Shanghai Accommodation - A Little Jiangnan Residence in Zhujiajiao.

I visited Shanghai for five days in March, and on the first day, I headed to the Jiangnan small town - Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, which is a scenic spot on the outskirts. From Pudong Airport to Hongqiao Airport, you can take a direct bus for ¥36 per person, and it takes about an hour to get there, which is very convenient. 🚇Transportation: Close to Hongqiao Airport, you can take the subway directly to Zhujiajiao Station from Hongqiao Railway Station, and then call a car with Didi to the guesthouse. However, the guesthouse is located in a small alley among residential buildings, which is quite hard to find and easy to get lost in, but it is very close to the surrounding attractions, about a ten-minute walk to Fangsheng Bridge. 🤵🏻Service: There is no front desk service, and there is a phone number at the door. You need to contact the homeowner yourself, which can be a bit inconvenient. Foreign travelers usually do not have a mainland number, and I really don't know how they would contact the homeowner. 🏠Room: A delicate one-bedroom suite with a river-view terrace HK$870.97 per night (original price) 😄The area is quite large, with two floors. The upper floor has a large double bed, a large TV (but you can't watch programs, 😨completely useless) and a small window desk. The lower floor has two halls, one with a four-person mahjong table near the entrance, and the other with a sofa and coffee table near the terrace, equipped with large square glass windows, overlooking the terrace and riverside. 👍The best part is the terrace view, 😍where you can enjoy the view of the small houses across the river, reminiscent of Tai O in Hong Kong. ❌The biggest drawback, which is also quite unbearable 💢, is that there is no 🚫hot water when showering, only lukewarm water. No matter how much my friend and I twisted the knobs and turned on all the power, the water was still not hot enough, and the water pressure was very weak 😭. On a night with only 8 degrees, we felt like we were freezing 🥶while showering, ☹️almost getting sick from the cold. Because of this drawback, 😫I would not stay again, nor would I recommend it. Fortunately, I stayed at half price, otherwise, it would not be worth the original price. Additionally, there are many guesthouses with a similar style in the vicinity, with many options, and most of them are available for same-day check-in.
