What travelers are saying
- Daniel LApex, NC791 contributionsAfter a ton of the tourist shops have closed and the lights have all dimmed, it is a nice experience to just kind of walk around the water town. It is very peaceful and picturesque.
When everything is operating as normal, it's okay but not super special - still worth a visit.Written August 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - MuzzamuzzamuzzaWellington, New Zealand139 contributionsBuddhist temples in China are like cathedrals in Europe - the first one is exciting, the second one is interesting, and after that they all look the same. Jing'an is definitely worth a visit if you have not been to many temples. The architecture is beautiful, it is an active temple, and the location is very convenient being directly above a metro station named after it.Written January 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Was just outside the tea house admiring its menu and was really walking through while enjoying the lanterns. Not really interested in expensive tea at that time!!! However, this tea house looks really charming and its entrance is quite welcoming with an array of tea cups and tea sets to be admired and purchased.Written February 9, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karen CLondon, UK44 contributionsNow a boutique hotel but very welcoming when we popped in to look at the architecture. We sat in the conservatory and enjoyed a cold drink and plate of fruit before walking around the garden. A vista of another era.Written September 9, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Brad RSuva, Fiji133 contributionsMy wife is Korean and I speak Korean and I have a degree in North Korean studies. The impact and importance of China in modern Korean is undeniable. All the other people walking up to the entry were disappointed to see that it was closed for a long lunch. really long. considering the minimal energy expended by the staff and their big numbers this could have been staggered but long all go together lunches seems to be the norm in any govt related activity in China and the DPRK. We went somewhere to enjoy AC and then got tickets. 20RMB each We had to wear shoe covers, and photos were not allowed. There are signs that say so in Korean and Chinese. Every Korean person with us was taking pictures, tho. The freshly nourished staff would shout the only sentence they know in Korean-- do not take pictures- and the photographers would kind of stop, for a few minutes. Interestingly, a person who spoke Korean and Chinese asked "why not take pictures?" the staff guy says "it's the rules". "Who's rules?" then "You be careful!" OK-- I think the governmnet of China runs this place to make money and draw Korean visitors, they make it look vaguely like a Korean run thing, so they solicit donations. Where does it all go?Written July 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jo-AnnKuala Lumpur, Malaysia17,192 contributionsA great lady to learn about. Her life. Her political career. Her achievements. Her writings. This residence memorial has been done up really nicely with descriptions in Chinese and English. Main house was lovely as well but quite difficult to look around if the crowd is too big. Garden was lovely.Written May 11, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jo-AnnKuala Lumpur, Malaysia17,192 contributionsA THREE hours ride for us from Pudong. Almost 2 hours on metro. Line 1 to Jinjang Park Station. One hour busride on the Feng Mei line straight to Fengjing. Town is serene and beautiful. As the Zongzi Festival (rice dumplings) is just next week, the whole town was at work. Fun to watch. Get to try varieties of freshly made rice dumplings. They can vacuum pack the dumplings for you if like for takeaway. Lovely experience exploring the town and then... the long ride home!Written June 6, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jo-AnnKuala Lumpur, Malaysia17,192 contributionsA lovely old town, really! The part where there are rows of shops selling clothes and pajamas and shoes is the noisy part; it was like they were competiting among each other with their loud speakers!!! Lotsssss of shops there. The old town is lovely. Crowded. Lots to see and eat. Twin pagodas were under construction when we were there. Do try their Xiao Long Bau as Nanxiang is the birthplace for these soup dumplings. Line 11 to Nanxiang station will take you there. Walk along Zhongjia Road from metro alllll the way (about 2 blocks) until you see Guyiyuan Road. Turn right and immediately turn left into Heping Street. There’s a canal by Heping Street. Walk through Heping Street, right to the end and cross the road into Nanxiang Old Street. An interesting walk indeed.Written March 17, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- J TeoKuala Lumpur, Malaysia2,446 contributionsBeing a trading port means that there was a need to have a customs checkpoint and it was built right on the Bund. Today, it remains a Custom House as Shanghai new in strides as a premier port in the world. One of the iconic feature of the Customs House is the clock tower that holds the brother of London’s Big Ben. Known as Big Ching, it is modelled after the bell on Westminster. In fact, the bells even play the traditional tune of Westminster Quarters but since has been stopped.Written January 1, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew M7,589 contributionsMy son and I tried to visit this site from Baoyang Subway Station. I am sure that we found the correct park, but nobody seemed to understand what we were looking for. There were many sections of the park under repair, and high zinc fences obscured our view. I hope that someone can tell us where we went wrong, or if the fort is undergoing repairs. The name of the park was "civilised park".Written July 28, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
