Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Oriental Light

Stay at the Shanghai World Financial Center Hotel, located within China's tallest building, offering panoramic views of the Oriental Pearl Tower from floor 418. The hotel features a rooftop infinity pool and an observation lounge with 360-degree glass walls, perfect for capturing the skyline’s dynamic energy. Just a 5-minute walk from Line 2's Lujiazui Station, it’s ideally positioned between the Shanghai Tower and Jinmao Tower, placing you at the heart of the financial district. Guests can also access the skywalk on the 94th floor, providing sweeping vistas of the Huangpu River and the illuminated Oriental Pearl Tower at night—ideal for photography and unforgettable cityscapes.

The most convenient route is taking Line 2 or Line 14 subway from the Oriental Pearl Tower station to Lujiazui Station, a 5-minute walk from the Shanghai World Financial Center Hotel. Alternatively, a taxi ride takes about 10 minutes via the Yan'an East Elevated Road, offering scenic views of the modern skyline along the Huangpu River. Some hotels provide complimentary shuttle services from the tower’s designated pickup point—check in advance. For evening visits, take the subway to avoid traffic and enjoy the stunning nighttime light show illuminating the Lujiazui skyscrapers and the riverfront.

At night, the Oriental Pearl Tower transforms into a dazzling light sculpture, featuring a 360-degree rotating light show every evening at 8 PM, synchronized with music and color changes—ranked among the world’s most spectacular displays. View from the Oriental Pearl Square or aboard a Huangpu River cruise for immersive perspectives: the former offers close-up views, while the latter provides a dynamic vantage point across the Lujiazui skyline. Nearby attractions like the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium and Expo Park host special nighttime events such as interactive light installations and open-air concerts, ideal for couples and families seeking memorable evening adventures.

Mandarin Oriental Pudong Shanghai

Staying at Mandarin Oriental Pudong Shanghai was absolutely perfect — truly flawless! We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary, and the hotel surprised us with a delicious cake and a beautifully presented fruit platter. The attention to detail made the moment even more special. We booked the Riverview Executive Suite, and it lived up to every expectation — spacious, elegant, and offering breathtaking views of the Huangpu River, especially at night. Every staff member we met was incredibly attentive, polite, and genuinely warm, making us feel like VIP guests throughout our stay. From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless and thoughtful. We’ve already planned our next trip to Shanghai just to enjoy the autumn foliage — the ginkgo and red leaves are calling! If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Shanghai, this is the place to stay. I’ll definitely be back.

Hyatt On The Bund Shanghai

Staying at Hyatt On The Bund Shanghai during New Year's was an absolute highlight. Special thanks to Lorna from the guest relations team—amazingly patient and professional despite the massive crowds on such a busy holiday. She handled all my concerns with care and efficiency. The service quality is truly consistent with Hyatt’s world-class standards: warm, attentive, and thoughtful. Even with high demand at The Club Lounge, staff still offered gracious, low-bow service to members—such a nice touch. The welcome fruit and breakfast were both delicious and well-prepared. And the view? Absolutely breathtaking. The Bund skyline is stunning day or night—definitely worth every moment spent by the window. I’ve already taken countless photos and can’t wait to come back. This hotel delivers on all fronts—perfect for travelers seeking luxury, comfort, and unforgettable scenery.

Fairmont Peace Hotel on the Bund

Staying at the Fairmont Peace Hotel on the Bund was an unforgettable experience. Though it’s a historic property, the cleanliness and maintenance are impeccable—no musty odors or signs of aging anywhere, from the grand lobby to the room itself. The elegant old-world charm is perfectly preserved, creating a warm yet luxurious atmosphere. My room’s bathroom had clearly been recently renovated, featuring a smart toilet with bidet functions and a showerhead with strong water pressure—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The service exceeded expectations from the very beginning: as I arrived at Dianchi Road, a staff member was already waiting by the door. After confirming I was a guest, he immediately took my luggage and carried it inside, guiding me through check-in with a friendly smile. Despite arriving during peak check-in time around 3 PM, there was no chaos or long lines—everything was smooth and efficient. Even more impressive? My bags never touched my hands again—they were taken straight up in the elevator to my room. That’s what true luxury service looks like. Special shoutout to Guest Experience Manager Billy Liang, who went above and beyond when he learned about my parents’ anniversary visit. He personally delivered a birthday cake, arranged a reservation at the rooftop Longfeng Hall, and even made sure they enjoyed live classic jazz music at the hotel bar. He even snapped a sweet photo for them to cherish. My parents were truly touched and said it was one of the most memorable trips of their lives. This hotel isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a destination worth visiting for family gatherings, special occasions, or simply experiencing timeless elegance. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of heritage, comfort, and exceptional hospitality, this is it.

JOYA Hotel Shanghai Lujiazui

I chose Joya Hotel Shanghai Lujiazui for my New Year’s celebration this year, and it turned out to be a wonderful surprise—my first stay here, and I’m already planning to come back. Traveling with my 15-month-old baby, I was so impressed by how thoughtful the staff were: they set up the baby safety barrier in advance upon our request, and it was already in place when we arrived—truly appreciated. The island counter design is absolutely perfect for parents—it made feeding, preparing bottles, and cutting fruit so much easier. Plus, you can keep an eye on your little one while brushing your teeth or getting ready, which brings great peace of mind. The river view room was the highlight—overlooking the Huangpu River, my baby would sit by the window every morning sipping milk, mesmerized by the scenery. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, though the toilet seat is slightly higher than average—probably due to a heated cover installed later, but not a big issue. Staff were friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful. Breakfast was outstanding—huge variety, no repeats over three days! The beef noodle soup stood out: rich broth, tender meat, and generous portions—highly recommend. If you’re traveling with kids, this hotel delivers comfort, convenience, and quality. Definitely coming back for another family stay.

Homeinn Selected Hotel (Shanghai Train Station Zhongxing Road Subway Station)

Staying at this Homeinn Selected Hotel in Shanghai was an absolute delight—especially for the price. The room was spotless, clean, and well-maintained, with a comfortable bed and excellent hygiene standards. Location-wise, it’s just a short 5-minute walk from Zhongxing Road Metro Station, which is perfectly convenient. You can’t always expect every hotel to be right at the metro exit, and honestly, that’s not a dealbreaker. The area is vibrant, with plenty of local eateries, convenience stores, and easy access to major attractions. I was impressed by how well-connected everything was without needing multiple transfers. For the value you get—clean rooms, good location, and a peaceful stay—this place truly earns its 10/10 rating. I’d definitely book here again.

Plus, the hotel overlooks the Huangpu River, so the evening skyline views are simply breathtaking. Watching the city lights twinkle across the water was pure magic.
