Yu Garden and Tea
My guide Sunni met me at the hotel and we headed off to Old Town to see the shops and visit Yu Garden. The Qing dynasty garden is an amazing collection of pond, pavilions and bonsai, I spent a short time there but you easily spend hours, it does get crowded. We went and had a tea tasting in old town, Sunni’s family has a tea plantation and she was in the know on types and preparation. Highly recommend this tour.

Great, informative tour!
I was picked up at my hotel by my guide, Peggy, who is very friendly and extremely helpful. We toured the Yu Gardens, Old Shanghai where I did some shopping, and she gave me an architectural tour of the Bund. She grew up in Shanghai and knew so many great details about everything we toured. She also also went the extra mile and helped me get a power adapter for my US laptop. She ordered it and had it delivered to a hotel where we picked it up - an absolute lifesaver. It was a very informative tour and I highly recommend Peggy as a guide..

This 3-hour tour was the perfect way to explore Shanghai’s rich history. Yu Garden was beautiful and peaceful, and our guide shared great insights about its architecture and cultural significance.
The tea tasting was a real highlight – we sampled several traditional Chinese teas and learned about their origins and health benefits. The tea host was friendly and made the experience feel authentic.
Highly recommended if you want a short but meaningful cultural experience in Shanghai
