Triangular roofs float on the lake surface, take the sinking elevator to "dive" to the lake bottom, koi swim outside the glass dome, Liangzhu black pottery and carbonized rice grains quietly displayed, VR projections show ancient pottery-making scenes, instantly traveling back 6,000 years 2. Jixianfang · Hui-Style Ink Painting Scroll: Hui-style white walls and black tiles built along the water, spring greenery reflects on the walls, autumn leaves cover the ground, standing by the ancient bridge to shoot reflections, you can’t tell if it’s Huizhou or Songjiang 3. Zhiye Zen Temple · Red Wall Zen Mood: Tang-style red walls with golden roofs make stunning photos! Buy a 10 RMB bag of fish food to feed the koi, the fish are unafraid and can be touched by hand, after walking around enjoy a 30 RMB bowl of elemental noodles, warming and calming 4. Heidukou · Sunset Golden Waves: Rush to the west stone bridge at 5 PM! The sunset dyes the lake orange, the underwater museum roof shimmers in the waves, live mode captures the beautiful transition of light from warm orange to soft pink ☕【Ancient and Modern Flavors on the Tongue】 • One Chi Garden: A 500-year-old ancient house turned café, the second-floor terrace offers amazing lake views, roasted chicken wings with heavy cheese pizza smell amazing! Highly recommended! Must try! Pork neck is the best!! • Prime Minister’s Mansion Yiyuan: Eat Jiangnan snacks under the apricot blossom trees, Biluochun tea with young duck and wild vegetable dumplings take you back a thousand years • Sijing Grandma’s Zongzi: 8 RMB each, salted egg yolk meat zongzi so fragrant you’ll stomp your feet, perfect for a satisfying snack after walking • For group dining, choose “Pulin by the Water,” 298 RMB for a four-person meal includes two black pepper butter crayfish, riverside private room with direct lake view 💡【Lazy Tips】 Must-visit with kids: “Mi Xiaolu’s Home,” feed water buffalo and watch chicks, super healing; artsy youth don’t miss Duoyun Academy, 32 RMB latte with unbeatable lake view, reading a book in a Ming Dynasty old house is so cozy. Look back at the lake before leaving, the roof silhouettes blend into dusk, now you understand why this is the “Root of Shanghai.” The gentle sediment of 6,000 years is worth returning to again and again 🌿 Bring your family to experience this millennium site together!

This trip to Shanghai mainly focused on activities in the city center, and wanted to stay more comfortable and convenient to popular attractions, finally chose the Shanghai Outer Bund Smart Choice Hotel. It is located at 388 Renmin Road, a few minutes walk to the Outer Banks, Yuyuan, Chenghuang Temple and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. The biggest selling point of the hotel is that it is new and smart: the rooms have voice systems and smart curtains, are reasonably designed, soundproofed, and stay very quiet and suitable for resting. The bathroom adopts dry and wet separation. In some room types, you can also watch the city night view while taking a bath, which is perfect for taking pictures! Families must try the parent-child room, which features a slide, tree house and ocean ball, the kids play until they don’t want to leave, and a dedicated butler will explain the facilities and teach you what’s nearby. When it comes to food, we can't help but praise the hotel's breakfast: Chinese and Western styles to choose from, taste good and full of ingredients, go downstairs to eat breakfast immediately set off for a day. The restaurant has a beautiful environment, the view outside the window is open, children's cutlery and special design are courteous enough. There are many choices of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, so you don't have to worry about running out of food in the middle of the night. The happiest thing about staying at this hotel is that the service is particularly personable. The front desk is professional and courteous, check-in and check-out are fast and easy, and take the initiative to share the surrounding check-in information with you; the parent-child room service has a dedicated butler to solve all the family travel worries. Great value for money, especially during tourist holidays, not afraid of attractions too many people can walk back and rest, worth getting. Transportation is even more convenient, there is already a subway station nearby, it is not difficult to get back to the airport or to Disney, it is easy to take a taxi or subway. Itinerary Tips: Most popular attractions in Shanghai can be reached by walking or short distance by subway. Booking tips: Holiday Inn Express in the Outer Banks is safest to book in advance during the peak season. There is a lot of demand for parent-child rooms, so it is recommended to book in advance; remember to check-in in advance when you encounter a travel festival. Shanghai is clean and modern, but sometimes you have to bring an umbrella in light rain; the city center is busy with traffic, so remember to allow more time. #ShanghaiHotelRecommendation #Outbank Stay #FamilyExperience #SmartHotelLife #Popular AttractionsOneMinto #
