Shanghai is a fabulous city that offers endless opportunities and experiences for everyone. But sometimes, we want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and do nothing for the entire weekend with our friends or families.
Below is a list of hotels & resorts within a 3-hour drive from Shanghai that is the perfect weekend getaway location for you to unwind and enjoy peace.
1. Yushui Hidden Villa
Ideal for - Couples, Families, Friends
Driving time from Shanghai - 3 Hours
Located in the renowned Nanshan Bamboo Sea, Yushui Hidden Villa is the perfect getaway retreat for couples or families. There is a wide range of villas, from a one-bedroom villa to a six-bedroom villa. Each villa comes with a personal butler, a private hot spring, and a magnificent view of the bamboo sea. Many villas also come with a private infinity pool like the one above. Even though all villas do not come with a television, you will not be bored because there are many activities that you could participate in on top of the view that no one can ever get tired of.
