My girlfriend and I...
My girlfriend and I booked this class and were super relieved when we met the 4-person minimum and the group got confirmed! We felt so lucky, and the experience itself was fantastic. The instructor was incredibly patient with our folding skills, and we ended up eating a mountain of delicious dumplings. Perfect date activity!

It really is a perfect date activity in Shanghai.
