Traveler Reviews
For us, there are plenty of polished photos online; the useful surprise was having time at Shanghai Traditional Ear Cleaning Wellness with English Guide without being moved along every five minutes.
Practically speaking, the route through Shanghai could be awkward to arrange independently. Having one person keep the timing straight made the whole thing calmer. For 2 hours and 20 minutes around Shanghai, the pace felt about right.
The pace suited us, but this is not a lazy half day. Leave some space before whatever you plan next. I would rather keep the pause at Shanghai Traditional Ear Cleaning Wellness with English Guide than add another stop.
Honestly, this wasn't a “see everything” tour, and that was a strength. The time around Shanghai felt specific to Shanghai, not interchangeable with another city. The time around Shanghai Traditional Ear Cleaning Wellness with English Guide was not the part I would cut.
Honestly, good pacing, clear pickup and enough time at Shanghai Traditional Ear Cleaning Wellness with English Guide. That is the whole review.
