🏰 Shanghai Disneyland – Just 8.6 km Away (Free Hotel Shuttle Available!)

Tip: Arrive early to beat the crowds and stay for the nighttime “Ignite the Dream” fireworks spectacular over the Enchanted Storybook Castle.

🌳 Century Park – Shanghai’s Green Oasis (10 km)

Craving a peaceful escape from the urban buzz? Century Park, one of the largest urban parks in China, is just a 15-minute drive from the hotel. Spanning over 140 hectares, this beautifully landscaped retreat features serene lakes, willow-lined pathways, cycling trails, and open lawns perfect for picnics or morning tai chi.

It’s an ideal spot for travelers seeking relaxation, light exercise, or family-friendly outdoor time—especially after a long flight or a busy business day. Visit in spring for cherry blossoms or in autumn for golden ginkgo trees that light up the landscape.

🌆 Oriental Pearl Tower & Shanghai Tower – Sky-High Views in Pudong (12–15 km)

No trip to Shanghai is complete without ascending its legendary skyline. Just 12–15 km from the hotel, the Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Tower dominate the Pudong horizon and offer unforgettable panoramic views.

  • Oriental Pearl Tower: With its distinctive spherical design, this 468-meter icon features multiple observation decks, a glass-floor skywalk, and even a revolving restaurant.
  • Shanghai Tower: At 632 meters, it’s the second-tallest building in the world and home to the world’s fastest elevators. The Shanghai Tower Observation Deck (Level 118) provides 360-degree views stretching across the Huangpu River to The Bund.

Both are located in the Lujiazui Financial District, easily reachable by taxi or Metro Line 2 (get off at Lujiazui Station). Consider visiting at sunset to witness the city transform from daylight brilliance to a sea of glittering lights.

🏛️ The Bund – Historic Elegance Across the River (18 km)

While located on the opposite side of the Huangpu River in Puxi, The Bund remains one of Shanghai’s most iconic destinations—and well worth the 25–30 minute journey from our hotel. This historic waterfront promenade showcases 52 colonial-era buildings from the 1920s–1940s, now housing luxury boutiques, fine-dining restaurants, and art galleries.

Stroll along the river at night for the most dramatic experience: the Pudong skyline—including the Shanghai Tower and Jin Mao Tower—lights up in a dazzling display of color and light, creating one of the world’s most photographed cityscapes.

Pro tip: Take a Huangpu River evening cruise (departing from near Chen Yi Square) for a unique perspective of both The Bund and Pudong’s modern marvels.
