Tourist Reviews and Comments
Most visitors agree that Shanghai Film Park is not the ordinary and provides an immersive trip to old Shanghai of Republican times. Its faithfully replicated 1930s streetscapes, including a section depicting Nanjing Road and real examples of Shikumen housing, have been particularly well received for their realistic feel and photogenic appeal. There are many who will relish the delight of riding on various forms of vintage transport, whether it be trams or rickshaws and in this instance such endeavors add to the time travel feel.
However, a few visitors complain that the park is out of the way from downtown and is in disrepair at some places. The sight of film crews filming scenes, for movie-making here takes place with some frequency, is at once an exciting perspective (film production), and disruption to one's enjoyment. In general, at 4.3 (out of 5) based on more than 9,600 reviews, the park is worth a visit for fans of film history and old Shanghai nostalgia.
