The Most Relaxing Afternoon in Shanghai

If you're planning a trip to Shanghai, make sure to include a tea time at the Aman Hotel in your itinerary. As soon as you step inside the hotel, away from the bustling city tours, you're enveloped in a serene atmosphere that feels completely detached from the city's noise.

Sitting in the luxurious lounge, enjoying tea and desserts, you might find yourself wondering, 'Am I really in the heart of China?' The tranquil garden views outside the window and the refined interior design make even a simple cup of tea a special experience. It's a space that allows both your body and mind to rest during your travels.

While a sightseeing-focused itinerary is great, dedicating a day to savoring the slow flow of time and experiencing the true elegance of Shanghai can be a significant highlight of your trip.
