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 :))

The day before using the service, they sent an email including the car's license plate number. The driver drove comfortably, and best of all, the car was clean and didn't smell like smoke, which was great. On the day we returned to Korea, I thought a Kakao Taxi van had arrived. It had a footrest on the seat and even a massage function (it wasn't super powerful, but it was better than nothing), so I rode in extreme comfort in the early morning. Highly, highly, highly recommend! ~~~~~~~~~

The Shanghai Maglev connects Pudong International Airport to Longyang Road in just 8 minutes. It is the world’s fastest commercial train, reaching speeds up to 431km/h. It offers an incredibly smooth, futuristic ride, though tickets are a premium and it requires a transfer to reach downtown.

Ordered for delivery to the hotel in Shanghai. Delivery was prompt by courier but no notification of parcel tracking and delivery time. Had to ask the hotel a few times to be able to get the cards. Other than that, cards were cute and usable.

you can just book your ticket from Klook and get into the train station with your passport, you don’t need to redeem a physical ticket which is very convenient. The train is fast and punctual, I’m very joyful for this trip!

Quick facts about Shanghai
General info
What to know before visiting Shanghai
Brief introduction to Shanghai and its attractions
Shanghai is a bustling metropolis where theme parks, city tours and observation decks dominate what travellers book on Klook. Demand swings through the year, with a strong peak around December and much lighter activity in late summer and early autumn.
Best times to visit and how prices move
Klook booking data show December is the busiest month, while demand drops to its lowest in August and remains low in September. Prices move differently across the year: past bookings show July as typically the cheapest month for activities, while February has been the priciest. That means you can find lower prices and smaller crowds in July and August, whereas December delivers the peak-season atmosphere; note that prices do not always peak with demand — February can be pricier even though it isn’t the busiest month.
Tips for travellers from Singapore
Most travellers from Singapore tend to book about 12 days ahead, with last-minute bookings possible roughly five days out and earlier planning about 25 days in advance. If you plan to travel in December (the peak), aim to secure popular activities a couple of weeks ahead; for July–August you’ll often find lower prices and more availability closer to departure. Use Klook to compare theme-park and tour options and lock in what matters to you while keeping some flexibility for the rest.
