Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    City lights and river views mark a walk along The Bund elevated walkway. Historic buildings are all lighted simultaneously at 6 pm in winter. Modern buildings across the river has more moving light show effects.

    Kelly’s shop is great! The fabric quality and cut are fantastic! Very reasonable price for custom clothing. Kelly is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable about fashion. Fast delivery in your hotel. Don’t think twice, this is the shop for you!

    Worth visiting, if you like Chinese gardens. It was very crowded, so not possible to relax. Reserve at least one hour to cover the whole area.

    We didn’t actually go into the tower, but took lots of pictures of it from a distance. It’s just beautiful at night, and even with the bad weather we really enjoyed how the colors changed.

    Taken DiDi from Shanghai Bund area approximately 45 to 55m to reach this ancient city , Things I love was great experience of costume + make up (face & hair) + photograher only cost RMB199 each person . In fact , admission is FOC if you plan to just walk , eat and chill there , can avoid buying tickets . Fruit juice and dumplings is nice . It may be too commercialized as Ancient Town but nearest from Shanghai City Center .

    Long pedestrian street full of shops and even more people. Here you can find stores like H&M and many other western brands. You can also find domestic shops, selling just about anything. Great street to people watch. Beware of the people asking you to buy watches and bags as these are very cheap imitations

    We visited Shanghai Disneyland in a midweek day in December. It is a low season in China, and Shanghai Disneyland offers a discount of a RMB 100 food voucher if you purchase the ticket online or via app at least one day prior. The entrance ticket is 475 RMB, which is quite reasonable considering the number of major attractions hosted at Shanghai Disneyland.
    We arrived the park at 8:30, around park opening time. However, we learnt that if you planned to make the rope drop, you probably will need to arrive 1hr before the parking opening. The reason is that there is a very long walk and queue line between the taxi/hotel shuttle drop off parking lot and the actual park entrance. You also need to pass both security and park entrance, which slows down the queue.
    As we are visiting during the low season, the queue length for the attraction of the park is quite reasonable. The attraction with the longest queue is the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, at 75 minutes. The other rides are as follows: Tron at 30 minutes, Soaring over the horizon at 30 minutes, Rex’s Racer at 30 minutes, Many Adventure of Winnie the Pooh at 20 minutes, Peter Pan’s flight at 20 minutes, Voyage to the Crystal Grotto at 20 minutes, Pirates of the Caribbean Battle for the Sunken Treasure at 20 minues, Zootopia: Hot Pursuit at 30 minutes. The wait is pretty bearable, without the pricey Disney Premier Access pass. Considering the size of the Shanghai Disneyland park, it has quite a good number of headline attractions to keep the visitor entertained.
    Overall, we find the Disneyland experience pleasant, and the staffs are friendly and hard working. We have watched the parade, and find that the cast members on the parade work pretty hard to engage the audience.
    As our ticket includes a 100 RMB food voucher, we dined at the Disneyland Resort. Overall, the price and the quality of the food is reasonable considering that we were at Disneyland. The redemption procedure of the food voucher is a bit complicated. You have to first scan the ticket with Disney WeChat app or Disney app, and then redeem the voucher at the restaurant. Many restaurant ordering stations fail to process the voucher, and you have to go to a special human assistance station to process the voucher and the order. Though the human assistant is quite helpful to assist us with the food order.
    Due to the poor air quality during our visit, the Shanghai Disneyland cancel all fireworks for the evening show. That is a disappoint for the visitors.

    I saw a lot of old buildings and stores,many of them with unique decorative styles, and strolled along this old street full of stories and moods. I took a lot of photos here and love the sights!

    Top of the Pyrimids Exhibition:-
    This is a special exhibition of a few hundred selected pieces from the time of the pharaohs, brought from the Cairo Museum on a government to government initiative. You need to book your ticket and timeslot online. Exhibits were very well presented, although the written descriptions of the exhibits in english were too brief. You can rent a audio machine to have a better explanation on the exhibits. Go on a weekday if possible as the weekend crowd can be overwhelming, although the visitors allowed in are controlled by the number of tickets sold. For non China citizens, you require your passport to enter the museum. Your online booking is linked to your passport details. Make sure you fill in your passport details correctly when doing your online booking, became if the information does not tally, you will not be allowed into the museum. Its worth the 2 to 3 hour time to visit this exhibition.

    Tianzifang is one of the popular tourist destinations in Shanghai for shopping and experiencing local culture and lifestyle. It is located in the old French concession area. The area has mainly retained the "authentic and original" feeling because it has not been reconstructed or rebuilt. Instead visitors will get to see buildings, shophouses, alleys and streets of the old French concession area with Chinese "culture".

    It has now become famous as a "rabbit warren" of arts and crafts shops, with restaurants, bars, cafes, souvenir and boutique shops etc. It has become touristy but still a good place to have a feel of the local touch.

    I enjoy walking around in the small lanes around the old ancient buildings with beautiful decorations as it is quite difficult to find them these days due to the city redevelopment!

    We came here to look around and shop and stayed to lunch. The area is an interesting stroll and there are indoor air conditioned shops if high end shopping is your thing. Steets were busy and full of happy shoppers. Lots of variety and options to eat.

    We visited here in August 2019 on a tour. Although we were only here for a couple of hours, it was no where near enough time to get through all the shops and food stalls and sights. August is a very busy time and there were many many people everywhere. The architecture was wonderful, and so much to see. Definitely worth the visit. Leave yourself enough time.

    A walk along the rivers embankment is certainly something you should do when in Shanghai, on one side you have the ultra modern financial district with the skyscrapers and on the other you have all the old architecture, seeing so many boats go along the river with people enjoying the views. The cruise is a must as well.
