My first trip to Shanghai was made even better by staying at Holiday Inn Express shanghai jinqiao central. The staff were welcoming, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the value for money was excellent. Though slightly away from the city center, the hotel is just a 10-minute walk to the metro station, making it super convenient to explore the entire city. Fun fact: There's a Pokémon Gym Center nearby, which was a delightful surprise for a fan like me! Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Shanghai!
