Sleeping in your freezer, putting your head in an ice bucket or standing still for hours, you tried them all to beat the heat in Shanghai.
At Insiders, we know THE best way to cool down...
It is Saturday afternoon, you check-in at a superb 5* boutique hotel in Xintiandi, you enjoy the swimming pool and chill in its relaxing atmosphere. A few hours later, you are cruising the city on a classy 1950's sidecar. Your foreign guide takes you for a 2-hour open-air sidecar ride in the shade of the Former French Concession platens and through the small alleys of the old town. Far away from the crowds, you meet up with intriguing people testifying of their eventful past, taste surprising culinary specialties such as hairy crabs and step into a fascinating page of history dating back to the Foreign Concessions created in 1843. From the former hideout of Du Yuesheng, a famous Chinese gangster, to the old circular city with its dusty temples and old-fashioned atmosphere, through hidden Art Deco villas and buildings challenging the laws of gravity, he shows you Shanghai's thousand faces with your hair blowing in the wind. To celebrate this breach in your heat fight, your guide opens a bottle of Spanish Cava with a great view of the Pudong skyscrapers. You end this refreshing weekend with a sumptuous breakfast at Hai Pai. Reinvigorated, you are ready for another week in this wonderful city. And because you can't just keep this kind of secret to yourself, bring a friend or your better half along for just 3,300 CNY (total price for 2 persons).
Total price is 3,300 CNY for 2 persons including a 2-hour sidecar ride with free pick-up at the Andaz Shanghai in Xintiandi, a small bottle of Spanish cava, one night at the Andaz Shanghai (double bedroom with King or twin beds) and breakfast at Hai Pai. Also enjoy full access to pool and gym in the Andaz during your stay.
This offer is available with check-in on Friday, Saturday or Sunday night.
