Mountains surround clear streams and encircle the city. White clouds and green peaks are hard to depict. Lush mountains and clear waters are like a poem and a painting. They always haunt urbanites. Without leaving Shanghai, in Qingpu, a treasure hotel surrounded by lush mountains and clear waters is located here – Crowne Plaza Shanghai Xiayang Lake.
1. An oasis in the city, surrounded by lakes and green trees. Lying in bed and looking at Xiayang Lake, sleeping in the scenery. This kind of comfort may have been long missed by city people. The environment here is extremely good and the natural landscape is excellent. There is a lawn garden in front and a lake garden at the back. It’s time to come here for a vacation and take a deep oxygen journey.
2. A bird’s-eye view journey from the clouds. When the weather is clear, coming to the hotel balcony or executive lounge, you can see the most beautiful sunrise and sunset in Qingpu. Whether it’s shooting from above, below, or horizontally, all angles are direct shots of great pictures! It must be a circle of friends that everyone likes! Changing scenes with every step, beautiful to the point of suffocation.
The harmonious scenery of Xiayang Lake is the most beautiful. The poetic dwelling of Qingpu Library. The worldly flavors of Qingpu cuisine. ‘Leisurely sedan chair knows not the richness of mountain colors.’ Then, let’s set off.The hotel boasts over 300 rooms, with the Crown Superior Room being particularly spacious, catering to the needs of families with children. These rooms feature a comfortable King Size bed and a Slumberland mattress, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The ergonomic bathtub design provides a pleasant bathing experience, especially when sharing the fun with children. Additionally, the hotel offers a variety of themed parent-child rooms.

A 160-acre outdoor zoo is on the premises, where children can interact with various small animals such as peacocks, piglets, bunnies, and swans. There’s also a small children’s playground and an indoor ‘naughty castle’ for endless fun, featuring an ocean ball pool, slides, climbing frames, and more. The outdoor playground and a colorful, indoor constant temperature swimming pool are also available, making it an irresistible destination for children.
For those who wish to spend a lazy afternoon in the hotel, there’s an opportunity to indulge in the hotel’s afternoon tea.
