When traveling abroad it can be hard to decide where to stay. For travelers to Shanghai, there are numerous lodging options to choose from, including hotels, hostels, and lodges. While there are many lodging choices available, lodges can offer travelers a unique experience and provide several advantages when compared to other lodging types. In this post, I’ll discuss why lodges are the best choice when travelling to Shanghai.
Lodges provide travelers with a distinct local experience. Hotels and hostels tend to cater to tourists and can often be quite generic, while lodges are often locally owned and managed, allowing travelers to experience genuine, local hospitality. These lodges are often located in residential neighborhoods, providing visitors with a chance to explore how the locals live and discover hidden gems of local culture.
Another great benefit of choosing a lodge when travelling to Shanghai is that it can be more cost-effective than other lodging options. Lodges tend to be less expensive than hotels, often providing several amenities and quality accommodations for a fraction of the price. Furthermore, travelers can often customize their lodging based on the number of guests and the duration of their stay, allowing for more freedom and flexibility when it comes to budgeting.
Finally, lodges can offer a more personal stay than other lodging types. With a lodge, travelers will often be warmly welcomed and be able to meet and interact with other guests, allowing them to form meaningful connections with people from all walks of life.
In conclusion, lodges are a great choice when traveling to Shanghai. Not only do they provide a unique local experience, they can also be more cost-effective than many other levels of lodging, and offer a more personal and intimate stay.
