Reviews/Trip Moments

Reviews: [Departing from Shanghai] One-Day Tour to West Lake and Lingyin Temple (Exploring the Ink-Wash Jiangnan)
Guest User2026-03-26
We managed to see West Lake, take a boat ride, have lunch, drive past tea plantations, and then stop at a monastery, which was very impressive in its sheer size. The guide spoke only Chinese, despite having WeChat enabled with built-in Russian/English translation. He was poorly connected, failing to explain much about the meeting time, location, and availability. You need to book free tickets to the last temple in advance on WeChat by searching "杭州灵隐飞来峰" and completing all the booking steps. As stated, weekend tickets sell out quickly. Passports are checked at the entrance. Lunch was included (no extra charge), but the setting around the lunch spot doesn't really resemble the tea plantations: there were lots of noisy tour groups and dirty restrooms. We wouldn't have been able to see so much in one day on our own. We used this option as a transfer. Keep in mind the travel time: Shanghai-Hangzhou (3 hours), from the lunch spot to the monastery (1 hour), Hangzhou-Shanghai (5 hours). We were there on Sunday.
Reviews: Half-Day Tour to Zhujiajiao Ancient Town [Explore the Millennial Water Town with Timeless Charm and Lively Atmosphere]

It was a pretty fun to visit and half day trip although you get quite bored at the end. We thought the boat ride was included but it turned out that it was additional fee. I would say the boat ride was unique but not worth the price.
Reviews: Tickets for the must-see ERA Time Travel Acrobatic Show in Shanghai

I took my mother there for her birthday, and it was an incredible gift! The shows are beautiful, traditional, and innovative all at once. The techniques are impressive.

The show was very interesting and dynamic. We got seats in Zone B (don't hesitate to take them) and everything was perfectly visible. Zone A isn't much different from Zone B, but if you want the best view, it's best to book the VIP zone.
Reviews: Shanghai Day Tour to Zhujiajiao Water Town and City Attractions(Private Car & Ticket)

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: 1-day tour to Zhujiajiao Ancient Town and Shanghai Film Park in Shanghai (Visit the "Venice of Shanghai")

We booked this trip thinking it’s an English guide but turns out it was a Chinese speaking guide so please be aware of this. Despite the language barrier, instructions and communication was clear both on WeChat and in person. The guide was very informative and made sure everyone had a good time and knew what to expect throughout the whole day. Highly recommend
