First visit guide

A little preparation.
A slower afternoon.

Start with the ticket rules, then check the details of the specific branch you intend to visit.

Start with the time you have

A venue’s opening hours and your ticket’s permitted stay are separate. Check the entry window, the latest admission and whether the ticket runs for a set duration or ends at a fixed time. Our first version compares same-day adult visits; overnight rules need a separate check.

Look beyond the admission price

Check whether service charges, required clothing or other mandatory charges are already included. An incomplete list of fees is not a total. Meals, treatments and transport may be separate. The real collection keeps incomplete prices as references.

Check the branch’s entry rules

Confirm foreign-guest admission and which original documents the branch requires. An English website does not establish English-speaking reception. The same brand can have different rules at different branches.

Understand the spaces

Check the actual branch’s bathing, changing and shared-lounge arrangements. A shared relaxation area does not mean a shared bathing area or a private room. Follow the venue’s instructions when you arrive.

Keep the Chinese name and address

A public visit card brings the branch name, address and entrance notes together. It is not a ticket or reservation. Check that your external booking, if you make one, is for the same branch and package.

This guide contains real Shanghai branch profiles from public sources. Current ticket prices, foreign-passport admission and complete required charges still need confirmation.
