Song Dynasty Town
Mentioned on
Attraction
Sights & Landmarks
Song Dynasty Town is a cultural and amusement park that offers a blend of entertainment, Chinese folk art displays, and haunted houses. Developed in 1985 as Yellow Dragon Cave, it has transformed into an archaized amusement park with religious and humanistic culture. The park imitates the style of the Song Dynasty with a focus on 'Good Luck' - a traditional Chinese custom. Spanning 20 hectares, it's one of China's largest theme parks dedicated to Song Culture.
Songcheng Town Romance Park in Hangzhou is a must-see for anyone interested in Chinese history, culture and entertainment. More than just an amusement park, it is a meticulously recreated world of the Song Dynasty, offering a vivid and immersive look into the golden age of Chinese civilization. The park's architecture and layout were inspired by a famous ancient painting. Strolling through the streets, such as Pudong and Puxi, you will feel like you are lost in a bustling Songcheng Town.
The highlight of any visit to Songcheng is undoubtedly the “Romance of the Songcheng” show. In addition to the main show, the park also offers a wide range of other attractions, performances and folk activities.
Songcheng Town is a large park with many shows and attractions. To fully experience everything, plan to spend a full day or at least half day there.
Impress with statement "给我一天， 还你千年 - Give me one day, I'll give you a thousand years". Worth it.
Entrance fee: 350 yuan/person

It is a castle during the Southern Song Dynasty in China. There are various things to enjoy as a theme park, but I thought it would have been better to leave more traditional parts.
Absolutely beautiful experience, plz visit early and spend the entire day here, explore all the spots before dark, once it gets dark enjoy the view by the canal of the song town and enjoy the magical theatre. It is absolutely worth it , don’t miss the theatre performance and street performances. Dress up, as there are many rental inside the venue who give traditional clothes at decent price for the day. It has many photo spots to enjoy
I don't think it's worth 350 yuan to visit here. The shows that more like Indian belly dance than Chinese. Im not sure in Song dynasty that type of dance was popular. The layout is so confusing that we couldn't plan to see the shows on time
It over exaggerated. You also need to know some history too.
Amazing place. The main performance is truly not to be missed… wasn’t expecting much but we were truly amazed. There were horses, acrobatics, fire, water, snow… The performances were great and shared bits of famous folklore and chinese history. Would have been great if there was audio guide for non chinese tourists to provide them with more context but it was fine for us as we’re Singaporean chinese and grew up learning bits and pieces of chinese history.
Best performance i have watch in china. Rain, lake, waterfall, real horse in the theatre. Understanding history in a very interesting way. Buy your tickets at least 1 day before.
A must-visit in Hangzhou! The park offers a stunning recreation of Song Dynasty culture, with beautiful architecture, engaging activities, and the incredible "Romance of the Song Dynasty" show. A bit crowded and pricey, but worth it for the immersive experience.
A massively impressive Song dynasty- theme park with multiple performances which will wow you. Lots of variety of food and drinks. The main performance in Theatre 1 was spectacular with a display of CGI, special effects, gymnasts, flying stunts, and elaborately dressed dancers.
The earthquake performance in Theatre 5 is worth your time too. Invoked many emotions.
There are also VR and 3D activities eg dinasour and Star Wars experiences.
The entire parked is covered ie you can enjoy the place rain or shine.
My only gripe is the fact that everything is in mandarin and therefore one misses out on many nuances if one isn’t a native mandarin speaker.
Nrbethelrsd I still enjoyed the experience.

Lingyin Temple
Mentioned on
Buddhist temple
Sights & Landmarks
Lingyin Temple, the oldest Buddhist temple in Hangzhou dating back to 328 CE, has been rebuilt multiple times due to damage from fires and warfare. The temple is a fascinating blend of ancient tradition and modernity, with millennial-pink cafes and modern monuments juxtaposed against its historic stone carvings. Visitors can embark on a tour of Hangzhou that includes a cruise on the lake, followed by a visit to Lingyin Temple for an immersive experience in Chinese Buddhism.
Breathtaking ancient temple! Founded in 326AD with 1,700 years of history, one of China's ten most famous Buddhist temples. Nestled in lush Wulin Mountains, truly lives up to "Temple of the Soul's Retreat". Impressive entrance hall and heavenly king statues. Deeply serene experience!
Phoenix Y — Google review
The place is nice but very busy. I enjoyed the climb — about 350 meters up to reach the temple at the top. The view and atmosphere are beautiful, but it’s quite touristic. There’s also a cable car if you prefer not to walk. It’s a bit expensive, yet still a very spiritual experience, though there were too many people for my taste.
Before coming to Hangzhou, I did a very good research about the place and everyone said that I need to see this place. I loved the architecture of the temple. The guide explained to us lots of details we needed to know. This temple has the biggest gold coated (33 kgs of gold) buddah. It was nice to see how people worship at this temple. The place can be very crowded.
Historic place, ancient temple with many idols, Buddha, and many other saints and monks. It's a very divine place, crowded with a lot of people, and features clean, organized maintenance. Worth visiting to get blessings from the divine powers.
The entire area is huge and you can take whole day to visit all the temples and peaks. Took a cab to the place, but you need to alight at the carpark outside and walk about 10min to the entrance. The road to the place was jammed too. The short taxi ride from Yue temple took more than 30min. There are also many interesting shop on the way to the Lingyin temple. There are also many restaurants at the main entrance. The shade and breezy wind help to make the visit more enjoyable in summer. Spent about 1-2hours only manage to visit Lingyin temple only. This temple alone is big.
We took the metro Line 1 from Wulin Square and the bus or you can book taxi go to here.
A spacious pagoda with many stone Budda on the moutain
Vast, expansive temple, crowded over the weekend, particularly in the main hall where a ceremony was taking place.
If you are into Buddhism, this is the place to go. I have never seen such a huge Buddha statue carved out of wood. I think it’s also the biggest one globally. It lies within the national park and you have to buy an extra ticket for it

Xixi National Wetland Park
Mentioned on
National park
Nature & Parks
Xixi National Wetland Park, often referred to as the "kidney of Hangzhou" due to its cleansing properties, is a picturesque destination located just a 20-minute drive from West Lake. This expansive park boasts an array of ponds, lakes, swamps, and villages dating back to the Han dynasty. Visitors can immerse themselves in the vivid cultural heritage and witness ancient crafts such as silk farming and book engraving.
Pleasant park with lots of walking paths. Plenty of small restaurants within the park boundary. We stayed overnight at a charming hotel called the Xixi Fan Yuan Hotel (凡云酒店） which was walking distance to a museum, a “walking street” with eateries and arts and craft shops.

It's a very big natural park with greenery & colors. Different types of Trees, Flowers, mini streams pond available. Also mini Tulip festival happens in April. Avery good place to pass a day with Family & kids. Amazing place.
Xixi national werland Park is really a treasure, it’s a very big park so I walked a lot. The place is tranquil and beautiful and it seems to go back in time. I had fun searching for shrines, little houses and bridges 🌳🦋
Nice big wetland with canals for boat rides but unfortunately the guides on the boats don’t speak any English. Also where are all the birds? A wetland park like this should be teeming with water birds, but all I have seen so far is one duck and one Herron.
Plenty of places to buy food and drinks at the boat piers.
Finally if you have difficulty walking the paving of the footpaths is quite uneven.
It is a local park and attraction. CNY 80 entrance fee, which I thought is a bit high. There isn’t much to see. The staff at the information counter isn’t too helpful and patient. Maybe it is nicer during spring time when flower blossom.
A city park in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. It is full of lakes, ponds, streams and greenery. A lovely place to walk and there is a lot of wildlife there, despite what some reviews say. I saw invertebrates, amphibians, birds, fish, and one mammal (a bat) in the space of about 3 hours. There are also plenty of food vendors, shops, and some museums and art exhibitions. Entry to the park is free, but the boat trips, hot air balloon, and Gao's mansion all cost, I think. Well worth a visit if you are in or near Hangzhou.
Top ❤️.
One of the top places in all China ❤️.
Worth the travel, must visit during a trip in East China, for a well-preserved wetland scenery, animals and plants, temples and traditional buildings 😊✨👍
What a beautiful wetland park, and the ticket is free. The scenic area is very large. We stayed at the Sheraton Hotel next to it and spent 6 days visiting the park. We took a walk in the park every morning. It was full of green trees, birds and flowers. It was a pity that there was too little tourist content available on Google Maps. Basically, there was no information on this map. I hope foreign tourists will download local maps. Hangzhou has a lot of food and attractions.

Xihu Lake is absolutely stunning—a perfect blend of natural beauty. The lakeside is dotted with plenty of eateries and shops, making it easy to take breaks while exploring. The tram service is a fantastic addition, stopping at most points of interest around the lake. Highly recommend for a leisurely day out!
West Lake in Hangzhou is absolutely stunning and peaceful. The mix of mountains, temples, gardens, and calm water creates a picture-perfect view. A wonderful place to walk, take a boat ride, and enjoy the beauty of traditional Chinese scenery.
West Lake is beautiful, with amazing views and a peaceful atmosphere. However, it’s really overcrowded, especially on weekends, which makes it hard to fully enjoy the scenery.
Nice place to walk around the edge of the lake. The boat ride is also ok. West lake is one of the few tourist attractions in hangzhou. And near the west lake, there are many shops, most of them international brands. Walk along the lake bank, walk across the stores/shops and the boat ride is interesting.

The walking trail around the Lake is about 11km - mostly flat with well-maintained pathways. There are lots of resting spot with shade, facilities kiosk, toilets, restaurants dotted around the Lake. The popular Leifeng Pagoda is quite far to walk to from the West Lake Metro. The tourist "electric train" is a convenient option, although the trip doesn't always has a view of the Lake.
There is a 15 minutes Lazer Show at night at around 7.30pm at the Scenic Area Music Fountain.

Yanyu Tower is located on the island in the middle of Nanhu Lake, Nanhu Street, Nanhu District, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, China. Its history can be traced back to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. It was originally on the lakeside and was rebuilt in the middle of the lake during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Since then, pavilions and other ancillary buildings have been built around it. The buildings form a garden building complex with Yanyu Tower as the center. The current Yanyu Tower was built in the seventh year of the Republic of China (1918), and most of the other buildings were built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.
In the seventh year of the Republic of China (1918), the Yanyu Building was rebuilt again, which is now the building. At the same time, the Bayong Pavilion was moved to Pingshan in the city. During the Anti-Japanese War, Yanyu Building was once occupied by the Japanese invaders and used as the canteen of the Central China Railway Company.
In early August of the 10th year of the Republic of China (1921), the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China was moved from Shanghai to a cruise ship in Nanhu. During this period, the Yanyu Tower served as a resting place for representatives.

民國七年（1918）再度重建煙雨樓，即今樓，同時將八詠亭移建於城內瓶山。抗戰期間煙雨樓曾一度被侵華日軍強占作為華中鐵道公司食堂。
民國十年（1921）8月初，中國共產黨第一次全國代表大會從上海轉移到南湖的一條遊船上繼續舉行，期間煙雨樓曾作為代表休息之處，後南湖和煙雨樓成為中國共產黨誕生的見證和象徵之一

Nice quiet little town to stay and explore for a day. Took the opportunity to do a photoshoot in hanfu here as it is less busy. The place is very clean and there are many small shops selling souvenir, hanfu rental and eateries. One of the bar street is also very lively at night.
Take a scenic boat or visit the musuem to enjoy the experience of ancient town.

This place encompasses the historical, ancient and water-town attractions in and around the city of Wuxi , located in the Jiangnan region . Recommend to visit at night time …colorful lighting the scenic grand canal. So many Chinese food stores for trying..yami 😋 good experience on the traditional boat along the canal then back by ancient car …immerse in the charm of Jiangnan. Easy to visit as it is in town .
On our way to Hangzhou we made a stopover and tour around Xitang Ancient Town. It was a long walk but very educational. There were a lot of local tourists and some who were having photoshoots in their traditional costumes. There were also food stalls along the way and a scenic boat ride for a fee. So many areas to take photos and sit. The place brings you back to old China. So beautiful!
Toilets can be found nearby. The alleys have cobblestone path and a bit hard to walk on. We ended our walk at the South gate where we had lunch.
This place was wonderful! I spent 3 days staying in a very nice small hotel next to the water(about 30 usd a night).
During the day you can walk around checking out the sights or stopping at a local coffee shop to relax. There's also restaurants and shopping you can do.
At night you can also enjoy the night views or go enjoy the night life. They have several bars and night clubs if you are into that.
Oh and they filmed Mission Impossible 3 here.. Cool!!
Romantic place indeed
My favorite city I visited in China. It is small and simple but full of history and fun. The food is amazing and you will not find another city that is as beautiful as this one. The rivers at sunset make the city glow.
Fantastic... definitely worth a visit

Tongli Ancient Town
Mentioned on
Scenic spot
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
Tongli Ancient Town, located in the southern outskirts of Suzhou, is a well-known water town with a history of over 1000 years. The town is characterized by its intricate network of rivers that divide it into several parts, creating a picturesque setting with old residences and hidden gardens. This ancient town has also served as the backdrop for shows adapted from Wuxia novels.
An old water town with many residents. It is very quiet and peaceful after 8pm and before 9am. Nice to watch the locals’ way of life by the river.
Ticket price is RMB100 if you were to enter between 8am and 5.15pm. The ticket allows for visits to several attractions in Tongli. Take a train via Line 4 to Tongli MRT and exit via 9 and 10 to catch a free tram to this water town. Tram operates from 7am to 7.15pm. Takes approximately 15min to reach the Tongli Ancient Town North Entrance.
We stayed in the water town for 4 nights. Though it takes approx 1hr train ride to town, we love the slow pace here. The water town preserves its original building structure and hence the accommodations may be old. There are many accommodations within walking distance of the water town which have better facilities.

We came here around 6pm, no one asked for the tickets. Good place to spend some time. Many ancient structures are present here. Ladies are wearing ancient dress and make up and doing photography adding some ancient vibes. KFC and McDonald is also there.
Beautiful water town, not crowded at all in August! It’s better to stay one night inside the scenic area to really appreciate it.
Extraordinary location near Suzhou.
The town is very alive, with many stalls, markets and shops ensuring a vibrant environment.
The many bridges connecting the sides of the town are stunning works of fine stone masonry.
One could only imagine how it would have been in the 19th century.
Truly deserving of the title, “Venice of the East”.
The most beautiful place in the world ❤️❤️❤️ Classical gardens are 2000 years old! Live pictures! And the windows on the walls are their frames! So much beauty in every millimeter! Very shocking place! I wanted to die there and stay forever!!! I felt happiness, and all my senses were overflowing with impressions! Something that I wish every person to see in their lifetime - this is the ancient city of Tongli ❤️❤️❤️
Lots of walking, sorry to said not much things worth buying & the cafe we visited are so pricey. And need to pay RMB100 per person to enter the town.
Visited in Apr. This is the perfect relaxing water town to explore leisurely - beautiful, serene, retains a sense of authenticity, lively yet not overwhelmingly crowded (unlike Suzhou’s famous waterside streets which are so crowded it’s impossible to enjoy). Tongli Town is compact and extremely conducive for exploration on foot.
Allocated a full day for day trip from Shanghai. Explore and soak in the atmosphere leisurely (rather than squeezing in whirlwind stop) especially for families with small kids. Took an excellent boat ride, explored a old buildings/gardens, the famous bridges and take a simple but relaxing, pleasant lunch stop at one of the canal side restaurants to sample local cuisine and chat with friendly locals. Lots of quaint coffee shops around town.
Ticket buying at tourist centre was quick and hassle free (free for seniors and kids below 1.4m) - tickets for accessing buildings / gardens.
25 min boat ride recommended - clean, well maintained boats, relaxing and nice way to see the town.
Rmb150 per boat. Nice view. Do not let her sing for you. Its RMB 20 per song. She will sing 5.

Not the best beach but its decent to escape the city for a while. Dog friendly, no waves and some plastic in the water.
Cool place. Looks kinda like beach area with couple shops, few restaurants, and sightseeing places.

Pretty decent place for wakeboarding.

Thames Town, situated in Songjiang, Shanghai, is a unique destination designed to resemble a classic English village. The town features charming cobbled streets and picturesque Tudor-style homes that exude an authentic British countryside ambiance. Upon entering Thames Town, visitors are transported into a European movie-like setting with every detail reflecting strong British influences. The iconic Gothic-style church at the town's center adds to the enchanting atmosphere reminiscent of ancient English churches.
Far from Shanghai 1 hours, less people come, nice environment with beautiful flowers. Saw the couples came here for weeding photo. Lawson enjoying hot latte and new Orleans chicken drumsticks is yummy
Michelle C — Google review
I’m British and I have a passing interest in urban architecture so I thought it would be interesting to visit this novel area to see how this supposed modal of a quaint British town would look.
In some ways it actually felt a little strange feeling, seeing these vague reimagining of old style British buildings and streets, but everything feeling empty and abandoned made it feel a little ghostly.
I was also hoping to see a few European style cafes and even maybe a British style pub to grab a pint, which would have added to the novelty, but sadly I couldn’t see anything that would match the theme.
It was still an interesting visit although it did take almost two hours from the centre of Shanghai taking the subway and then walking from the station.
In reality Themes Town was originally created as a residential project, not as a tourist attraction, but I think they can definitely lean more into the latter by embracing the novelty and it could become a more fun place to visit.
around 30 mins bike ride (10mins didi) from the closest metro station. Nice scenery while you walking really different image of shanghai id advise taking a cab there from the metro than cycling back. The town itself is a average rendition of an English town. handful of cafes and gift shops worth dropping into . Towards the lake has lovely landscape and ideal for Dates, Picnics etc.
Feel a little cheated to come all the way here and there is nothing much. It’s not really worth it unless you have a lot of time to spare in Shanghai. Or you are looking for somewhere to take wedding photo. Thames town is a residential estate so don’t expect anything to shop or even eat. Just a few eateries targeting on tourist. The place is not very big so you can finish in half an hour. A lot of couples took their wedding shots here.
I don't know where to start. At some point this was maybe a good idea but then hardly anyone moved in and those who did moved out because no commerce got started and then the weeds and wedding photography studios took over. I feel sorry for anybody like me who thought they could grab a pint in a proper local pub. I was trying the door for far too long before it dawned on me there is nobody home in Thames Town. It should be rebranded as a huge Britain-themed film lot.
Fairly interesting 'British Town' in Shanghai. Has a church, winding cobbled streets and mock tudor housing. Could be improved with 'british' cafes or even a British pub! It is a bit of a ghost town to be honest. There are quite a lot of couples taking pre-wedding photos which is nice. If taking the subway, get out at Songjiang Xincheng (Line 9) and take the bus (松江16) rather than walking the whole way, as it's quite a walk (about an hour). It's free to walk around.
Very cool place for shooting, kinda European style village. Was extremely happy to visit it. And you have to take a cab or a bus to get there, but its pretty affordable.
If you have time enough, nice to visit half a day.
Quite far from city center. There are similar towns, like Holland town but this one seemed to me the most busy and occupied.

Shanghai Zhujiajiao Ancient Town Tourist Zone

Sights & Landmarks
Shanghai Zhujiajiao Ancient Town Tourist Zone, often called the Venice of Shanghai, is a historic water town with a legacy spanning over 1700 years. This charming destination is renowned for its ancient temples, traditional houses, and picturesque bridges that showcase its cultural significance.
Took DiDi from the city, about 50mins. The entry walk to the area are lined with various tea, food & souvenir shops.
Once you are in the old town, it was crowded especially along the alleyways where shops offered food, handicrafts, clothes, pearls, hand & beauty creams & one modern medicine shop.
The canal was busy with the occasional boat rides rowing past, the bridges were crowded with people taking photos, especially those who dressed up in the period dresses from the numerous shops offering this service. It was quaint & delightful to observe.
A good place to spend half a day or so + lunch in the number of interesting inns there.
Adeline O — Google review
A great place to visit when in Shanghai - tourist friendly.
We booked a guide to take us before heading to the airport and they took care of everything- tickets, transport and most importantly explaining to us the many special places.
Rows of stalls offering snacks (many local cuisines) and souvenirs (including many antique shops and cat/dog cafes) on each side of the river banks.
The boat ride (Additional fee) was great to orientate on arrival.
It was a very old town but lots to see if you enjoy cultural stuff. With the clear blue skies, you will be able to capture awesome pictures with the boat and water. A cafe is there too for you to cool down but it is quite expensive. Overall it is quite an experience 😀😀😀👍👍👍
If you do not have time to visit Suzhou or Hangzhou, here is a great place to see the ancient town built along the intricate waterways. Shops are mostly the same as what you could find in a typical Chinese ancient town selling more or less the same items, so I would instead spend more time reading up the history behind the town. This is accessible from Shanghai city using Metro line 17. However, the journey could take roughly 1.5hr. So do plan your time and take into consideration the long travel time
Visited on 2 January 2025, Thursday.
No tickets required, free entry.
The Zhujiajiao Ancient Water Town is an important tourist destination, about one hour drive from Shanghai city. The Town was established nearly 1700 years ago, famous for stone bridges, waterways and Ming and Qing dynasty architecture. It's also called The "Venice of Shanghai". Its very enjoyable to spend time there, walking along the waterways, taking a boat cruise or relaxing with a cup of tea.
Other places to visit is the landmark Kenzi garden established in 1912. It has a main hall, a garden, and an artificial hill. Fangsheng Bridge is another attraction, best among the 36 ancient stone bridges, It was built in 1812 and supposed to be the largest stone arch bridge in Shanghai.
The Zhujiajiao Ancient Water Town is so beautiful that one can easily spend an entire day there, but a minimum of three hours is needed to see it.
Review for Zhujiajiao ancient Water Town.
To reach there you can take subway from Shanghai Hongqiao subway station.
"Wonderful place! Zhujiajiao Water Town is incredibly well-preserved, with its ancient charm still intact. You'll love strolling along the canals, crossing the many bridges, and taking in the historic architecture. The old houses on the canal banks have been beautifully transformed into restaurants, shops, and local produce stores.
A highlight is the ancient post office turned museum, where you can send letters to yourself or loved ones from special post boxes - they'll be mailed to you in a specific month of a future year of your choice! What a unique experience!
Perfect for a relaxing day trip or a romantic getaway. Highly recommended!" 5/5 stars

I didn't really like this lake because it's too commercialized. There is no clear bike trail. We bike 1/3 of the lake & walked 17 miles around the lake. If you want to see the dance water fountain at night, good luck. The were tsunami of peopl😱
Very breezy when I was there in the evening. Very peaceful place, sit down and relax to have a coffee watching the lake. There are restaurants dotted around the area. Evening time there are people jogging and cycling around the lake. The place is not crowded. Can see the 东方之门 across the lake.
The stunning modern heart of Suzhou. The lake offers a dramatic contrast to the city's ancient quarters, with a glittering skyline featuring the iconic "Suzhou Gate" and the Ferris wheel. Perfect for a long waterfront walk, a bike ride, or simply sitting and admiring the view. The surrounding area is filled with dining and entertainment options.
There's a boardwalk around the lake, and there were hand prints of local celebrities and prominent figures of the arts and film industry along the fencing, as if replicating the Stars Avenue of Hong Kong.
Along this boardwalk, you'll get a good view of 大裤衩 (this building that looks like a pair of underpants) on one side and the Arts Center on the other. The night view of the buildings lit with changing lights is not bad but still a far cry from that of the Victoria Harbour or the Bund. Didn't help that the weather was so hot, even with the sun set, the breeze brings heated air. It was much better the next day after some rain (yes, we went back again for a walk after dinner).
The new walkway around Jinji-Lake is wonderful. Especially at nighttime the lightshows around the lake are fantastic.
I mostly enjoy walking around the 14 km pedestrian walkway around Jiniji Lake. It's a bit commercialized, but if you walk it late at night, it's peaceful and beautiful. AND...the only public drinking fountain I've found in China!! At least 5 of the spaced around the lake. Don't worry; the water is boiled, put in a holding tank, then pumped to the faucet as you drink from it. :-)
Love this lake view so much

Shanghai Happy Valley, also known as the South Gate, is a popular destination for families and thrill-seekers alike. During the tourism festival, visitors can enjoy half-price tickets, but be prepared for long queues at popular attractions. The park offers a wide range of amusement facilities including roller coasters, carousels, and pirate ships to cater to all types of tourists.
(Translated by Google) Great place, bought a ticket on trip.com, a combo for two days of water park and attractions, the first day we went to the attractions, there are practically no queues, a little disappointed that raincoats are not included in the ticket price on the water slide and things can only be left in their storage room, also for a fee, rode all the attractions, and there was still time left. I especially liked the wooden slide and next to it the red slide with almost vertical descents. The next day we went to the water park. About how to get there, SHESHAN metro station, we get off and cross to the other side of the road, there is a free bus, there are different buses to the attractions and the water park. I also liked the water park, but I didn’t like the fact that when you get the key to the storage room, they don’t give you towels and be especially careful in the showers, don’t leave things unattended on the bench, there are no cameras and no one has cancelled theft, while my daughter was washing herself in the shower, a bag with shorts and panties was taken, accidentally or intentionally, we never figured out. That's how civilization is and they searched the cameras but didn't find who took it, it left an unpleasant aftertaste. Also, overall, it's a very good water park.

Отличное место, брали билет по trip.com, комбо на два дня аквапарк и аттракционы, первый день сходили на аттракционы, очередей практически нет, немного огорчило, что на водяной горке дождевики не входят в стоимость билета и вещи можно оставить только в их камере хранения тоже платно, покатались на всех аттракционах, ещё и время осталось. Особенно понравилась деревянная горка и рядом с ней красная горка с почти вертикальными спусками. На следующий день пошли в аквапарк. По поводу как добраться станция метро SHESHAN, выходим и переходим на другую сторону дороги там бесплатный автобус, на аттракционы и аквапарк разные автобусы. Аквапарк тоже понравился, но не понравилась то, что при получение ключа от камеры хранения не выдают полотенца и будьте особо внимательны в душевых не оставляйте вещи без присмотра на скамейке, там нет камер и воровство никто не отменял у меня у дочери пока она мылась в душе забрали пакет с шортами и трусами, случайно или намеренно так и не разобрались. Вот так вот цивилизация и по камерам искали не нашли кто взял, остался неприятный осадок. Так же в целом очень хороший аквапарк.

The rollercoasters are great, however, during my visit they were not all open.
The facility seems bigger than it needs to be, and some decorations seem really odd or unkempt.
However, if you are into rollercoasters, then it may be worth a visit.

Clean, so tidy up, fresh, traditional and authentic. Beauty park to visit. A lot of their local tourism from other cities.
Many stores with a budget. You can buy a Chinese souvenir also for food rich of choice.
Definitely worth a visit. We were there in late August and it was really quiet so we had everything for ourselves. The people are nice and are ready to help you find your way. The architecture is really interesting and all the shops sell, sometimes touristy, nice pieces of souvenirs or other nice things. Only a 23 minute ride with Line 9 to Qibao station.
Qibao Old Street delivers a lively, compact experience of a traditional Jiangnan water town (south of the Yangtze River) without requiring a long journey from central Shanghai. The old town is visually charming, featuring classic … More
Really disappointing. Overcrowded, extremely small and not well maintained. Compared to every other place in China this is just a smelly no.
For seniors and first-time visitors to China, it may be a place to visit in Shanghai. You can stroll around the neighborhood and enjoy a lot of street food. However, the buildings here are actually rebuilt after the original ancient buildings were demolished, so if you want to explore real historical cultural monuments, this may not be your first choice.
PS Avoid coming on public holidays
It's easy to get to from downtown Shanghai by subway, so I think it's a great place for tourists to go. There was a wide variety of street food, and it was fun just to look around.
Absolutely mesmerising! A different part of the world! Youve got to be there during the day and at night- its a splendid area when its all lit up in lights. You get to see the history of china merging with modernity. You see chinese dressed in cultural attire. Food isnt the best- mostly traditional chinese.

With over 70 rare vehicles on display, visitors can explore the evolution of modern cars and learn about the assembly of different car parts.
Informative and interactive museums!
A large collection of antique cars.
You can rent an audio player to guide you thru, there is English and mandarin option.
The cafe on the top floor is ok, we only got a coffee. And btw you are allowed to bring along the coffee when you browse.
There is a “Antique Car Experience” for paying about ¥300 which already includes 2adults and 1 or 2 children entrance tickets. A 20 mins ride to a nearby park where you can take good look at the car and take photos!
This museum gives you the history of automobile from invention, to adding speed elements, to modifications and manufactures.
It is almost like the Patterson automobile museum in LA, if you know which one

Visited in February 22, on a Sunday. Started to get busy in the afternoon, but quiet in the morning. The museum shows great samples well preserved historical cars from different countries. It is definitely worth a visit if you like history of transportation. You also get a glimpse of what Shanghai looked 100 years ago for transport , roads and traffic.
Well curated museum and lots of information as long as you get a guide. Without a guide you're just looking at the eye candy. It's in the middle of nowhere if you are staying in downtown Shanghai so it may be a trek. If you love cars though, it's worth a visit. Although imyou may have seen all these cars before with the exception of the China specific cars.
The happiest moment during the Shanghai Auto Museum work visit on 2025-06-15.
Best car museum I’ve been to, great activities and very interactive.

Car museum located in the Anting Shanghai International Auto City area. Definitely a must see if you are interested in cars especially classic cars. 60 RMB for an adult ticket.
Open Tuesday-Sunday 9:30am to 4:30pm. Closed earlier in the day than expected so take note to get there earlier. I easily spent over 3 hours browsing the 3 floors of cars and information.
First floor has the history of the automobile from the wheel to the first diesel engine, auto transmission, and assembly line. Lots of cool stuff to see.
Next floor has a history of the automobile in China.
3rd floor is comprised of antique classic car collections and an extended range of miniature car models.
On the top level there is a learning and discovering area for children and adults which teaches you about how cars work and the parts of the car (engine combustion cycle, transmission, suspension, steering, etc.) All of the children's stuff is in Chinese however. Also F1 racing simulators on this level.
There is a gift shop by the entrance that sales lots of miniature car models.
Great if you can occupy yourself, not many guide options and only restroom I saw was on the top floor.
Definitely check it out for the classic cars alone.
One of the best example of automotive history I’ve been to. A fantastic blend of history of the car in China evolved as well as many international examples. Well worth the visit.
Many classic and golden era cars, few modern. If you like cars then it worthy to travel to the other side of Shanghai to see.

Tinglin Park is a serene and picturesque destination located just 30 minutes from Kunshan. This ancient town is known for its waterways, bridges, and beautiful cherry blossoms in the spring. The park itself features stunning gardens filled with blooming azaleas and cherry blossoms during this season, offering visitors the perfect setting for a leisurely stroll, a peaceful picnic, or even some bird watching.
Beautiful park in the heart of Kunshan with little bridges, a mountain you can hike to the top (10 minutes max.) and gardens and bamboo forest. Simply wonderful. There is also a cat cafeteria and library inside and the staff is very welcoming and speaks English. Two cats live there as well.

When you visit Kunshan, it's hard to imagine not visiting Tinglin Park. Admission is a very understandable 20 RMB, it is very centrally located and easily accessible (Bus 1 from Kunshan (slow train) station) and the views are on par with some of the gardens in Suzhou with only a fraction of the tourists.
A recent expansion has almost doubled the size of the park so be prepared to walk quite a bit. In the centre of the park is a mountain that features a variety of ways to climb it, ranging from roads and stairs to more challenging natural paths. From the mountain top, there are outstanding views of Kunshan.
Spring is probably the best season to visit but when we visited in the winter, it was still gorgeous if in a more bleak way. Take some of the less obvious trails and paths and you will be rewarded with some excellent photo opportunities.
Pro Tip: Summer evenings occasionally feature outdoor Chinese opera performances in the gardens and "walking" on the ponds (through optical illusion). The opera features English subtitles on a screen. Even if Chinese opera is not your thing, you will definitely not regret this experience. Absolutely not to be missed. Check at the park entry gate for opera times and tickets.
Beautiful park with great views. Only 20 RMB to enter.
It's a nice escape for a walk. It has a small entrance fee. They have done a good job to keep things beautiful and give the visitors the feeling that they are in a "traditional" Chinese garden. It also has a Buda temple. But you can say that nothing is original there, from the waters up in the hill (no spring nearby) to some "rocks" that are actually painted foam. It's about a 3Hours walk to see everything at the park and it sure worth the effort and time.
Nice, well-kept, orderly. No wheels chair access.
Quiet and peaceful place to hang around.
Nice walking through the park and up the hill
why shall we need to pay for park. >"<

Located within the Shanghai International Automobile City, the Shanghai Audi International Circuit is a hub for automotive enthusiasts. It hosts various events including the prestigious Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix. Visitors can explore the Porsche Experience Center and Shanghai Auto Museum. The circuit offers an immersive experience with access to areas like paddocks and grandstands. While it provides excellent views of on-track action, some visitors suggest improvements such as track tours and better amenities like food options and beverage outlets in the grandstand area.
Magnificent race track. I joined a tour around the circuit and the guy was a chilled guy. We visited the media room, race control room, podium stage, and winners waiting room. It’s a really fun experience as a f1 fan to see things up close. There’s also a big karting circuit next to it, recommended as well.

An exceptional experience at the Shanghai Audi International Circuit. The track is world-class, perfectly built for Formula 1, offering both thrilling racing action and an outstanding spectator experience. The organization was seamless, with clear signage, efficient entry, and easy access to various viewing areas.
tour was very nice and went to paddock, grandstands, briefing room etc. One thing missing is a track tour, like Daytona they should have trams that take you for a roundabout, but since they're resurfacing the track now maybe they will in the future. They also need to have an open merch store, and consistent schedules for tours and gokart track, which was supposed to open but never did. The AC was not on and inside it was sweltering and completely deserted with no resteraunt or anything open which is a missed opportunity. Overall it's a great and cheap way to see f1 track, but they need to capitalize on customer needs more.
Shanghai International Circuit for F1 race event.
Consider taking the metro - “Shanghai Circuit” subway station on Line 11 as traffic to the circuit is narrow (1 way in and out) and very congested during these large events.
Very well built F1 track with huge grand stand and lots of facilities. If budget is a factor the best seats are at the K stand hairpin curve. I'd give it 5 stars if those were not occupied by the F1 race in Singapore.
Amazing place to enjoy the extreme speed of F1 racing car. You will have the most lively experience with the engine smoke smell, the noise and the wind. Enjoy the race!
Got the chance to come here for a VIP race in late 2016 and it was awesome. Got to head down to track level and eat some food with the racers. Wicked time. Headed up to the stands to see the beginning of the race and then when it started raining, headed inside to get warm. Awesome event!
Excellent views of most of the circuit, that itself provides plenty of on track action. My only gripe would be some escalators to at least get up a few levels of the very high grandstand, and some better food options, and maybe some beverage outlets in the grandstand itself (on a higher level)
