Shanghai has another photogenic spot worth checking out!

This trip to Shanghai for relaxation turned out great thanks to choosing the right hostel. It's just a short distance from Shanghai Railway Station, and the subway station is ridiculously close—a maximum three-minute walk, even with luggage in tow. Just a couple stops to Jing'an Temple, making shopping and dining super convenient. I fell in love at first sight when I walked in. The common area isn't huge but oozes charm—a vintage townhouse with polished patterned tiles, gorgeous stained-glass windows, and a retro crystal chandelier. An old piano sits in the corner (not sure if it still works), and classic Shanghai calendar posters adorn the walls. When the light hits just right, every corner becomes a cinematic photo op—no wonder I kept seeing girls snapping pics of each other. The best part? It's women-only. From check-in to heading upstairs, everyone I encountered was female, creating a naturally relaxed vibe. Whether reading in the lounge, freshening up, or climbing to the top bunk at night, the sense of security here is something mixed dorms simply can't match. The shared rooms are tidy, with thick curtains for privacy, lockers, and all the essentials. With unbeatable convenience, peace of mind, and Instagram-worthy backdrops, this all-female hostel is seriously worth considering. 🎠 Oriental Paris Female Youth Hostel (Shanghai Railway Station Branch) ✨ 3F, 360 Hengtong Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai
