The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

Located in Shanghai's central Xu Hui district. Wan Ling Tea House is conveniently accessible from central sites and metro lines 1, 9 and 11 at Xu Jia Hui station (exits 13 or 15) or lines 10 and 11 at Jiao Tong University (exit 1). Offering a wide selection of Chinese tea wares and Chinese teas, including organic tea. Wan Ling carefully selects all our teas personally on her regular sourcing trips around China. Our Yuqing road tea house is a great place to relax. We have a public tea room and also a private tea space which is available to hire and is ideal for groups of 2-16. We run a series of customised experiences including tea tastings and tea art demonstrations. Whether you are just visiting for a short trip and would like a 1-2 hour tea tasting or tea ceremony demonstration, or would like to enrol on a longer tea education programme Wan Ling Tea House is a great choice. Friendly English language service.
Wanling's Teahouse is a hidden gem, tucked away in the leafy Xuhui district of Shanghai (very close to the beautiful French Concession area too) and yet only a short walk from metro stations on either line 1 or 9. Wan Ling will treat you to an authentic gongfu tea ceremony and you will taste some Chinese teas you have never heard of. Her stories of where and how they are produced are fascinating, and it is worth taking a notebook! Wan Ling's subtle and intuitive approach leaves you feeling informed without being pressured, and her spoken English is fluent. I fully recommend a visit.

What a pleasant find in Shanghai for quality tea with thousands of years of history. I've read many reviews before I came here, nice tea smell once stepped in the tea town, walked around happy no crowded tourists like Shanghai other sites :):), some shops sellers are very passionate to invite you try different teas, take your time and no pressure haha. We finally went in Jane’s shop (first floor Room1068) in the center with an old Shanghai bicycle outside, turned to be a really smart choice, it’s a tea shop not specially for tourist. Jane runs family business, she is 50th generation, and their family have more than 1400 yrs history for planting tea, they have a tea farm and even their own tea museum in yellow mountain---the most beautiful mountain in China. We are planning to go there next spring. Moreover here all products price are transparent, no worry pay more might get low quality thou. it’s a China top brand tea, have online like Taobao shops and many offline shops, all prices are the same in whole China, of course offline is better for us because we can taste, haha choose the proper ones...love their green tea, black tea and jasmine tea!
