Wonderful experience to make our own soup dumplings 🥟. it was great to understand and learn how to create the soup portion of the dumpling as it seemed like a mystery until this class! I will be trying to make these. fun class, would highly recommend doing this to learn something new and valuable!

What a fantastic experience! Our group truly enjoyed the Authentic China Taste Cooking Class with Michelin Chef Tony. We learned how to cook Kung Pao Chicken and make delicious wonton soup, and it was both fun and informative. A special thank you to Josie, who picked us up and guided us throughout the entire process. Her communication skills were excellent, and she was incredibly accommodating, thoughtful, and attentive to everyone in the group. Thank you for a memorable experience from Team Philippines! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Shanghai.

Cici is just amazing! She’s super caring and funny. Love her encouraging teaching style, she checks in on everyone and makes you feel totally comfortable. The whole 2.5‑hour session went by so fast. At the end we all got to sit down, eat our very own homemade dumplings and chat together. If you want something fun, genuine and hands‑on, don’t skip this one. Me and my friends had such a lovely afternoon and would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting Shanghai.

We had the most wonderful time learning from and talking with Yin! The market visit was informative and opened the door for seeking out and buying many more vegan Chinese cooking ingredients! Yin was a patient and kind teacher, and we learnt so many techniques from her that we are incorporating into our everyday cooking. The dishes we cooked were delicious and we have already recreated them at home using the recipes Yin provided . Xie Xie, Yin! We loved meeting you and are so grateful for all we learned from you, cooking and conversation wise!

Service: They knew it was close to my birthday from my passport and gave me a birthday sticker! They asked if I had any questions, and even though I didn't know what to ask, they patiently explained everything using a translator. If you go to check in around 3 PM, it might be less crowded, and they might be able to explain things more thoroughly! There might be individual differences, but personally, I found the food here to be more to my liking and quite delicious compared to what's inside the park! I'll definitely be back for the 15th anniversary! Thank you very much!

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.

The room condition was good and the staff were friendly. Breakfast was also decent. Most of all, having a free shuttle bus was the most convenient.

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.
