Huxinting Teahouse Tea Experience

Savor a tranquil tea service at Huxinting Teahouse as you pause between city sights and enjoy rare dual views of Yu Garden and Shanghai Center.

On your chosen day, visit Huxinting Teahouse within Yu Garden and sit down for tea service in the seating style and setting you selected.

Settle in for a sit-down tea service, spending your time at the teahouse table rather than walking a route or visiting several different venues.

Let your tea service become a pause in your Yu Garden visit as you sit, talk with your companions, and take in the traditional teahouse surroundings.

Choose between rooftop terrace tea with garden views, premium tea and snacks, or ground-floor teahouse seating with a pot of tea and light snacks.

Upgrade to a private balcony tea for two, with premium tea service, a reserved table on the balcony, and a short photo session to capture the moment.

What to expect

Huxinting Teahouse, Yu Garden Shanghai

This experience centers on Huxinting Teahouse, the iconic teahouse by Yu Garden Shanghai that sits beside the zigzag bridge and water. You choose how you would like to enjoy your time here, from a rooftop terrace ceremony to a ground-floor dine-in set or a private balcony tea for two.

Features

If you select the Rooftop Terrace Tea Ceremony with Garden Views and Snacks, you are seated in a rooftop terrace setting with garden views, where a tea service is provided using a premium tea selection, and snacks are included to accompany your drink.

Choosing the Ground-Floor Dine-In Tea Set with Light Snacks places you at ground-floor seating in the zigzag-bridge teahouse, with a pot of tea included, light snacks included, and a dedicated tea service so everything is brought to your table.

For the Private Balcony Tea for Two with Photography Session, a private table for two is reserved on the balcony, where a premium tea service and full tea service are provided, and a short professional balcony photo session is included to capture your time together.

Across all options, the inclusions are clearly defined in advance: tea service is always included, and depending on what you choose, you receive either a premium tea selection, a pot of tea, snacks, light snacks, a short professional balcony photo session, a rooftop terrace setting with garden views, ground-floor seating in the zigzag-bridge teahouse, or a private table for two reserved.
