Do not use Tripadvisor for excursions

Total disaster! The voucher Tripadvisor sent didn’t work at the operator desk and was refused entry. Waste of time and money and couldn’t get a refund. DO NOT USE Tripadvisor for excursions it simply doesn’t work. Fraudulent way of working

Experienced with my wife

Most people focus on the skyscrapers on the Pudong side, but for me, the highlight was seeing the Bund's beautiful Colonial buildings lighted up in gold. The boat provides an excellent panoramic perspective of both sides of the city's history. The boarding at Shiliupu Pier was a little hectic, but once we were on the water, it was much more relaxing.
