Reviews: Half-Day Tour to Zhujiajiao Ancient Town [Explore the Millennial Water Town with Timeless Charm and Lively Atmosphere]
Guest User2026-09-07
I was lucky enough to join a tour group full of foreigners and received a bilingual guide. Although there was only one attraction, the guide still completed the tour very diligently. The fee was not expensive, even cheaper than taking a taxi there on my own. The car was also clean and comfortable. Zhujiajiao was also very beautiful. The first part was quite commercialized, but it got much better later. It was a beautiful Jiangnan landscape that was very close to the city.

Reviews: Shanghai Zhujiajiao Ancient Town - A Water Town in Ink-wash Painting Style Day Tour
Guest User2026-10-10
It's a beautiful town with a real old Chinese atmosphere. All the sights are within walking distance. It's a popular spot, and therefore crowded with tourists. We had to wait in lines to take photos. The main downside was the lack of a Russian-speaking guide, even though we bought a ticket with a Russian-speaking guide. It's unclear why we paid the extra 4,000 rubles. We ended up getting a transfer to the town and back to the hotel, like a comfortable taxi. We could have taken the metro.

Reviews: Tickets for Shanghai's must-see ERA Acrobatic Show | Circus City QR Code Admission |
Guest User2026-10-05
After paying, they messaged me on WeChat with the details. The day before the performance, they sent me a QR code, which was very convenient since I didn't have to exchange it at the box office. The waiting area at the entrance is very cold, so bring a sweater. They sell popcorn and drinks. I bought a ticket for Zone A and got a seat in row 11, first place. It was quite comfortable. I enjoyed the show; almost all the numbers were spectacular, and the transitions between them were well thought out. The show lasted almost an hour and a half. I was particularly impressed by the girls on the canvas, the aquarium act, and the very flexible gymnast. I'll definitely go again next time I'm in Shanghai.

Reviews: Hangzhou Lingyin Temple + West Lake Cruise + Leifeng Pagoda Day Trip, including Buffet Afternoon Tea and Song Dynasty Tea Ceremony.
Guest User2026-09-30
Our tour guide, Ms. Chen, was incredibly dedicated and responsible. She patiently helped us take photos, provided everyone with a headset, and offered professional and comprehensive explanations! She even remembered our names, making the trip feel even more welcoming. The itinerary was well-planned and fulfilling, with no hidden fees, no shopping stops, no half-hearted activities, and virtually no queues. We managed to visit West Lake and Lingyin Temple/Feilai Peak Scenic Area in one day, and with her professional guide, it was definitely worth the trip. Ms. Chen added us on WeChat a day in advance to book transportation, and promptly took us to the meeting point at 8:00 AM the next morning. Lunch, although a vegetarian buffet, included over eighty dishes, and it was all delicious. Each person was given a bottle of water on the shuttle bus. The Song Dynasty tea ceremony and fan-based activities were very interesting. We could take the fans home, and we also sampled West Lake Longjing tea and snacks, which were quite delicious and provided a good rest. Finally, the tour didn't end abruptly. Ms. Chen gave each of us a map to our destination and even led us to the bus station, watching us board before leaving. This was my first time joining a group tour on Ctrip, and it turned out to be surprisingly good!
