After going here, I couldn't help but remember the classic Simpsons episode, where Mr. Burns organizes a company softball team filled with All-Star baseball players, until all of them fall into some kind of predicament. Ozzie Smith of all people decides to fall for Springfield's classic tourist trap, the "Springfield Mystery Spot." He winds up being trapped in there literally,... more

The New York Times recommended this. We paid the steep 90 yuan price for a ticket and got into a little glass train car. The car went through a tunnel slowly with some flashing lights, very unimpressive flashing lights. This was pretty much a total waste. more

This futuristic link under Shanghai's major river is a bit of a tourist trap. Sure there is a dazzling lights display as one travels in the guided driverless cars (a ferris wheel on the ground setup) but I was underwhelmed. Expensive: the metro is a fraction of the price. more

Overpriced ride across the river. No other way to describe it. You are charge 50Y for a round trip. No that much, but way overpriced comparted to other transportation. You descend two levels and you board a single car train. It has large windows all around. You get the impression this might be a fun ride. It isn't. Watching the... more

It was getting late, my feet were killing me, and I had to get back to Pudong. The light show I saw beneath the river was pretty a goofy, lazy effort by the tunnel designers. But it was cheap, pretty quick, and a smidgeon more diverting than a taxi or the subway. If you're not already crossing the river for... more

Why is this tunnel mentioned in every touristbook and map I do not understand. It is all over in 2 minutes and one just feel ripped off by the price and what you get for it. We paid also for a visit to the aquarium but as many others and zoos, the places for the animales are too small and... more

We jerked along the tunnel with cheap disco lights whizzing around our heads, cameras poised and ready for action....then we emerged out the other side, completely dumbfounded! Disney it certainly is not! About as much fun as the Underground in rush hour. We were relieved to have only bought a one-way ticket, even the taxi ride back to the hotel... more

Right in front of the Oriental Riverside hotel is the eastern entrance to the Bund tunnel. So we wondered off down the steps and arrived at a hall with various craftsman advertising their wares. The ticket booth advertises 3 experiences: - sea life $30 - sights and sounds $30 - sex (I suspect promoting contraception) $20 What I didn't get... more

Fun. Inexpensive. Great way to get across the river from the Podung side to the Bund. Capitalism and Disney combined in China, no less! more
