This newly opened hotel in Shanghai is so cool!

🌟Shanghai Expo Tongsen Hotel Stepping into the Shanghai Expo Tongsen Hotel, I was immediately captivated by its exquisite and warm atmosphere. The lobby was stylishly decorated, with warm yellow lighting that seemed to drape a gentle cloak over my weary journey. Dragging my luggage, I jogged over, drenched in sweat, when the receptionist was incredibly welcoming. He quickly checked me in and handed me a glass of chilled lemonade; its sweet and sour coolness instantly dispelled the heat, making this hotel stay a fantastic start. 🛨️A delightful surprise in the room Entering the room was a pleasant surprise. The bed was neatly made, and the comforter was incredibly soft—lying down felt like sinking into a cloud. What surprised me most was a bouquet of fresh flowers on the bedside table, their delicate fragrance adding a touch of life to the room. The toiletries were all provided, and all from reputable brands, making them very convenient to use. I took a hot shower, changed into my pajamas, and sat on the sofa by the window. Looking out the large window, the night view was breathtaking; the twinkling lights seemed to be waving to me. At that moment, I felt all the hard work was worth it. 🍔Eating at the Hotel: Satisfying Your Taste Buds The hotel restaurant is also exceptional. The breakfast selection is incredibly diverse, including Chinese-style porridge, steamed buns, and pancakes, as well as Western-style bread, bacon, and fried eggs. Every morning I was overwhelmed by the choices, and in the end, I just tried a little of everything until I was completely stuffed. Lunch and dinner are also quite good. Once, I ordered black pepper beef tenderloin; the beef was tender and juicy, with a rich black pepper flavor, paired with refreshing vegetables—one bite and I was overwhelmed with happiness. If you're a foodie, you'll definitely find your favorite dishes at this hotel. 🚶‍♂️Exploring the Surroundings: A Pleasant Experience There are so many places to visit around here. The Expo Park is just a short walk away. One afternoon, I strolled there, walking along the riverbank. A gentle breeze caressed my face, and I could see the distant building outlines – it was incredibly pleasant. If you're looking for shopping, there are plenty of small shops nearby where you can find some interesting trinkets. There's also a hidden alleyway with several unique cafes. I wandered in, had a hand-drip coffee, and listened to the owner tell stories about coffee beans; the afternoon passed by leisurely. 📝Useful Tips Here are a few tips. The hotel's gym is quite well-equipped; a morning workout will give you a great start to the day. Also, the hotel's Wi-Fi is excellent, so you don't need to worry about internet connectivity and can enjoy watching shows or researching online. If you're traveling with children, the hotel offers childcare services, allowing parents to enjoy some quality time. In short, staying at the Shanghai Expo Tongsen Hotel truly felt like being at home – comfortable and warm. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Shanghai.

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
