Check in at 100 Family-Friendly Hotels—25. Qidong Zhouyi Hot Spring Hotel

Just a 1.5-hour drive from Pudong, this hidden gem hot spring hotel is perfect! Qidong Zhouyi Hot Spring Hotel is truly the perfect choice for a weekend short getaway, offering great value and a private hot spring experience♨️ 🏯 Hotel Environment: The entire resort is designed in a Japanese courtyard style, with white walls and black tiles complemented by exquisite greenery. Every corner is perfect for capturing Zen-inspired photos. I especially love the small courtyard attached to the rooms—sitting under the bonsai tree, sipping tea, and soaking up the sun is super relaxing. The biggest surprise is the loft room type: the downstairs living room has a hot spring soaking pool, and the upstairs bedroom is quiet and private. It’s super warm even without turning on the heater in winter! 🌿 Nearby Activities: • Walk to Qitang City, where wearing Hanfu for photos feels very authentic • A 10-minute drive to Black Sand Beach, which is super romantic at dusk • Sea Pastoral is great for bringing kids close to nature 🛁 Hot Spring Experience: Every room type has its own private hot spring soaking pool! The water quality is excellent, leaving your skin silky smooth after soaking. The butler will prepare the hot spring water in advance, with the temperature just right—not too hot. It’s recommended to soak in the evening while enjoying the greenery in the courtyard for a very healing experience. 🍽️ Dining Tips: The restaurant options are limited, so it’s recommended to book dinner in advance (service is a bit slow). However, if you want more choices, you can order takeout—nearby restaurants deliver quite quickly. ✨ Check-in Tips: 1. Pet-friendly! No extra charge for bringing your furry friends 2. It’s best to choose a room with a courtyard for better privacy 3. Weekends are quiet with fewer guests; weekdays might have conference groups 4. Don’t forget your swimsuit! Although the rooms are private, soaking and taking photos look great 5. The hotel provides shuttle service, making it convenient to visit nearby attractions I have to say, this is truly the hidden king among hot spring hotels around Shanghai. For just over 500 RMB per person, you can enjoy a private hot spring and spacious rooms—perfect for couples’ dates or gatherings with girlfriends! If you want to escape the city, this is definitely the top choice~
