The only hotel in Shanghai that has let me stay three times on business trips!

Shanghai Expo Riverside Hidden Gem Hotel! Both soundproofing and cleanliness are top-notch, staying here instantly makes it legendary✨ For those coming to Shanghai to see the Expo or stroll along the riverside, listen to me! Choosing the right hotel can really double your travel happiness 🥰 This time I blindly booked the Shanghai Expo Tongsen Hotel, didn’t have high expectations at first, but from stepping into the lobby to checking out, I was surrounded by surprises, completely exceeding expectations~ Whether for business or vacation, it’s definitely worth booking without hesitation! The room’s soundproofing and cleanliness really hit the spot 💯 As a light sleeper, I was worried the hotel near the attraction would be noisy, but once the door closed, it instantly became a quiet world. The noise outside was completely blocked, and at night I couldn’t even hear the next room’s door opening and closing—deep sleep lovers rejoice 😴 The cleanliness was impeccable, with white, soft bedding without any odor, lying on it felt like sinking into clouds. The bathroom was spotless with no water stains, even the often overlooked gaps on the desk and corners were dust-free, walking barefoot felt super safe 👣 The room layout was very reasonable, with plenty of space to open a suitcase without taking up floor space, and the charging ports by the bedside were super thoughtful—detail lovers will adore it! The dining experience at the hotel fully satisfied me 🍳 Breakfast was a buffet combining Chinese and Western styles, with a wide variety. The freshly made Shanghai wontons had thin skins and full fillings, paired with a delicious broth that warmed my stomach with every bite 🌞 There were also exquisite desserts, fresh fruit, and freshly brewed coffee, with quality rivaling popular restaurants outside~ For dinner, I tried the hotel’s signature local dishes: the braised pork was fatty but not greasy, melting in the mouth; the steamed fish was incredibly fresh; even the vegetables were crisp and tasty. The freshness of the ingredients was visible to the eye. After eating my fill, I was bursting with happiness and no longer had to worry about finding a restaurant outside 🥢 Here are some practical tips from my experience 💡 The hotel’s location is excellent, just a 10-minute walk to the Expo Park, and it’s convenient to take the subway to the Bund and Yuyuan Garden. Before heading out, you can ask the front desk to help plan your route—the staff are super patient~ When checking in, remember to request a high floor for a wider view; some rooms even have river views 🌉 The hotel lobby offers free luggage storage, so you don’t have to worry if you arrive early or check out late. There’s also free bottled water and tea bags available anytime you’re thirsty, full of thoughtful details that warm the heart ❤️ This stay at Shanghai Expo Tongsen Hotel was really worth it. Soundproofing, cleanliness, dining all on point, and the service was gentle and attentive, with great value for money 🌟 The address is No. 21 Lane, Pusan Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai. Whether you’re here for sightseeing or business, it offers a comfortable and reassuring stay experience~ It’s already on my list for revisiting Shanghai, and I’ll definitely stay here again next time. Friends, just book it with confidence!

Exploring Beijing and Shanghai? This trip gave major city vibes — think riverside strolls, cutting-edge buildings, and chill coffee breaks ☀️🏙️ Here’s my guide to the best spots I found in Shanghai! Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai: 1. The Bund (Zhongshan East Road, Huangpu District) Must-visit for sunset or night views! Stroll along the Huangpu River and catch epic skyline shots (totally Instagrammable). It’s open all day, so no rush — just go when the light is right. Tip: Visit during weekdays in the late afternoon to avoid crowds! 2. 1000 Trees This modern architectural wonder is where art and nature fuse — the building’s exterior is literally bursting with greenery. Bring a camera, especially on sunny days (makes those Nature-Vision/Architecture-Vision shots pop!). There are rivers and outdoor art installations nearby for chilling out or people-watching. Quick Tips from My Experience: If you’re craving a break, find a cool indoor coffee shop — there are plenty near The Bund with authentic Chinese wall décor. A perfect spot for some chill time or to edit travel snaps! Getting Around: Metro is fast, reliable, and cheap! Get a Shanghai metro card at any station. The Bund and 1000 Trees are accessible via public transit — just plug the locations into your maps app for the nearest stop. Food: Hit local coffee shops for a uniquely Shanghai vibe (some serve stellar matcha lattes). For dinner, check out riverside spots along The Bund for a view with your meal. Travel Essentials: No visa needed for short stops if you’re eligible for the 144-hour transit policy, but double-check before you go. Always carry some cash and a translation app — it makes everything smoother! #ShanghaiVibes #ModernChina #TravelTips #CityBreak #tripdotcom#china_diaries #chinatrip
