I was visiting Chenghuang Temple by myself and accidentally saw the sample photos of this studio. They are really beautiful. I was very attracted by them and went straight to this studio. I felt that the environment was good and the service was clean. As expected, the photographer and makeup artist here did not disappoint me. They made me look so beautiful in ancient costumes. I love their makeup techniques. They are very close to the skin and look very natural. The following are my own photos. I love them so much [yeah][yeah][yeah] My dears, if you like this treasured ancient costume photography studio, go for it~★

Reviews: Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD) Tea-making Experience (Intangible Cultural Heritage)
Guest User2025-08-07
The four of us joined this Song Dynasty tea whisking workshop and had such a special time together. The setting was peaceful, and the host shared fascinating stories about ancient Chinese tea culture. We each got to whisk our own tea and draw patterns on the foam — it was surprisingly calming and fun! We also received a small gift and took lots of beautiful photos. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Shanghai. Highly recommended for friends looking for a unique and meaningful experience!★

Reviews: Shanghai Huangpu River Tour
Guest User2025-08-16
A very worthwhile trip. The Crystal Cruise wasn't overcrowded, and there were plenty of photo spots on deck. The night view of Shanghai was truly captivating, and I took many beautiful photos. Perhaps due to the VIP room, the food was excellent. The hospitality was also quite satisfactory.★

Guest User2025-09-11
We joined the Baduanjin class as a group of friends and absolutely loved it! The movements were easy to follow, and we all felt relaxed and energized afterward. What really made it special was our instructor—super friendly and with excellent English, so everything was clear and engaging. They not only guided us through the practice but also shared the cultural background in a way that was easy to understand. Such a fun and unique experience to enjoy together while traveling in China!★

Reviews: Make Your Own Incense Beads Bracelet in Central Shanghai
Guest User2025-09-15
An unforgettable cultural gem! The incense bead bracelet workshop was so much more than just crafting jewelry—it felt like connecting with centuries of tradition. From choosing the natural incense materials to hand-rolling each bead, every step was calming, aromatic, and deeply meaningful. The instructor explained the cultural stories behind incense in such an engaging way, I felt transported into another world. Walking away with a bracelet I made myself, carrying both fragrance and memory, was the perfect souvenir. 🌸 A must-do in Shanghai if you’re looking for something authentic, beautiful, and truly unique!
