Photo Session On The Famous Shanghai Skyline

Shiyu Fan is not only a talented photographer who takes us to beautiful spots with stunning views of Shanghai’s skyline, but also an outgoing, charming, and positive person\. She knows a great deal about Shanghai and is always happy to suggest alternative places to explore\. Today, following Shiyu’s recommendation, we enjoyed a lovely walk along the river near the 1000 Trees complex\. We highly recommend her\!

Had a lot of fun and the photos turned out great! Appreciate how casual it was and took multiple photos in different areas

Shiyu was amazing! She was so kind and took us around the bund while taking the best pics of us. I was honestly pleasantly surprised by how cool they turned out. She also spoke perfect English which was a bonus. Really happy with her services and will definitely recommend!

She was amazing! The locations were great and she did some great shots. Worth the money paid and will recommend her to anyone coming to Shanghai

She was extremely kind and helpful! She is a professional photographer who really knows her work, pays attention to every detail, and works very precisely. She also knows the photography locations extremely well and knows exactly where and how to get the best shots. Overall, I can highly recommend her to anyone!

Meeting Fan Ming was one of the highlights of my Shanghai visit. I booked his service for about one hour, mainly to explore the area and take some photos. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. He took me to some great spots around the Shanghai skyline in the evening and captured some amazing photos for me. The photos became some of my favorite memories from Shanghai. What I appreciated even more was his kindness beyond the paid service. Before and after our meeting, Fan was always willing to help me with online guidance and travel-related questions, and he helped me free of charge. As a first-time visitor to China, that kind of support was genuinely valuable. I also brought a few Bangladeshi coins as a small gift for him. He was so excited and happy to receive them, which made our meeting even more special. It felt less like meeting a tour guide and more like meeting a new friend. Fan is not only a great local guide and photographer, but also a genuinely kind and helpful person. If you are visiting Shanghai and want someone who can show you beautiful places, help you understand the city, and capture great memories along the way, I highly recommend Fan Ming. Thank you, Fan, for making my Shanghai experience even more memorable. Hope to meet you again someday! 🇨🇳🤝🇧🇩

Our experience in Shanghai with Fan was truly exceptional and one of the highlights of our trip to China. We travelled as a family — my husband Dario, our daughter Vittoria and I — and from the very beginning Fan impressed us with his professionalism, kindness and outstanding organizational skills. Everything was perfectly planned and coordinated, allowing us to see and experience so much of Shanghai while always feeling relaxed and well looked after. What made Fan particularly special, however, was his ability to go far beyond the usual tourist experience. He didn’t simply show us Shanghai’s famous landmarks; he helped us understand the city, its culture and the everyday life of the local people. Thanks to him, we discovered a more authentic side of Shanghai, experiencing its neighborhoods, traditions and daily life alongside its spectacular modern attractions. Fan has a wonderful ability to adapt the itinerary to his guests, understand their interests and make every moment meaningful. He was also fantastic with our daughter Vittoria, making the experience enjoyable for the whole family. By the end of our time together, Fan had genuinely made us fall in love with Shanghai. We arrived as visitors and left feeling that we had discovered something much deeper about the city and its people. We are extremely grateful to him for the memories he helped us create and would recommend Fan without hesitation to anyone visiting Shanghai. An outstanding guide, an excellent organizer and, above all, a wonderful person. Thank you, Fan, for making Shanghai so special for Dario, Vittoria and me! ❤️

My guide was so professional. Her English was amazing. All my pictures came out perfect. The quality is so great.

It was not only a photoshoot night with Shiyu! We ended up talking about lives and sharing travel experiences. She makes you feel comfortable infront of the camera and makes you feel that you are just traveling with your friends. More so, she helps me navigates the Apps that are foreign to me. Having a great photos are just a bonus because Shiyu already made our night wonderful. Ans Ops she gifted me a little souvenir from China, a very thoughtful lady! 💛

We had an absolutely brilliant evening with Shiyu! My brother and I travelled from Frankfurt, Germany, and booked this photography tour during our stay in Shanghai. It exceeded all our expectations. Our photographer was incredibly friendly, patient and professional. She knew all the best locations along the North Bund and gave excellent guidance with poses, lighting and camera angles, making us feel relaxed even though we’re not used to being photographed. The final photos turned out far better than we could have imagined. What made the experience even more special was that it didn’t feel like a standard photo shoot. We had great conversations, visited a shopping centre together for dinner, and spent the evening exploring the area. It genuinely felt like spending time with local friends while capturing unforgettable memories of Shanghai. If you’re looking for stunning photos of the Shanghai skyline and a fun, personal experience, we couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. Thank you for giving us memories that we’ll treasure for years to come!

Very easy to book and meet up. The guide was very flexible and she knew the best spots. Price was reasonable and the picture quality was excellent. 10/10 would recommend

I absolutely loved the photos! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also such a kind, friendly, and helpful person. She made the whole experience so enjoyable. I highly recommend her! 💖💖

We had an absolutely incredible experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to Shiyu. She was truly exceptional from beginning to end—professional, kind, patient, and always willing to go above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Honestly, our trip to Shanghai would not have been the same without her. She helped us so much with every detail, made everything effortless, and shared her knowledge and passion in a way that made every moment special. Thanks to her, we didn’t just visit Shanghai—we experienced it. She created memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and we can’t thank her enough for everything she did. If you’re considering this experience, we couldn’t recommend it more, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Shiyu. She is truly one of a kind and made this one of the highlights of our entire trip.

I had fun shooting with this young lady. She was so accommodating and helpful. Very talented and kind!

The photos came out nice! The photographer is very knowledgeable about the area and takes good photos.

My photographer, Shiyu, did a wonderful job showing us great photo spots, taking photos of us in front of the Bund, and helping us get photos at the Yu Garden. She put in extra effort to get the best photos of us, and we’re very much grateful for that👍

Excellent Night Photography, Highly recommended.The photographer knew exactly where to go and how to use the lighting to capture stunning night images. Exploring the famous spots after dark felt peaceful and exclusive, and the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended for anyone wanting unique and unforgettable night shots.

I had an absolutely amazing experience in Shanghai thanks to my photographer, who was not only talented behind the camera but also an excellent guide. From the very beginning, he made me feel comfortable and confident, capturing natural and stunning photos that I will treasure forever. Beyond photography, he shared fascinating stories and insights about the city, taking me to hidden spots I would have never found on my own. His local knowledge made the whole experience feel authentic and personal. He managed to balance professionalism with warmth—always patient, attentive, and creative in suggesting poses and backgrounds. This wasn’t just a photoshoot, it was a memorable journey through Shanghai with someone who truly loves the city and knows how to showcase both its beauty and yours. If you’re looking for someone who can deliver breathtaking photos and also act as a friendly, knowledgeable guide, I can’t recommend him enough.

Great tour service guide was very helpful and kind lovely photos were taken too and he helped me how to try hotpot in china 😹✌️ thankyou fan and shiyu💕👌

Wonderful experience, it was so nice!! He was always ready to become the session in a memorable experience…and he did it!! Totally recommended, always ready to help you in order to make your stay in Shanghai unforgettable. Don’t miss it, it would be a crime!!! 😂😂😂

We tried te shooting experience with Fan Ming. He did a great job with the photos and brought us to a less known area with an even better view of the skyscrapers. Moreover he took also some photos of just the scenary for us. Thanks to him we have some of the best photos of our vacation and some memories to keep with us forever!

We choose this option to visit the bund. Our tour guide Fan Ming was really incredible and as a native of Shanghai he could suggest us all the best places to takw some photos. Final result? Some of the best and most eyecatching photos we have had of ourselves

Fan was an excellent photographer, an amazing tour guide but more than anything an extra ordinarily helpful human being. I was lucky enough to connect to Fan prior to my short trip to Shanghai and the support he showed me and his promptness in answering all my questions set me up so well for the trip. Besides the night photo-session with Shanghai city skyline, I also toured two beautiful water-towns with Fan as the guide and he goes out of the way to make you feel comfortable throughout the experience besides clicking a ton of your pictures, all of them were really stunning. Fan is quite enthusiastic, street-smart, trustworthy, dedicated and humorous, genuinely cares for his guests and goes above & beyond to help them even outside the tour experience. Im genuinely grateful for the time I had in Shanghai and for Fan who made this possible for me.

I did a 1 day tour of Shanghai with Fan Ming and it was the best. Shanghai is so amazing. The photos are so cool and I enjoyed the tour of this beautiful city!

Amazing Fan! He took such great pictures and was so kind! 😊 He speaks English well, so even if you don't speak Chinese, it's no problem, and he has both an iPhone and a Huawei, so I was able to get good pictures👍 I'm Korean, so he told me about places related to Korean history, and he also told me about the guide's favorite photo zones, which was nice Usually, if you take pictures at night, you get a really high price for just 3 pictures, but he took them for free and recommended nearby tourist attractions🥹 He showed me examples of pictures of his friends and told me how to take pictures using the buildings around them. I definitely recommend it if you go to Shanghai!

Fan is a professional photographer! If you can take him on a trip, he takes great pictures. Fan is an extremely kind, funny and well-informed person. I can only recommend him!

Fan Ming is such a good and positive guy, a great photographer too, he know very good locations. photos look amazing! conversation with him was really interesting. he also gave some advice on travelling in China. really grateful to him 🤗

I may not have the words to fully describe how incredible this experience was. Not only did I walk away with amazing, professional photos, but I also learned a bit of history and found incredible support during my stay in China. Fan was simply wonderful from the very first minute. My level of gratitude and satisfaction is beyond words. Based on my experience, I can highly recommend taking this tour—not just for the photos, but also for the opportunity to connect with a local who genuinely becomes your friend and a guide during your stay. If you ask me what rating I’d give Fan, it would definitely be a 20/10.

We had a quick stop over in Shanghai and I had to find a tour to see the famous Skyline at night. I found this tour with Fan Ming and it was super! Fan Ming is not just a guide, he lives there and he knows where to go to avoid people cueing for pictures (it’s very important when you don’t have a lot of time). He will show you different points of view of the skyline with a nice and easy walk. I really recommend the experience with him and rest assured… even if you are not a photographer, Fan Ming will take some pictures for you to take home… don’t worry! P.s. he will get in touch with you asap to help you with info to reach the meeting point + more useful stuff (Maglev, metro, transports, stories of Buildings, etc). Very good tour and communication. 100% satisfied.

Fan was amazing. He took us to great spots to get great pictures to capture a very special trip for us. He was easy going, professional and patient. Highly recommended for capturing the city.

This is was best tour with Fan Ming. He take best pictures of me. Hi is very knowledge and professional. Dont hesitate for book this tour. I really liked walking and listen for important places in Shanghai and history of them. Shanghai is very modern and beautiful city but with knowledge of Ming was everything perfect. Thanks for good memorys from your city.

I usually don’t write reviews but I really wanted to do it for this amazing photographer and guide. As I am traveling alone I wanted to keep memories with the skyline and found the best guy for that. He knows the best spots of the city and can answer any questions you have. I highly recommend.

Really lovely experience, walked around and took photos. It felt more like meeting a friend than a tour tbh. Fan Ming is a legend in his own right.

I definitely reccomend Fan Ming . He was not just a perfect guide ( it felt more like a friend showing you his city) in Shanghai, he went above and beyond. He help me plan a birthday surprise for my husband, organize my days in Shanghai and even help me with some last minute shopping!!!! I definitely recommend him if anyone goes to Shanghai!

I loved the photographer, she was super professional, super attentive, patient, she made me feel super comfortable, made my experience better even traveling alone, at times it felt like we were friends traveling together! You can trust her work, it is perfect, I highly recommend it, very good, in addition to wonderful photos

I had an amazing experience with Shiyu, she took us to the best places to take photos. I was delighted with the sweetness and availability. We introduced the beautiful part and Shanghai. At the end From the photos presented us a delicious moodle restaurant. Everything perfect and the photos sensational.

I would have liked to give more stars but we are limited to 5.... This is the activity I recommend to any newcomer to Shanghai, nothing better to begin with!!! This city has no secrets for Fan. We had a great time and Fan is very good advice , which served me throughout my stay, felt like a local. And cherry on the cake, the photos are just awesome. Thanks again, Fan.

The tour was great, going through areas with views to the bund not so tourist, so without a lot of people and with a privileged view and could see that he had a lot of knowledge and liked Shanghai a lot. A very friendly person. The photos were very good

Fan is a great photographer. He showed me so many great places to take pictures. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed. I had a lot of fun with him. Definitive recommendation and deserved 5 stars.
