Very poorly signposted so when we eventually found it we were tired and irritable. We were charged 65RMB each (about £6.50 ish) at the door by some dodgy fella, thankfully he was legit and ticket was valid. Some nice little shops with traditional suveneirs ..... Remember to barter, we knocked a quarter of the price off easily. The little space... More

Yes, it is cheesy and not cheap, but it was a super-fast way to get across the river. There are no bridges, just tunnels in this area of the Bund, and it is slo-o-w going in a taxi. Kids will love it!

It's a train in a tunnel and some lights. Ok, my son liked some parts of it but this is nothing more....

Anything along the Bund is fun. The tunnel was very pretty, worth your time

Yes, it's expensive but if you need to cross the Bund and can spare a few bucks, go through the tunnel. If you have low expectation and don't take it seriously, it's amusing. It's a cross between the Fremont Street Experience and the Universal Studios tour.

Don't go here - it is highly marketed but not worth it.

I visit the tunnel once and it was worth the trip BUT I wouldn't do it twice. It's okay but not fantastic. If you are short on time or have better things to do, skip this.

We have lived in Shanghai for 3 years and it is only necessary to do this once. Expensive and not sure what it was meant to be - lots of lights... Take a taxi or the ferry!

I feel its a waste of money. Couple minutes ride that has NO MEANING. Flashy lights like in cheap Disneyland. I suggest to take 2RMB air-conditioned Ferry to cross the river. For sure you will be more satisfied then a tunnel!

I was expecting more than a light show. Name was a bit misleading. Was thinking we would see some "sights" but we got a light show instead. Was charged 50RMB for a one way trip. Should have taken the 2RMB ferry instead. If you are prone to suffer from epilepsy brought on by flashing lights - this one is not... More
