Jianguo Hidden Hotel stands at 222 Lanhua Road in the Pudong district, about five minutes on foot from Longyang metro station. The hotel is new, with 158 rooms, and was built for those who come on business or in transit: not far away are the maglev to Pudong airport and the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. There is a gym, a restaurant and café, a tea room, a coworking space, electric-car charging, luggage storage and conference rooms. Robots in the hotel carry out small errands, and a translator helps foreign guests. Reviews already note the breakfast and the cleanliness. The hotel will suit those who arrive or depart early, go to an exhibition, or simply want a break from central Shanghai in a modern district. A separate joy is the maglev: the train accelerates so that the trip to the airport takes less time than breakfast, and many come to Shanghai just for this short attraction.
Longyang: Pudong’s transport hub
Longyang station in Pudong is an important hub: several metro lines cross here and the maglev line begins, the fastest magnetic-levitation train in the country. The trip to Pudong airport takes less than ten minutes. Nearby are the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, Century Park with its lake and cycle paths, the Pudong Jialicheng shopping centre and Longyang Square. This is a modern part of the city with few old streets, but a lot of greenery and new buildings. The centre with the Bund and Nanjing Road is half an hour away by metro. It is worth planning an evening in Century Park separately: there are spacious lawns, a lake and cycle paths, and at sunset ducks glide over the water. If you are coming for an exhibition, check exactly which hall you need, as the exhibition centre is huge and between the halls you have to walk or take a shuttle.
- Maglev — a fast train to the airport.
- Expo Centre — the city’s largest fairs.
- Century Park — spacious avenues and a lake.
- Longyang Square — shops and cafés.
Traveller’s tip: If you have an early flight, check the maglev timetable: it starts running in the morning and stops in the evening. At night the airport is reachable by taxi. During exhibitions hotel prices rise, so book in advance.
