Overview

We love our location! Yunnan road is also known as Yunnan food street because of the incredible Chinese cuisine available on this one small stretch. We are a five minute walk from People's Square - one of the main metro line hubs for Shanghai. From our front door, you can walk to most of the cities major tourist sites within 15 minutes.

The rooftop bar at the Phoenix is a gorgeous place to start and end the day. Serving breakfast and good quality coffee in the morning, and a small selection of Shanxi-style snacks and alcoholic drinks in the evening. It's a lovely place with a very relaxed atmosphere.

Location & Transportation

Explore the old haunts of the "city that never sleep". Dashijie - the former pleasure palace of Shanghai - is a 1 minute walk from the Phoenix. Currently being rennovated, we still do not know what the developers have planned - but it's beautiful!
As well as enjoying the food that Yunnan road has to offer, you can explore tiny Shanghai backstreets and markets, main commercial shopping centres, art galleries and museums .
