[2025 Shanghai Stay] Travel Guide for JI Hotel (Shanghai The Bund Jiujiang Road) (Updated Apr)

When I first came to Shanghai, I chose Nanjing East Road for accommodation. There are 3 all-season hotels here, but this one on Jiujiang Road is the most praised. Night came and the front desk gave us a room on the 5th floor with space permitting. The facilities in the room have a renovated feel. The toilet light is on together with the wash basin overhead light, if it can be separated light switches better. This building is also one of the historic buildings. It is the Dasheng Company Building completed in 1920. The buildings are of the same design as those around the Outer Banks. There is only one lift in the hotel. I do my laundry from the 5th floor to the 2nd floor by walking up the stairs. There is also a restaurant on the 2nd floor where breakfast is mainly noodles, with wontons/bibimbap/soup noodles.

We recommend this hotel ~ JI HOTEL ✨Hotel Highlights: The location of the hotel is very, very good. Just a short walk to the tourist area. Just a short walk to the Metro.

全季酒店(上海外滩九江路店) Great value for money hotel for adult travellers. Not recommended for family with kids that need to use strollers as the pavement in front of the hotel are obstructed with bike sharing bikes and most of the time we have to walk on the road to get to the hotel or to the metro station. Location is good, as it is just beside the main walking street of Nanjing East Road. When you step out of the hotel door, look left and you can see the Pearl Tower. The metro station is just around the corner with 5mins walk. Taking taxi is a challenge at the hotel, it’s recommended to cross to other side to get in and out of the taxi, as the road at the hotel entrance is painted solid yellow while the opposite side is broken yellow. (Solid yellow line cannot stop for pick up and drop off) There are some small eateries just beside the hotel. Or you can choose to order take out and get the front desk to use the robot to send to your room. Skip the hotel breakfast, they will try to sell you during check in, but really just very local breakfast like plain porridge, noodles, and preserves veg and salted eggs. Their international selection are some bread, pastry, sausages and hard boiled egg. Coffee is diluted and all we had there was milk for my daughter breakfast cereal we bought from the supermarket. And by the time we came down around 830am, most of the food had been finished. Many shopping malls along nanjing east road has food hall in the building. There is also supermarket at the Diamaru mall which also feature the curve escalator. There is a small laundry room at level 6 which you need to get another access card from front desk to go up. There is only 1 washer and 1 dryer. Need to queue and take turn to use with the other guest. Detergent were provided. Overall if you are willing to pay a bit more, there are other international hotels along Nanjing East Road walking street. I will not recommend to my friends nor book this place again myself.

Shanghai is both historic and futuristic, fashion- and food-forward, and full of cultural sights to explore. The food scene (of local, regional, and international variety) is strong, and some of Asia’s (and the world’s) top ranked bars and restaurants can be found here. The city’s wealth of museums and exhibition halls chronicle the country’s history and house its art. The skyscrapers of Pudong district vie for world records of height and luxury, and the Shanghai Fashion Weeks are two of the most important events of the year for the fashion industry. Plan some of your days here, but allow yourself time to wander and discover its diverse neighborhoods. You might find yourself at a jazz show, discover an amazing xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) restaurant, or even stumble into a 400-year-old garden. Make a few plans, but also keep your schedule somewhat open to let Shanghai surprise and delight you.Shanghai is famous for its regional cuisine, which capitalizes on its proximity to the coast. Dishes are known to be sweeter and oilier than other regions in China. Their most famous culinary claims to fame are xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), which were invented in a village just north of the city. Other Shanghai specialties include si da jin gang (the four warriors of breakfast), yellow croaker noodles, and hairy crab. A large number of highly skilled chefs and restaurateurs have also shaped the culinary scene and made the Bund area the epicenter of creative and fine dining in Shanghai. However, for street food, head to Fangbang Xi Lu by Yuyuan Garden.Microbreweries, wine bars, speakeasies, and rooftop bars can all be found in Shanghai. For a drink with a view, head to the Bund. For hip haunts, head to the Former French Concession. Baijiu is the national cheap spirit, but in recent years, it has received a makeover by being used as a base in cocktail bars, featuring higher-end varieties from different regions. Healer in the FFC is particularly known for their baijiu creations. Tea culture is pervasive throughout China, and Shanghai is no exception. Go to a teahouse to experience a traditional Chinese tea ceremony in which you can see the tea prepared in front of you by a tea master. A tea ceremony will have several varieties of tea for you to taste and the tea master will explain not only about the properties and qualities of tea you are sampling but also how they are important to Chinese culture as well.Tipping is not a typical practice in Shanghai. In the fancier hotels and high-end restaurants, a tip might be included (10 to 15 percent), but most restaurants, taxis, and other services will not include or expect a tip. If you try to tip people at a local restaurant, they might actually be offended, as it could be seen as a loss of face (embarrassment, but the concept of “face” goes deeper than that). #trip#上海旅行
