Where is the Crowne Plaza Shanghai Hotel?

Located where you step out onto Nanjing Rd from the back exit of the hotel this was an ideal base to explore Shanghai.

Only a few minutes walk to the train, People Square and approximately 15 minutes walk to the Bund down Nanjing Rd to see the beautiful lights of Shanghai.

There are several small tram style vehicles in the middle of Nanjing Rd, for 10 Yuen it takes you quite a distance down Nanjing Rd and stops only a 100mt from this hotel so good for tired feet after exploring.

Also only a few minutes to a Big Red Bus stop if you want to do a hop on hop off tour.
