90minutes to take a look. Price is valid as is same to almost buying in person (40RMB). Recommendable if need to skip queue.

If you want to take a boat tour and get plenty of great photos, I recommend purchasing the VIP admission at the venue. I paid an extra 100 yuan per person to access this area, where you can take as many photos and videos as you want. It's a shame I can't post a video review; it is truly breathtaking.

Such a fun experience! Absolutely loved the lunch theater at Gong Yan. Highly recommended. Great food quality, flawless and friendly service, and entertaining performance. Saw many families bring their older folks as well, who thoroughly enjoyed the lunch. Performers were excellent, and also included audience participation.
