Mooiste wijken in Shanghai om te bezoeken

Of je nu zin hebt om te ontspannen of de bruisende energie van de stad wilt ervaren, je zult ontdekken dat de diverse wijken van Shanghai voor ieder wat wils hebben. Van koloniale boulevards aan het water tot luxe winkelcentra: de verschillende stadsdelen hebben elk hun eigen unieke sfeer, must-see bezienswaardigheden en een heerlijke interpretatie van de lokale keuken.

De Bund: de historische promenade van Shanghai

De Bund

Gelegen aan de westoever van de Huangpu-rivier biedt de Bund een unieke mix van oud en nieuw. Je ontdekt er gebouwen uit het koloniale tijdperk die uitkijken op de spectaculaire skyline van het nabijgelegen Pudong, wat het de ideale plek maakt voor een heerlijke wandeling langs de rivier. Je kunt zelfs een rondvaart maken over de rivier. Langs de promenade vind je talloze cafés aan het water waar je kunt ontspannen met een kopje koffie, evenals hippe rooftopbars voor wanneer de lichtjes van de stad aangaan.

Franse Concessie: historische wijk met lommerrijke lanen

Franse Concessie

De voormalige Franse Concessie dateert uit de 19e eeuw en staat tegenwoordig vooral bekend om haar hippe cafés, elegante boetieks en een heerlijk ontspannen, creatieve sfeer. Je ontdekt hier prachtige koloniale architectuur uit de tijd dat dit gebied nog onder Frans bestuur stond. Denk aan art-deco-invloeden en schilderachtige straatjes vol met bomen. Het is de perfecte plek om een middagje heerlijk rond te dwalen, met parken om te ontdekken en gezellige lokale restaurantjes voor een welverdiende pauze.

Lujiazui: de ultramoderne architectuur van Shanghai

Lujiazui

Het financiële en commerciële hart van de stad, Lujiazui in Pudong, is het eerste wat in je opkomt als je denkt aan het Shanghai van de 21e eeuw. Met zijn duizelingwekkende wolkenkrabbers en luxe winkelcentra is deze ultramoderne wijk een waar spektakel om te bewonderen. Tussen de iconische bouwwerken die de hemel raken, vind je de Oriental Pearl Tower en de Shanghai Tower, die beide observatieplatforms bieden voor een adembenemend panoramisch uitzicht over de stad. En voor wie liever met beide benen op de grond blijft, ligt het gezinsvriendelijke Shanghai Ocean Aquarium direct om de hoek.

Jing'An: De authentieke Shanghaise levensstijl

Jing'an-tempel

Gelegen in het hart van Shanghai is de wijk Jing'An dé plek waar oud en nieuw samenkomen. De wijk is vernoemd naar de boeddhistische Jing'an-tempel en je ontdekt er een fascinerende mix van architectuur uit de jaren 20 en 30 en moderne wolkenkrabbers. Heb je zin om te shoppen? Dan is Jing'An de ideale plek. Voor luxe ga je naar de winkelcentra Plaza 66 en het Jing'an Kerry Centre, en vergeet niet om in het weekend de markten van Anyhi Road te verkennen.

People's Square Area Shanghai|0.54km from city center
As an older five-star hotel, the decor is still not outdated. The location is super convenient, just a 2-minute walk to the pedestrian street. It's becoming more and more international, with lots of foreigners staying here. The service is excellent! Since we were traveling with our child, I called beforehand to ask about rooms, specifically requesting a standard room. They were very accommodating and even upgraded our room. The breakfast spread is very rich and varied, the mini wontons are delicious, the pastries are exquisite, and the coffee has a wonderful flavor. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in Shanghai.

Hotel 🏨 Location: Excellent! It's right next to the New World Mall and directly connected to it, which is incredibly convenient. Dining, watching movies, catching a stand-up show, and taking the subway are all easily accessible. Service: Extremely polite. This five-star international hotel is very attentive; staff always greet you, and the service is spot-on. They also help with luggage when you enter and leave. Special thanks: To Joe from the concierge team for helping me hail a taxi and even loading my considerable luggage into the car. His service was warm and thorough.

The Shanghai Marriott Marquis City Centre boasts an excellent location right in the city center, adjacent to People's Square and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, making transportation incredibly convenient with People's Square Metro Station right next door. The room experience was also great; our requests were promptly attended to. Overall, it was a very good experience.

Huaihai Road Area/Xintiandi Area Shanghai|1.78km from city center
Service: Before checking in, I read many reviews complaining about the check-in staff. I definitely experienced it myself. All the staff avoided eye contact; it was hard to find someone to help with check-in, and everyone seemed busy. There was a young man near the elevator entrance who suggested not standing there. He would just lower his head and walk away when he saw guests; I don't know what purpose it served to have someone standing there. The bellhop at the luggage storage was enthusiastic, but I suggest increasing the refrigerated storage space and training staff. They shouldn't advise guests to carry their refrigerated items with them when checking out, especially on such hot days; it's better to leave them in the air-conditioned hotel. The staff at the entrance who helped with luggage and opened car doors were polite, and their service was appreciated. Some of the hosts at the breakfast restaurant were very warm and friendly. Others were not, and some were only friendly towards Japanese guests. The chefs at the cooking stations were all excellent, and the food was delicious. Facilities: Older hotels always have shortcomings in their hardware. As soon as I exited the elevator on the guest floor, I smelled dust, and there was a musty smell in the room. The shower equipment was old and difficult to use, the washbasin was quite low, and the small magnifying mirror for makeup/removing makeup was broken; either you had to hold it up very high to see your face, or it would fall down and still not work. This can't be changed in the short term, so it needs renovation. During renovations, I suggest not installing mirrors facing the bed again. I slept very poorly at night. Cleanliness: The cleanliness was much better than I expected. There was no dust in the nooks and crannies, which was a pleasant surprise. Noise: The room was very close to the elevator, but surprisingly, there was not much noise, which was acceptable. However, there was a regular rumbling sound, which I suspect was the subway passing by; it was very noticeable. The sound disappeared after the subway stopped at night and reappeared in the morning. Overall, it was not a very pleasant experience, but I've tried it. I won't choose this hotel again.

Train Station Area Shanghai|2.4km from city center
I highly recommend the Pullman Shanghai Jing An. My stay in the Deluxe King Room was perfect, deserving a full five-star rating. The hotel is located in the heart of Jing An, within walking distance of the metro station, making it incredibly convenient to get to major commercial areas. The room was spacious and elegant, the bed soft and comfortable, and the entire room was spotlessly clean with excellent soundproofing. The front desk service was attentive and efficient, housekeeping was meticulous and thorough, and the breakfast offered a rich variety of delicious options. The overall ambiance is light luxury and grand, making it perfectly suited for business or leisure travelers. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Shanghai.

I was very satisfied with my stay during my business trip. The hotel was quiet with good soundproofing, and the internet was stable, so working was stress-free. Staff members Lily, Diana, and Quain G proactively provided guidance throughout my stay. The lobby was well-managed and orderly, with no queue-jumping or chaos. The guest rooms were neat and clean, and the toiletries were complete. The surrounding transportation was convenient, making it a great value for business travel.

Extremely satisfied with every aspect. I honestly didn't experience any of the pitfalls mentioned in online reviews. I booked a Deluxe Twin Room, which was spacious, bright, and well-lit, offering great comfort. The cleanliness was reassuring, and the functional layout was excellent. The lobby is grand and expansive, and the overall service was superb. The breakfast, while standard, showed a thoughtful touch. In short, it met all my expectations for Westin's standards. It's truly the top choice for a high-value five-star hotel in a prime location in Shanghai.

Jing'an District/West Nanjing Road Shanghai|2.6km from city center
I booked this hotel based on a friend's recommendation, and I'm glad I did. The room facilities are well-maintained, and the customer service is excellent. They even offer room service until after 10:30 PM! We also enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Chinese restaurant on the second floor – my kids loved it! While the breakfast buffet isn't super extensive, the quality of the food is very good. The location is fantastic, right next to Jing'an Temple and Jiuguang Department Store, making it super convenient for dining and shopping. Public transport is also easily accessible. The only minor downside is that the road outside can get quite congested, especially when trying to hail a taxi. It's fine if you're not in a rush, but it can be a bit of a hassle if you're on a tight schedule.

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|2.51km from city center
For this trip, we chose the Pudong Shangri-La. The hotel's Guest Relations Manager, Lynn, provided excellent and thoughtful service. She prepared our room in advance and arranged an upgrade to a higher floor room with a view of the 'Three-Piece Set' (referring to the iconic Lujiazui skyline), and even arranged a late check-out for us. We are very satisfied with her service. The hotel's location is also very convenient, making travel quite easy. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a fantastic view. Although the hotel shows some age, it is well-maintained. Overall, we are very pleased with our stay.

Train Station Area Shanghai|2.52km from city center
Stayed for four nights and it was a very comfortable hotel. Transportation: It's very close to the train station, making travel around the area very convenient. It's also only a 15-minute ride to the Bund. The subway station is about two traffic lights away from the hotel (a 5-8 minute walk). One day, I took my child to Disneyland, and a taxi ride took 45 minutes. Facilities: You can tell it's been renovated and upgraded. The smart toilet was convenient, and the hairdryer was a Laifen. The swimming pool was bright and comfortable; my child wanted to swim there every day during our stay. Service: The service was warm and friendly. The room was cleaned thoroughly every day, which always put me in a good mood when I returned; the concierge proactively helped with luggage and was very responsive with car services. Suggestion: During peak breakfast hours, I recommend adding a seating service. Over the weekend, there was a corporate event, and the number of diners surged. It was hard to find a table, and the staff weren't very proactive in clearing tables. I suggest improving service awareness in this area.

Sheshan, Songjiang University Town Shanghai|35.83km from city center
During the Dragon Boat Festival, I brought my family for a trip nearby. The Shimao Wonderland InterContinental, though I'd heard mixed reviews online, I decided to experience it for myself. After confirming our check-in time and our preference for a quiet room, Hanna from the front desk proactively added me on WeChat. She reminded me that because it was a holiday and there was an amusement park nearby, parking might be tight, advising me to inform her 30 minutes in advance so she could make arrangements. We checked in on Dragon Boat Festival noon, and I was surprised to see the lobby's seating area packed with people and a long queue at the front desk. However, thanks to Hanna's foresight, our room was already reserved, making the check-in process quick and efficient. Our room was arranged away from the elevator, and the soundproofing was remarkably good. We couldn't hear any plumbing from the adjacent rooms or the floors above/below, whether it was the shower or the toilet. This undisturbed experience is a rare find, whether in hotels built years ago or newly constructed ones, a truly effective soundproofing is hard to come by. There was a minor issue with the sink drainage during our stay, which was promptly resolved, showing their attentive service. However, I have to complain about the sink's design; it was a square basin, which easily splashed water, and water tended to accumulate near the faucet – not very practical. Our stay included a complimentary travel photoshoot with three free photos. The photographer was excellent at creating a lively atmosphere, and our family portrait turned out vibrant and natural, boosting our mood significantly! Online reviews for the Western restaurant were mediocre, but the Chinese restaurant, Cai Feng Lou, received many positive comments. I spontaneously decided to try it, worried about not getting a table, but Hanna immediately helped us book a table for that evening. The standout dish in the set meal was the diced wagyu beef – a true test of a chef's skill. Each piece was large, yet perfectly tender, flavorful, and didn't get stuck in your teeth. This mastery certainly justifies the numerous trophies and prestigious brand accolades at the entrance! At the restaurant entrance, there was also an introduction to the Shimao Quarry Hotel's background and construction history. Indeed, many aspects of its design were quite visionary, considering it took 12 years to build! The cliffside light show at 8:30 PM featured stunning opening audio effects, and the fountain design added a lot to the visual impact of the mythological story. The Chenshan Botanical Garden, included in our hotel package, was even more amazing. I felt like I could spend two days there, enjoying nature, the charm of the vast lawn, the beauty of the dawn redwood forest, and the tranquility of the camphor forest. Overall, it was a good experience, but the price was just too unfriendly. Even without it being a major holiday, it was so expensive. Given the current economic climate, a more affordable price would be needed to maintain sustained market demand.

Wujiaochang Commercial Area Shanghai|9.08km from city center
The hotel's location is excellent, and cleanliness wasn't an issue. However, the facilities had some significant drawbacks. The bathroom door was very problematic; the toilet and shower shared the same glass door, which was extremely difficult to slide and very inconvenient (as shown in the picture). There were too few power outlets, making charging devices a hassle. The light switches weren't clearly marked, and the night light shone directly into your eyes. Regarding service, the younger male front desk staff member was rude and unprofessional. When I checked in, I wasn't the only guest, and he was impatient and impolite with everyone, not using any basic pleasantries. He also didn't inform me about any of the hotel's facilities; I had to find the laundry room myself later. At one point, a hotel call came in to the female staff member opposite him. She wasn't sure about the situation, hung up, and then asked the male staff member, who directly mocked the guest who had called for inquiries – that was completely out of line. He also made a point of pretending to be busy with other things (even though guests could see his screen and he clearly wasn't busy) before grudgingly responding to guest requests. Although the hotel's physical amenities aren't a major issue, I will not be staying here again due to the service attitude. Being next to a university, I'm sure they won't miss one guest.

The Jiayu Hotel is right next to Jiaxuan, essentially two types of accommodations under one brand. Jiayu is more like an apartment-style hotel, which is a great option if you're traveling with children or elderly family members.

Hongqiao District Shanghai|8.21km from city center
I've found a real gem in this modern tower. The hotel occupies floors 15 to 18, and the reception is a 10/10 – the staff are super friendly, they offer coffee, tea, and little pastries, and there's also a very comfortable coworking area. The rooms are like a small studio with a kitchenette: microwave, washing machine, dryer, a full-size fridge, and plenty of closet space. The bed and pillows are extremely comfortable, and the shower… wow! The water pressure is amazing, absolutely wonderful. The door is floor-to-ceiling, so steam from long showers doesn't escape into the rest of the room. The sink area is a bit small, but it's fine for one or two people. Special mention: the magnifying mirror and the Japanese toilet – a real luxury that I really appreciated. We were so comfortable that we ended up extending our stay by 3 more days. The only downside: the metro is about 1 km away, maybe a bit more. But the value for money is so good that what you save on the hotel easily covers a taxi ride. From now on, this will be my go-to place in Shanghai. Highly recommended. I'll definitely be back.

The hotel is well-located, right in the middle of the pedestrian street. We stayed in a standard room, but after our flight was canceled due to a typhoon, we extended our stay for another day and were moved to an upgraded room. The room was fantastic, we were probably lucky. It had two rooms: a living room with a sofa and a magnificent view of the pedestrian street. Besides a tea set, there was also a coffee machine. There was also a large, separate bathroom. It's an ideal option for a family with a child. The breakfasts are very good, with options for both children and adults. The only thing I didn't notice was an omelet station; there were fried eggs and scrambled eggs instead. But you won't go hungry; a delicious and hearty breakfast is guaranteed.

The service is incredibly proactive and outstanding, making for an extremely comfortable stay. Sicily at the front desk was sweet and enthusiastic, helping us upgrade to a wonderful room type with excellent privacy. Located in the bustling Xintiandi, the location is incredibly convenient, yet the room itself is very quiet – a true hidden gem in the city. The bedding is comfortable, and the toiletries are Diptyque. Breakfast is fresh with new items introduced weekly. Overall, I highly recommend it; if I'm on a business trip nearby again, I'll definitely choose to stay here.

Finally got to experience the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund, and it was fantastic: 1. **Prime Location:** Absolutely the best spot on the Bund. You can step right out to the Bund morning or night. 2. **Top-notch Service:** The lobby was full of very courteous staff who were always ready to help. If they caught your eye, they'd offer a friendly smile. The doormen outside, as soon as they saw your room card, would warmly say, 'Welcome back!' They'd also help with luggage, both getting in and out of the car, making you feel truly at home. The air conditioning and the thick duvet made the room temperature uncomfortable. I called the front desk at 2 AM, and someone quickly came with an engineer to check the AC. Although the problem wasn't solved, their prompt response was commendable. While I was on my phone at breakfast, a waiter proactively and thoughtfully brought me a phone stand. During checkout, they even asked about my stay experience. Overall, this level of service is rare; it made me feel like a valued guest and truly enhanced my Shanghai trip. I will definitely choose the Waldorf Astoria again.

You can't beat the location – right in the heart of Nanjing West Road, bustling outside, yet quiet inside. The hotel is all-suite, with the smallest room being 62 square meters, offering separate living and sleeping areas, so space is definitely generous. Each suite comes with a kitchen (induction hob, microwave, etc.) and a washer-dry dryer, which is incredibly practical for long stays or dealing with the rainy season. The hotel's design has an old Shanghai charm, but it's not overly fussy; the Art Deco details are very appealing. Rooms are comfortable, and the restaurant is pleasant. There are reliable dining options nearby, and it's convenient for business meetings. The gym is outsourced to a chain brand, so the equipment is better than typical hotel gyms; there's also a pool for a relaxing dip. The terrace offers expansive views, perfect for an evening drink. Overall, the facilities are practical and impressive. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Shanghai.

Jing'an District/West Nanjing Road Shanghai|2.97km from city center
This is Shanghai's oldest foreign-related five-star hotel. Since it was taken over by Jinjiang and rebranded as Kunlun, the service has seen a slight difference, though overall it still meets five-star standards. The staff are proactive in greeting guests. The main issues lie with the afternoon tea and happy hour. For afternoon tea, the Puerh tea was already dry. As for the happy hour noodles, I'm not sure what the chef was thinking – they were cooked, then cooked again, left to sit, and then cooked one more time when ordered. Do they think all guests are grandmas? **Facilities:** My room was upgraded for free, and it was very spacious. The only drawback is that you have to step into the bathtub to use the shower, which isn't ideal, but it's understandable given the hotel's 90s foundational layout. **Hygiene:** The hygiene was excellent. My only minor complaint was the insufficient hand soap.

This hotel was designed by the renowned Neri&Hu studio, boasting a sophisticated yet understated Thai Wabi-sabi style. Its location is super convenient, right next to the Taikoo Hui shopping mall! The warm, wood-toned spaces are softly therapeutic, avoiding the usual lobby crowds and excessive noise, ensuring maximum privacy. The window seats offer fantastic light and shadow play. The entire hotel exudes a Southeast Asian Zen atmosphere, from the bamboo grove at the entrance to the vintage tuk-tuk details. It's like stepping from a bustling commercial district into a tranquil sanctuary. Seriously, the details and service are top-notch!

1️⃣ The hotel is located in a historic building on the Bund. While its luxury might not compare to other high-end hotels in the same price range, staying in a historic building right on the pedestrian street offers a unique and fulfilling emotional experience. 2️⃣ Turn left from the hotel and you'll find the Peace Hotel and the Bund. Turn right and walk a few hundred meters to reach the start of Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and a Metro Line 2 station. The location is absolutely perfect. 3️⃣ The room isn't particularly luxurious but it's very clean and tidy. The bathroom has a wet/dry separation but isn't very spacious, which is understandable for an old building. The room also has a fridge and a coffee machine (the fridge comes with complimentary Coke and Sprite). 4️⃣ Regarding the balcony: Being on the seventh floor with good soundproofing, there's no need to worry about noise from the pedestrian street disturbing your rest at night. The balcony isn't huge, but it's big enough for two people to chat and enjoy a drink or meal facing each other – it's not as cramped as I imagined. There's also space to hang clothes. As for taking photos, due to the floor level and high railings, it's a bit tricky to find the best angles (or maybe my photography skills are just terrible 😢), but you can still capture some memorable shots. Just check out the pictures. 5️⃣ Finally, I want to mention the service. From luggage storage before check-in to check-out, the service was excellent. The staff were very gentlemanly, patiently answering all questions. Highly recommend.

🌸 Lente (maart–mei)

Het kwik loopt langzaam op, maar het blijft heerlijk aangenaam met een zeer prettige luchtvochtigheid. Houd alleen rekening met een paar mogelijke buitjes aan het begin van het seizoen!

Dit wordt vaak beschouwd als een van de beste periodes voor een bezoek. Neem een lichte jas mee voor het vroege voorjaar.

Kies voor binnenactiviteiten. Gelukkig barst Shanghai ervan!

Drakenbootfestival, riviercruises en het ontdekken van binnenattracties
