The Yu Gardens were great, better than I expected. However, there was no need to pre book and it was less than half price at the ticket office

Yu Garden

Luigi_S, Jun 2025
I recommend coming early in the morning. The place fills up fast and loses its magic with all those people. A must-visit in a stay in Shanghai.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Luigi_S, Thanks for the great tip! We truly appreciate you advising others to visit early to avoid the crowds -your insight will help many travelers experience the site at its most peaceful. So glad you found it a must-see during your Shanghai stay! If you have any other recommendations for making the most of the visit, we’d love to hear them. Hope your trip was filled with wonderful moments! Best regards.

No merece la pena

Jimmy_D, May 2025
Duplica o incluso triplica el precio de la actividad si la coges en taquilla. Es un parque pequeño y el precio no merece la pena si lo coges mediante esta plataforma. Mejor cogerlo allí mismo en taquilla. Además si vas entre semana no hay mucha gente y podrás comprar sin problema.

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Jimmy, Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our services. We’d like to clarify a few points for future visitors: Pre-booking tickets ensures guaranteed entry, especially during peak seasons when tickets often sell out onsite. We offers competitive pricing, and we strive to provide value through skip-the-line access and customer support. While smaller parks may have same-day availability on weekdays, pre-booking still saves time and avoids last-minute stress. We regret that your experience didn’t meet expectations this time, and we’d be happy to assist with any future bookings. Best regards,

Rilassante

Joli jardin à Shanghai

Emmanuelle_B, Jul 2024
Beaucoup de touristes locaux pendant les vacances scolaires. Cela gâche un peu la visite du jardin qui est cependant pas mal…

Consequently, it attracts a significant number of tourists during the summer vacation. We apologize for any inconvenience the crowds may have caused you and hope this did not unduly affect your travel experience. We hope you enjoyed your tour in Shanghai.
