Published on 2020-08-06 14:13. ‘Shanghai has a sea but no clean beaches’ is a common misconception among most Shanghai residents. In the southwest direction of Shanghai’s Jinshan District, there is a coastal resort with azure skies, soft sand, marine activities, and coastal scenic promenades. All the romantic vacation elements you can think of are available here at Jinshan City Beach. Adjacent to the beach, only 40 meters away, stands a brand-new coastal resort hotel opened this year, the Jinshan Seaside Bole Hotel. With a view of the breathtaking sea from every window and a doorstep to the azure beach, the experience rivals that of Sanya, with a surprisingly high cost-performance ratio! Today, let’s unveil the mystery of this treasure hotel! A new resort landmark on the eastern coast of the Magic City, full marks for artistic sense and family-friendly amenities! Around Shanghai, people usually choose Sheshan, Chongming, and Dishui Lake as weekend vacation destinations, often overlooking Jinshan. Little do they know that Jinshan offers unique vacation elements, allowing you to experience the charm of azure seas and blue skies without leaving the city. Being by the sea is Jinshan’s advantage, and Jinshan has maximized this advantage by creating a 7.2 square kilometer coastal resort with a coastline stretching 3500 meters—Jinshan City Beach. Many people think the sea in Shanghai is turbid, but the clarity of the water here is astonishing. This is mainly due to the physical sedimentation, biological degradation, artificial wave creation, and natural circulation treatment of the beach water, scientifically transforming the beach and using high water hidden groins to isolate the turbidity of the East China Sea, creating a city landscape shoreline of golden sand and azure water. Next to the city beach, a 25-story landmark building stands out, which is the highest hotel on the coastline—the Jinshan Seaside Bole Hotel. It is adjacent to the city beach and coastal park, with an endless magnificent sea view on one side and a city green lung surrounded by greenery on the other, enjoying fresh oxygen every day, how can it not make people feel refreshed? Bole Hotel is a high-end hotel brand under the Greenland Hotel Tourism Group, providing high-quality travel services for business and leisure guests, and creating unique and unforgettable accommodation experiences for customers. At the Jinshan Seaside Bole Hotel, the most significant impression is the hotel’s strong sense of art and family-friendliness. The dry landscape design at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor, combined with lines and light and shadow effects, creates a fashionable and trendy lobby entrance hall, which is full of surprises at the first impression.
Upon entering the lobby, artworks and sculptures with mercury-like textures can be seen everywhere. In the simple and bright space, the artistry and texture of the space are enhanced. The lights in the hotel are also a major highlight. The lamps in the elevator hall, lobby bar, and front desk are of different styles and shapes. Each one blends with the environment. In addition to the cool shapes of the lamps, the brightness and darkness of the lighting are designed just right. Guests in every space of the hotel feel very natural, friendly, and comfortable. The front desk is located on the second floor of the hotel. With three independent front desks, the maximum privacy protection for personal information of each guest is ensured during check-in. The light lines at the front desk, under the reflection of the smooth marble floor, look particularly beautiful. This is what a good hotel creates in terms of visual pleasure for guests in design. In addition to putting great effort into artistic design, the parent-child facilities around the hotel also allow every child staying to find happy holiday time. There is a children’s amusement park and a mini zoo in the coastal park 200 meters away from the hotel. Not only are there rich entertainment items, but the prices are also very亲民. There are more than 10 entertainment facilities such as carousels, pirate ships, bumper cars, etc., suitable for both children and adults to play. There are animals such as monkeys, Malayan sun bears, emus, birds, and waterfowls in the animal corner. Although the scale is not large, it is enough for children to play for a while. Moreover, the ticket for the zoo is only 2 yuan. Isn’t it very touching? Although the scale of the amusement park and zoo cannot compare with professional large amusement parks, it is much more fun than the regular parent-child facilities of hotels. The Most Beautiful Sea View Hotel in Shanghai. Watching the Sea While Lying in Bed is Not a Dream. Everyone hopes to have such a holiday life: waking up every day and being able to see the endless sea view by opening the curtains, and falling asleep listening to the sound of the waves at night. And such a holiday way can be experienced at Jinshan Binhai Qubei Hotel. Thanks to the shape and height of the hotel, most rooms in the hotel can enjoy an unobstructed sea view. The sea view room is 40 square meters, which is sufficient to meet the accommodation needs for holidays. The room is simple, clean, warm and comfortable. The super-large 2-meter bed is soft and comfortable, ensuring a good night’s sleep every night. The most attractive part of the room is the glass window. From the window, you can have a panoramic view of the coastal park, Jinshan City Beach, and the two-color sea. On a sunny day, it seems as if you are on vacation in Sanya at this moment! Of course, even for the basic room type of the hotel, the view outside the window is also pleasing to the eye. Small Western-style houses with red roofs are surrounded by green plants and also have a unique charm against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds. It is especially recommended to stay in the sea view suite of the hotel. With a 270-degree sea view, you can realize your dream of watching the sea while lying in bed.
