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.

MaxX By Steigenberger on the Bund Shanghai

Staying in this historic building is such a unique experience—there’s something special about the charm of old architecture. The 1st floor room, especially, felt spacious and elegant, with a nice touch of character that made it stand out. I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to Shanghai. The view from the 20th floor is absolutely breathtaking—especially at night. Sitting by the window with a drink in hand, watching the lights of the Bund sparkle across the river, it felt like pure relaxation. The service was exceptional too—ice cubes and towels arrived within minutes, and staff even helped carry luggage. Fast, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive. For me, great hotel service makes all the difference, and this place nails it. A fantastic stay with incredible value, highly recommended!

Blossom House Shanghai On The Bund

Honestly, this trip to Shanghai was unforgettable — not because of the sights, but because of where we stayed. Blossom House Shanghai On The Bund left me speechless from check-in to check-out. As soon as we arrived, a staff member kindly took our luggage and greeted us with a warm smile. We were pleasantly surprised when our room was upgraded during check-in — instant points for hospitality. The room itself? Absolutely stunning. From the copper-toned floral door to the blooming elevator doors, every detail feels like art. The space is bright, spacious, and filled with subtle yet elegant floral touches — it truly feels like staying in a living garden party. Fresh fruit delivered daily, excellent hot water for showers, and a cozy, relaxing vibe made every evening feel like a reset. Breakfast was a highlight — a perfect mix of local and international flavors. Crispy scallion oil noodles with braised pork, authentic Shanghai xiaolongbao, plus fresh salads, desserts, and coffee that kept flowing. Eating while watching the Bund skyline and Oriental Pearl Tower from the dining area? Pure bliss. Even better: the evening experiences. I joined the Yu Garden night tour, and the guide shared fascinating stories about history and culture — way more engaging than wandering around alone. And location-wise? Perfect. Everything — Bund, Yu Garden, City God Temple — is just a 10-minute walk away. No rush, no stress, just effortless exploring. Small touches matter too: crystal-clear toiletry cups, free minibar drinks, juicy fruits, and spotless rooms. This place isn’t just a hotel — it’s an experience. If you’re visiting Shanghai, don’t miss it.

JinLing Purple Mountain Hotel Shanghai

I’m a big fan of classic five-star hotels and government guesthouses—mainly because of the great service, excellent location, and peace of mind when it comes to privacy (no need to worry about hidden cameras in the room!). Plus, they often offer better value than luxury chains. This stay at JinLing Purple Mountain Hotel Shanghai was no exception. Located just steps from Lujiazui, my room on the 41st floor offered stunning high-floor views. While not quite a skyline-level perspective, the cityscape below is still impressive, especially at night. The nearest subway line 2 is a 7–8 minute walk away—super convenient since this line connects both Pudong and Hongqiao airports. You can also easily reach major attractions like Jing’an Temple, Zhongshan Park, Nanjing West Road, and People’s Square. Getting to the Shanghai Museum East Wing is a breeze too—just a 3-minute walk to the bus stop, and you’re there in two or three stops. Much faster than transferring via metro. Cleanliness was top-notch. The entire room had carpeting but no unpleasant odors, and everything looked spotless with zero stains. One thing I appreciate in older five-stars is that they’ve upgraded bathrooms properly—this one features a separate shower area, not just a bathtub you have to stand in. There’s even a curtain for privacy on the outer side of the bathroom, which makes sharing the space much more comfortable for multiple guests. The hairdryer may not be branded, but it works surprisingly well—strong yet gentle airflow. I tested it by washing my hair, and it dried quickly without being harsh. The amenities are thoughtfully placed. The brand is Baizhaoji, which has decent scent and texture, though not exceptional. If you’re not satisfied, staff will gladly swap it out for a travel-sized alternative. And yes—the little horse plush toy in the room is actually yours to take home! Adorable. Staff were attentive and proactive. Housekeeping ladies greeted me warmly and offered help carrying luggage straight to the elevator—no need to carry anything heavy around. They even left a boxed carton of Mengniu milk at bedtime. Not fancy, but thoughtful. The late-night porridge service ends at 11 PM—I came back later and missed it, so I’ll definitely try it next time. Breakfast is served until 10 AM (until 10:30 on weekends), and staff remind you before closing. Don’t linger past the cutoff! The spread includes many local favorites: fresh steamed buns, handmade yangchun noodles, small wontons, salty tofu pudding, soy milk, and various pastries. But here’s the issue—there’s way too much carbs (buns, breads, noodles) and very little protein. Cold cuts include only fish—no beef, no chicken. The Western pastry section feels underwhelming: limited variety, and most puff pastries are soggy instead of crisp. I saw a few foreign guests eating only Western options—wonder if they found it satisfying. The homemade yogurt is excellent—plain version is rich and creamy; strawberry flavor leans heavily on artificial sweetness. The tea eggs lack depth in taste. However, the yangchun noodles and tofu pudding? Absolutely delicious. Overall, this hotel delivers strong value for money, great comfort, and genuine hospitality. With a few tweaks—especially adding more protein-rich breakfast items—it could be perfect. Would definitely stay again.

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.

Jinjiang Metropolo Shanghai Xintiandi Hotel

Staying at Jinjiang Metropolo Shanghai Xintiandi Hotel was a delightful experience from start to finish. The front desk staff were incredibly efficient and welcoming—special shoutout to Zhao Hai’e (if that’s the correct name), whose sweet voice and thoughtful service made a real impression. The hotel blends modern Chinese aesthetics beautifully with clean, minimalist design. I particularly appreciated the strong water pressure in the showerhead—perfect for a refreshing morning rinse. Cleanliness was top-notch; even noticed I used paper cups, and the next day they kindly left a few extra coffee cups on the table—such a small but thoughtful touch. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: steps away from Xintiandi and Taizi Fang, with plenty of great dining options around. Both Line 9 and Line 13 are just minutes away, making travel to Hongqiao Airport quick and easy. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel offers excellent value, convenience, and genuine hospitality. Definitely planning to return.

Metropolo Xin Cheng Hotel, The Bund Shanghai

I stayed in room 905, and it matched the hotel’s photos exactly—what a pleasant surprise! The room was spacious, bright, and incredibly comfortable. With plenty of windows, natural light poured in, and since there were no neighboring rooms on either side, it was wonderfully quiet—perfect for a good night’s sleep. The elevator access requires a key card, which adds a nice layer of security and peace of mind. The front desk staff were friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to meet guest needs—especially sweet during holidays when they even handed out apples as a little treat. The doorman was equally impressive: courteous, helpful with luggage, always ready to answer questions, and even offered an umbrella during the rain. On the third floor near the elevator, there’s a free water station where you can refill bottles anytime—very convenient. The lobby also offers complimentary tea, and the basement has self-service laundry machines (15 RMB each for wash and dry), which is a huge plus for travelers who don’t want to pack too many clothes. I personally preferred using the paid machines—they’re clean, rarely crowded, and efficient. Breakfast was outstanding: abundant, well-prepared, and served by warm, welcoming staff. I especially loved the fresh salad, congee, wontons, and noodles—all delicious. Free takeout coffee was available too, a nice touch. The hotel is just a short 8-minute walk from Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street station on Line 2, and only about 5 minutes to The Bund—ideal for sightseeing. So far, every aspect of my stay has been flawless. This isn’t just a 10/10—it deserves a full 100/100. Huge thanks to everyone on staff for their dedication and kindness.
