We booked the opera mask painting experience together with the nine treasure lunch set. The mask painting was really fun and relaxing. We each chose our own design and spent plenty of time painting, chatting and having tea. The staff were friendly and patient, we had so much fun taking photos together in the masks.
Afterwards, we had the Nine Treasure lunch set, which was beautifully presented and a lovely way to finish the experience. There were lots of different flavours and small dishes to try, and everything felt fresh and light. It was nice to sit down together and enjoy the food after the workshop.
It was a really enjoyable afternoon here, good food and something creative to do.

Unique experience in Shanghai
We wanted to try something cultural and a little different during our time in Shanghai, and we had lots of fun with this experience!
We started by painting our own Peking Opera masks. The staff explained the designs and helped us with the painting, but we still had plenty of freedom to make our masks our own. It was a very relaxing workshop.
The dress-up session afterwards was definitely the highlight, we got to put on the traditional Monkey King costume, and the staff helped us with the outfits and showed us how to pose. It was a great mix of learning about Chinese culture and being creative. We also got to take our painted masks home, which made a lovely souvenir from Shanghai. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something more hands-on.

Something different from usual sightseeing
A few of us booked the opera mask painting and dress-up experience to do something different from the usual sightseeing.
We spent most of it painting our own opera masks, with some guidance on the designs and colours. It was very relaxing, and we had a lot of fun seeing how differently everyone's masks turned out.
The dress-up afterwards made the experience even better. We tried on the Monkey King costume and had lots of fun posing and taking photos together. The staff were really friendly and helped us with everything, so nobody felt awkward dressing up!
Definitely a fun combination of traditional culture and creativity!

Loved becoming the Monkey King!
This was a very fun experience. Our son already loves the Monkey King character from Chinese games, so when we saw that he could paint a Monkey King opera mask and then dress up as the character, we knew we had to come.
It was especially interesting for him to see the more traditional side of a character he already knew from games. He had great fun painting the mask, but the highlight was definitely putting on the full costume afterwards. The staff helped him with the outfit and showed him some poses, and he absolutely loved it! We also got some brilliant family photos to take home.
A really enjoyable way for children to connect something familiar to them with traditional Chinese culture. It was definitely one of the most memorable activities of our Shanghai trip.

Fun Cultural Afternoon with Friends
I’m local to Shanghai and brought two friends who were visiting the city here after someone recommended this cultural centre to me. We chose the Peking Opera mask-painting experience and had such a fun afternoon together!
It was a great way for my friends to experience something more hands-on and traditional during their trip, and I enjoyed it just as much as they did. The staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was relaxed.
A lovely place to bring visiting friends if you want to show them a different side of Shanghai!

A Wonderful Family Activity During the Summer Holidays
I brought my two children to this mask-painting experience during our summer holiday in Shanghai, and it was one of our favourite activities of the trip.
The children were fascinated by the colourful masks and the stories behind the different characters. The staff explained everything in a fun and engaging way, making it easy for them to learn about this unique part of Chinese culture while being creative at the same time.
They loved choosing their colours and painting their own masks, and it was wonderful to see how proud they were of their finished creations. The activity was hands-on, interactive, and kept them entertained from beginning to end. The atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly, and the staff were patient and encouraging with the children throughout the workshop. We left not only with beautiful masks to take home, but also with a better understanding of an important Chinese cultural tradition. I would highly recommend this experience to families visiting Shanghai. It's a fun, educational

A Hidden Gem for Couples Visiting Shanghai
My partner and I were looking for a unique cultural activity in Shanghai, and this Peking Opera painting experience was even more fun than we expected. We were given the choice of painting an opera mask or having the designs painted directly on our faces. We decided to paint the masks first, to learn about the colours and patterns while creating our own designs. At the end, we couldn't resist trying the face painting as well, and painting each other's faces turned out to be the highlight of the experience!
The atmosphere was peaceful, immersive, and beautifully decorated, making it easy to forget the busy city outside. The staff were warm, encouraging, and happy to help whenever we needed advice, while still giving us the freedom to be creative.
I recommend this experience for couples or families. It's creative, relaxing, and a great way to experience a unique part of Chinese culture together.

A Fun and Colourful Introduction to Peking Opera
I had such a great time at the Peking Opera mask painting experience! The activity was a wonderful introduction to this unique part of Chinese culture, and the instructor explained the meanings behind the different mask designs and colours before we started painting.
One of the highlights was getting to dress up as the God of Wealth after finishing our masks. The costume was beautiful, and it made the whole experience even more engaging. The staff helped me get dressed, showed me how to pose, and made sure I got some fantastic photos.
The atmosphere was relaxed, and loved being able to take my hand-painted mask home as a souvenir, along with lots of fun memories.
