For office workers, nothing is more important than taking advantage of the weekend to take the family out for a walk, enjoy the scenery, and relax. Today, I will share a Shanghai Sun Island in the suburbs of Shanghai that is suitable for the whole family for a weekend getaway. In an environment with extremely poor air quality, it is rare to have such a pure land. The Shanghai Sun Island Resort Hotel is warm and pleasant in the sunlight, giving people the enjoyment of a foreign land. Many office workers will go there for vacation on weekends, so it is necessary to book rooms in advance. Sun Island is located near Zhujiajiao Ancient Town on the outskirts of Shanghai. It is said that there were traces of human life on the island during the Western Zhou Dynasty in China, making it a historic island. In May, the vegetation on the island is lush, the willows are green, and the fragrant grass is everywhere, giving a feeling of April’s beauty and a paradise away from the world. Self-driving/bus route: We drove from downtown Shanghai to Sun Island via the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, which took about an hour and was very convenient. If you don’t drive, you can also take Line 17 and get off at Zhujiajiao Town, then take a taxi or transfer to a bus. Favorite Parent-Child Room: The check-in lobby and villa area of the Shanghai Sun Island Resort Hotel are separate. After completing the procedures, you can drive or take the island’s shuttle bus to the room. The villa area is large, with lush vegetation, adjacent to the Mao River, and walking through it gives a feeling of a secluded path. We chose the club parent-child room next to the river. Before checking in, we were told that this room type has 71 square meters, and upon arrival, we found it to be indeed very spacious. The soft decoration in the room is all cartoon themes that the baby likes. You can see a large chessboard carpet as soon as you enter, with several boxes of Lego toys, children’s tents, and cartoon dolls next to it. It is indeed a Shanghai parent-child hotel with 0 bad reviews. The room in the Shanghai Sun Island Resort Hotel is equipped with a capsule coffee machine and free soft drinks, and also gives a bottle of red wine produced by the hotel’s brother brand, which feels very cost-effective. The room is designed with a parent-child bed, a double bed + a baby bed, the bathroom has an independent bathtub, children’s special toothbrush and toothpaste, and a child’s toilet seat pad, which is very thoughtful. After putting away our luggage, we called the island’s shuttle bus to the Mermaid Pier because our daughter saw the Mermaid Train when we entered the island and wanted to ride it, and the pet paradise is also at the Mermaid Pier. Pet Paradise: Before we got to the place, we saw all kinds of parents with dogs, and Juanjuan was very excited. The pet paradise is divided into indoor and outdoor areas. Indoors, dogs can have afternoon tea, play on climbing frames, and play with ocean balls. Outdoors, it is a large pasture, and dogs can also swim, which is a professional pet wading pool. It is worth mentioning that the Shanghai Sun Island Resort Hotel has pet boarding and pet training services, equipped with professional dog training coaches, who can help dogs correct bad habits and learn some skills. Juanjuan was boarded here for an afternoon. The little guy was timid and kept barking. The staff were very patient and gave him biscuits and yogurt, which was super nice.
After leaving the Pet Paradise, I took my daughter to ride the Mermaid Train, which is composed of blue and white colors and adorned with vibrant paintings on both sides, full of childlike innocence. The train stops at three stations throughout the journey: the hotel lobby, Mermaid Dock, and Small Green Field. With a ticket, you can ride all day, enjoying the scenic views of the island and feeling refreshed. Recreation/Entertainment: Before arriving, I had heard that the Equestrian Club on Shanghai Sun Island was quite famous. After breakfast on the second day, I took my daughter horseback riding. Initially, she was a bit afraid of the large horses, but later the staff brought her a Shetland pony to ride, and she fell in love with it immediately. Before getting on the horse, protective gear is put on, and the staff will lead the horse throughout, ensuring no danger, and my child had a great time. At the horse farm (Shanghai Sun Island Equestrian Club), I saw many children learning professional horse riding, looking very handsome. There are many places on the island suitable for children to play, and we chose to go to the Craftsmanship Pavilion to do handicrafts first. There are teaching teachers and tool kits, and you just need to follow along. We chose a soft pottery and a leather bag, and both were successfully completed! The weather in May is already quite hot, and many people have gathered at the Mermaid Dock, making water sports a popular activity. Our family of three rented a water bike, enjoying a leisurely and melodious ride. Culinary Pleasures: On the first day, the family tried a small hot pot for dinner, with one pot per person. The set meal includes vegetables, meat, fish, and shellfish. The pork bone soup base is thick and rich. I heard that the vegetables are organically grown on the island and are very crisp and refreshing to eat. Combined with meat and seafood, it is enough to eat. If you still feel hungry, you can add a staple food, and it is unlimited. The breakfast on the second day was eaten in the hotel’s buffet restaurant, which must be praised as very high quality in the hotel, with both Chinese and Western styles. The open noodles are very delicious, and the self-made soy milk and yogurt are unique. If you want Western-style food, there are also salads and bread. The whole family ate very satisfyingly. Lunch was chosen at the Waterfall Western Restaurant on the first floor of the lobby. Since we ate too much in the morning, the three of us were not very hungry. I ordered a special children’s meal for my daughter, with children’s special tableware, freshly made hamburgers, and fruit juice, which were very popular. My husband and I tried the new dirty milk, a dessert made with fresh milk and fruit. In early summer, it is very good to have a cup of it cold. Shanghai Sun Island Resort Hotel is very suitable for the whole family to spend the weekend. There are entertainment projects suitable for children, experience projects suitable for young people, health meals suitable for the elderly, and a pet paradise suitable for dogs. Everyone can find their own vacation mode on Sun Island.
