Reviews: Shanghai Yu Garden + City God Temple Traditional Culture Experience: Preview the Lunar New Year Lantern Festival with Optional Chinese Tea
Guest User2025-11-30
Teacher Mao was very professional. A native of Shanghai, she was extremely familiar with Yu Garden and provided a very detailed explanation throughout the tour. The process wasn't tiring at all. We heard many stories about the garden, some of which weren't even online but were only recorded in the county annals. It was very vivid and interesting. She even took us to the City God Temple before the tour ended. It was definitely worth the trip! Yu Garden truly needs a guided tour; otherwise, you simply won't understand it! This trip was very worthwhile!★

Guest User2025-06-26
The driver and guide Joe is a really wonderful person. We were a group of 5 people and he helped us a lot. One of us is a person in a wheelchair, so he helped even with it coz he had to move in such a wheelchair for half a year.★

Reviews: Yu Garden + City God Temple Tourist Area + Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower + Huangpu River Cruise with optional Chinese tea and dim sum
Guest User2025-09-13
It was a nice tour that covered a lot without rushing to much. My highlights we're definitely the views from the Pearl Tower (which also has a really nice Shanghai history museum) and the boat. Instead of "classic" tea we had Bubble Tea we opted for Bubble Tea which was a nice surprise.
