When choosing accommodation for a trip to Shanghai, the most important thing for me is "not to fuss when going out". This time, I directly chose Riverdale Residence Xintiandi Shanghai and stayed there for a week. I was completely impressed by its location circle - there was no need to rush or take detours, and the subway, scenic spots, and food circle were all within walking distance. It is not an exaggeration to say that my home is located in the heart of Shanghai's core area.
Let's talk about the most worry free transportation first. The apartment is located on Shouning Road in Huangpu District. Walking 500 meters southeast is the Grand World Station of Line 8/14, walking 700 meters west is the Huangpi South Road Station of Line 1, and turning 800 meters south is the Laoximen Station of Line 10/13. Three or four subway lines weave a convenient travel network. Go to Lujiazui to see the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, and take Line 1 to Line 2 for 20 minutes; To Hongqiao High speed Railway Station, the direct journey of Line 10 takes less than half an hour; Even if you go to Disneyland and transfer from Line 14 to Line 11, you don't have to transfer much along the way, saving an hour's journey faster than staying in a suburban hotel. There is a bus stop 50 meters away from the downstairs. Bus 932 and 17 can directly reach Yu Garden and Chenghuang Temple. When you don't want to take the subway, you can take the bus to walk slowly. You can also see the street view of old Shanghai along the way.
The most outstanding feature is its pedestrian friendliness, which is completely tailored as a foothold for city walks. Walking north for 10 minutes outside is Huaihai Middle Road, K11、 Shanghai Times Square and Hong Kong Square are lined up in a row, just a step away from high-end shopping malls; Walk 5 minutes to the south and directly enter the Shikumen Alley in Xintiandi, the new store in Dongtai, and the red landmark of the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which can be strolled around; Walk eastward for 15 minutes, and directly touch the south gate of Yu Garden. You don't need to take a taxi to grab the position in the morning. In the evening, you will stagger the peak to see the night view of Yu Garden, and the feeling of beauty and beauty will be doubled. Even the People's Square and Nanjing Road Walkway can be reached in 10 minutes by a shared bike, without wasting time on commuting.
The surrounding living facilities are full of surprises. There is a 24-hour convenience store just a 3-minute walk downstairs, and you can also buy hot milk and snacks after wandering the streets late at night; 800 meters away is Hema Fresh. If you want to cook some seafood or make a light meal in the apartment kitchen, buying ingredients is particularly convenient. The food density in the surrounding area is extremely high: the time-honored local cuisine on Yunnan South Road, the characteristic crayfish on Shouning Road, the online cafe and western restaurant hidden in Xintiandi Alley, from street snacks to high-end banquets, you can eat in different styles for a week within 15 minutes. Even if you have a craving in the middle of the night, ordering takeout can be delivered within half an hour. The apartment's delivery robot can even deliver meals directly to the doorstep, saving you even the hassle of going downstairs to pick up your package.
Before coming to Shanghai to play, I always wasted a lot of time on taking the subway and rushing to the bus. This time, staying at Riverdale Residence Xintiandi Shanghai, I truly experienced the joy of "living in the city center" - without having to do complex transportation strategies, I can easily see the scenery when I go out, and the landmarks I want to check in are just a few steps away, even slowing down the pace of travel. If I come to Shanghai again next time, I will definitely choose this place, after all, it's really hard to find accommodation that can make transportation and surrounding facilities so convenient.Show more
