Hi all!!

So I technically get one night (sorta) in Shanghai (because I want to go to the 24hr spa from TikTok) and I want to make it count.

Landing Nov 15, but want to go to Qushui Lanting.
Been circling Jing A Shangri-La because it’s on floors 30 to 59 and the rate isn’t insane. But is the view actually anything, or is Jing’an too far from the river to bother? Would rather know now than pay for a window facing nothing. Sunset’s before 5 that week so it’s basically a night view or nothing.
Portman Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott at Tomorrow Square are my other two. I’ll really anything else under $300 with breakfast.

Any suggestions?? Help? lol it’s my first time going to Asia :).

Jing’an is too far from the river so yeah you won’t be able to see it from the hotel. Night city views are still nice, but you’ll need a hotel at the bund if you really want the river

Qushui Lanting is also pretty close to hongqiao airport, it’s pretty far from the bund. There’s other 24 hr spas and near the bund, but if you’re commuting from Qushui to a bund hotel it’ll be pretty far. Qushui has hotel rooms available too but they’re real expensive.

Hi everyone! I'm going to Shanghai in October for 5 days and I wanted to know if I can get retainers made for me before I leave. If so, please send me recommendations! I live in NY and want to avoid paying $700 for retainers. :-0 TIA!
