点评:I should have listened to the warnings. I knew the reviews for the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel were bad, but I felt backed into a corner. Because of the May Day holidays (May 1st–5th), the East Nanjing Road metro station was closed. Since our hotel is right next to that station, we thought the tunnel would be a convenient way to cross the river. Big mistake.
The "VR Experience" Scam
Not only is the ride itself pathetic, but the staff at the ticket counter are actively dishonest. The ticket agent took advantage of the fact that I don’t speak the local language. I clearly wanted the standard 50 RMB one-way trip. Instead, she charged me 90 RMB for the "VR Experience" without my consent or even asking.
It is a total scam. The "VR" is incredibly tacky, outdated, and definitely not worth the extra 40 RMB. They are clearly trained to upsell tourists who look confused or are in a hurry due to the holiday crowds.
The "Show" is a Joke
As for the tunnel itself? It’s "trash" would be an understatement. It’s a 1990s fever dream of cheap flashing lights and plastic dolls that looks like it hasn’t been cleaned or updated in decades. It is embarrassing that this is a major attraction in a city as modern as Shanghai.
Final Verdict:
Is it fast? No
Is it scenic? No, it’s a psychedelic nightmare.
Is it worth it? Absolutely not.
Avoid this place at all costs. Take a ferry for 2 RMB or find a bus. Don't let the ticket office staff trick you into paying for their "VR" garbage. I’m writing this specifically so others don't get scammed like I did.
翻译:我真应该听取那些警告。我知道外滩观光隧道的评价很差,但我当时感觉走投无路了。由于五一假期(5月1日至5日),南京东路地铁站关闭。因为我们的酒店就在地铁站旁边,所以我们觉得隧道是过河的便捷方式。真是个大错特错。
“VR体验”骗局
不仅体验本身糟糕透顶,售票处的工作人员也极其不诚实。售票员利用我不会说当地语言这一点,明明我只想买50元人民币的单程票。结果,她未经我同意,甚至都没问我,就收了我90元人民币的“VR体验”费用。
这完全是个骗局。“VR”体验极其俗气、过时,绝对不值那额外的40元人民币。他们显然是受过专门训练的,专门向那些看起来不知所措或者因为假期人潮而匆忙的游客推销高价项目。
这场“表演”简直是个笑话
至于隧道本身?说它是“垃圾”都算是轻描淡写了。它就像是上世纪90年代的一场噩梦,充斥着廉价的闪光灯和塑料娃娃,看起来几十年都没人打扫或翻新过。在上海这样一座现代化城市里,这居然是个主要景点,真是令人尴尬。
最终结论:
速度快吗?不。
风景好吗?不,简直是一场迷幻噩梦。
值得吗?绝对不值得。
千万别去这个地方。花2元人民币坐渡轮或者找个公交车就行了。别让售票处的工作人员忽悠你花钱买他们所谓的“VR”垃圾。我写这篇文章就是为了避免其他人像我一样上当受骗。
