Tickets and booking

Admission is a flat 5 yuan at the gate — the pack lists no concession, online, or combined rates. At that price, buying on arrival is the practical default; no advance-booking system, timed slots, or reservation requirement appears in the data. If confirmation matters to your plan, the listed phone number is 021-63203431. The pavilion opens every day of the year, 07:00-16:00, so there are no closure days to schedule around.

Entrance and routes

The entrance is on the first floor of the Fuyuan Commercial Building at 338 Fuyou Road, Huangpu District, within the City Temple of Shanghai — so navigate to the commercial building’s street address rather than expecting a standalone gate. The documented rail approach: Metro Line 10 to Yuyuan Station, from which the pavilion is within walking distance. For drivers, the pack documents one route, from the Hangzhou direction: Hukun Expressway, then the Humin Elevated Road, Inner Ring Elevated Road, Henan South Road and Wangyi Ma Road to the site, a drive of roughly 2 hours 40 minutes.

Photo spots

The pack catalogues no specific viewpoints, so treat this as a compact single-site visit rather than a photography circuit: the pavilion occupies the first floor of a commercial building at 338 Fuyou Road, and the 1-3 hour suggested duration leaves ample slack for pictures within that footprint. What the pack does fix is the setting — the site sits within the City Temple of Shanghai area, a walk from Yuyuan metro station — so any shots of the surrounding district happen on the leg between the station and Fuyou Road. Work backwards from the 16:00 closing time; after that the interior is closed.

Timing and crowds

Opening hours are 07:00-16:00, every day from 1 January to 31 December, with no seasonal variation listed. The suggested visit length is 1-3 hours, so the arithmetic is simple: arrive by early afternoon at the latest to use the full window, earlier if you want margin. The pack contains no crowd, queue, or busy-period data, so no claims about quiet times can be made — plan around the posted hours rather than predicted crowds, and use the phone line (021-63203431) if timing is critical to your day.

Walking and effort

None. This is an urban pavilion visit, not a hike: the documented approach is a Metro Line 10 ride to Yuyuan Station followed by a walk, and the site itself is a first-floor space inside a commercial building. The pack lists no trails, elevation, stairs, or route lengths, and the 1-3 hour suggested duration is generous for a single pavilion. Anyone who can walk from a metro station can manage this visit.

Getting there

Metro is the documented option: Line 10 to Yuyuan Station, then a walk to the pavilion at 338 Fuyou Road. The pack gives no bus routes, taxi fares, or walking times, so treat Line 10 as the reliable route and settle the last leg on the ground. For drivers, the only documented approach runs from the Hangzhou direction via the Hukun Expressway, Humin Elevated Road, Inner Ring Elevated Road, Henan South Road and Wangyi Ma Road — about 2 hours 40 minutes door to door. The listed phone number, 021-63203431, is the fallback for directions on the day.

Cost breakdown

The pack prices exactly one item: admission, at 5 yuan at the gate. Everything else on a visit is uncosted — the Metro Line 10 fare to Yuyuan Station, and for drivers from the Hangzhou direction the fuel and tolls on the roughly 2 hour 40 minute expressway run. So the firm budget line is the 5 yuan ticket; treat transport as an add-on to price locally. With no concession, combined, or online rates listed, 5 yuan is the working figure for entry.
