The Shanghai Jiangong Jinjiang Hotel


I have been asked several times over the past few months what are hotels would look like. I did assure everyone that the hotels we use for China are NICE and of a higher standard than the hotels we typically use in Europe. Well, I just received information on our hotels yesterday, and I think you will be very pleased with our accommodations throughout the trip. For now I will just introduce you to the hotel that we will be staying in while in Shanghai- the Jian Gong Hotel. This hotel will put us right in the middle of the action of Shanghai, about 3 miles from the city center. The hotel is right at Hengshan Road Station on Line 1 of the Shanghai Metro Transport Network (you can see exactly where that is located by clicking here. Although we won't be spending too much time in the hotel because we will be busy out on the town, you'll be pleased to know that the hotel contains 3 restaurants, a health/fitness center, bowling, message, a beauty salon, a florist, foreign currency exchange, a gift shop (stay away from those, it's much more fun to haggle with street vendors), air conditioning, complementary bottled water (I know that was a concern of some), individual climate control, cable/satellite channels including HBO, CNN, BBC, and NHK, etc, etc. The even better news is that the hotels get even better in the next two cities, so stay tuned for updates next week. For now, you can check out the hotel's website by clicking here.
