How we checked it

Verified · 2026-09-22

Jiading district government publishing confirms the address, the 134 door number, phone booking on 69120286 and a master-led process of mixing, rolling, filling and pleating. The official Nanxiang Old Street ticket page lists the DIY session at 58 per person, while other reporting quotes 80-120 per head, so the range is carried. Opening hours conflict between 7:30-17:30 and 9:00-17:00 with Monday closure. No English instruction has been evidenced.
