Beautiful gardens, excellent guide. We could not have enjoyed the gardens with out her assistance and expertise
Tea tasting in Shanghai
2025-01-01
I requested a Tea Ceremony and Sunny took me to old town, around Yu Garden, on the holiday of Jan 1st. Shanghai was very crowded and Sunny expertly navigated us through, to have our appointment with a great Tea Specialist, who explained, taught about and prepared different teas, their use and history. Enlightening experience
