Entrance fees to the watertown is 100yuan/person.late evening from 1600 is 80yuan.After 9pm is free.
Note of advice is do not plan to go during the golden weeks holidays and school holidays.The massive crowd may rob you off the fun in this otherwise wonderful watertown.Best time to go in March to June Shanghai tours and September to November.
