Jiangnan Folklore Museum Tours

My wife and I finally made a trip to China for the first time. When we were looking for a hotel that resembled the true character of chinese architecture we picked the Shanghai Royal Garden Hotel. We chose the Royal Garden for its exquisite looks, character and gardens. We were not disappointed. The hotel is made up of several separate multi level buildings offering a spa, workout, restaurants, halls for weddings and banquets and conventions. The main building for the guest rooms. The grounds look like an asian paradise and are so clean and manicured the guest are out walking around doing photo ops everywhere. The staff are very nice and were very helpful even tho I couldn't speak chinese. They used translator apps on their phones to communicate as I did too. They had a breakfast buffet in the mornings which was awesome. There was so much food to chose from. There is also a dinner buffet or you can go upstairs to the restaurant and order off there menu. The food for dinner was great too. When we booked this hotel we actually didn't consider the location in Shanghai. As it turned out it was a 35 to 45 minute car ride to the heart of central Shanghai where there's major shopping to do and all the touristy sites. Another alternative was the subway. There is a station right across the street which was so convenient, cheap and fast. If you used Didi which is like Uber over there it was awesome. It was cheap plus someone came very quickly. I definitely recommend here.

The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Xujiahui, with plenty of shopping malls and restaurants nearby. It’s also very convenient to get around and visit different attractions. One of the most memorable parts of our stay was cycling to the Xuhui Campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. We loved the historic entrance, the beautiful red-brick library, and the tree-lined campus. We even came across a lively group of high school students on a study tour. It was a great opportunity to tell our child about this prestigious university and give them a little extra motivation to study. The apartment itself was very well maintained. The bedding was clean, there was plenty of hot water, and having two bathrooms was especially convenient for our family. The kitchen and bathrooms were spotless, and the housekeeping was very professional. The host responded quickly and even recommended a restaurant that was perfect for a large family dinner. Definitely a five-star stay!
