Shanghai Donghejiugu Oxygen Land Co.,Ltd. East Farm Resort Villa Branch

The hotel's environment is exceptional and very expansive, featuring rice paddies, lotus ponds, and large lawns, which are truly delightful to behold. The rooms are very spacious, with unique Japanese-style decor. It would be even better if there were clothes drying racks available in the rooms or courtyards. The hotel offers a 24-hour self-service convenience store, an indoor swimming pool, and a very nice flower and bird painting exhibition. The hotel restaurant is also excellent; the roast goose, braised lamb, and steamed white fish we had for dinner over two nights were all delicious. The goose, surprisingly, was not tough at all but quite tender. The vegetables grown on their own farm were incredibly fresh. The buffet breakfast was varied, very clean, refined, and delicious. The Koshihikari rice was excellent, and the rice toast baked with cheese spread was also quite unique. What truly stood out was the staff's warm and enthusiastic service, along with the hotel's family-friendly activities. This time, we experienced visiting the rice museum, making natural herbal mosquito repellent, and preparing Chongming pastries – all of which were very interesting and thoughtfully arranged.

The weather was absolutely perfect during our visit – clear blue skies, white clouds, and lush green surroundings that were a feast for the eyes, especially for the kids. It wasn't crowded at all. The butler service was outstanding; they contacted us a day in advance to coordinate. The hotel's shuttle service was incredibly efficient, with virtually no waiting time, taking us quickly to any spot on the property. As our child needed a nap, we only participated in a few activities this time: DIY Chongming cake making, vegetable picking, collecting cypress seeds to craft incense, and interacting with the adorable pets. The first floor of the Starry Sky Building features a swimming pool, a specimen exhibition, and a children's play area, while the second floor hosts an art exhibition. All the staff were exceptionally friendly. The dining options were hygienic and generously portioned; I particularly enjoyed the shredded pumpkin and rice toast. Our booked room was very spacious and tidy, even allowing our little one to ride a toy car around indoors. Upon departure, they surprised us with a gift of vegetables, rice, and cookies that the kids adored. Overall, our experience was truly excellent, and we'd definitely come back for a second visit if given the opportunity!

An unexpectedly delightful hotel with an elegant and spacious atmosphere. Surrounded by vast rice paddies and lotus ponds, the air was filled with the fragrance of rice, the croaking of frogs, and the chirping of cicadas, creating a truly relaxing environment. The Japanese-style detached villa we booked was specifically designed by a Japanese architect; its overall aesthetic gave off 'Maldives vibes' and it was incredibly photogenic. The interior decor also showed great attention to detail, and the bedding quality was excellent. The service was attentive and thorough; every hotel staff member was warm and proactive in offering assistance. Breakfast was also a delightful surprise. Each dish was prepared with care, fresh and delectable, and we were told that most ingredients were sourced from the hotel's own farm. Dinner did not disappoint either. Most notably, the hotel is themed around 'rice'. We visited their rice exhibition hall and gained a better understanding of the rice products they offer.

The room was comfortable and clean, and the outdoor courtyard was equally spotless and well-maintained. Our Family Suite was decorated in a simple yet elegant style, offering a spacious and open layout, perfect for kids to run around freely. Instead of a traditional TV, there was a large projector screen, allowing for screen mirroring or logging into personal streaming accounts – you could literally watch anything you wanted. With adults and children sitting opposite, enjoying snacks and drinks while watching a movie, it was incredibly relaxing. Upon arrival, we immediately headed to the pool for the kids to burn off some energy. In the evening, we got to interact with the little lambs and bunnies, as the open environment allowed for close contact. Since the hotel's golf cart parking area was conveniently close by and relatively quiet, the adults could sit on a golf cart, keeping a comfortable eye on the children. With the evening breeze sweeping across the fields and us chatting, it was incredibly relaxing. After all that playing, the food at the nearby restaurant was delicious. Following dinner, there was an outdoor movie screening on the large lawn next to the restaurant, complete with free popcorn! Breakfast the next day was served until 10:30 AM, followed by engaging activities such as Chongming cake making and fruit picking. Though it was physically tiring, it was a wonderful emotional release. After returning to our room for a quick shower before check-out, everything felt perfectly balanced!

The hotel boasts a wonderful environment, and the Chongming weather was also fantastic. The expansive views and the refreshing breeze made for a truly comfortable experience. The staff were exceptional; their warmth and happiness felt genuinely sincere, a refreshing change from the typical commercialized, impersonal service. I can imagine I'd be just as happy working in such a beautiful setting, haha! We enjoyed local Chongming delicacies, fed some small animals, tried our hand at making Chongming cake, and had fun digging up peanuts and picking eggplants and chili peppers. We returned home completely satisfied and will definitely be back!

Chongming Family-Friendly Hotel Experience: Impeccable Details, Absolutely Worth It! We visited this Chongming hotel with the kids at the tail end of summer vacation. While the price was a bit on the higher side, the experience far exceeded our expectations – absolutely worth every penny! ⛰️ Environment: Serene, Comfortable, and Modern Facilities Our tatami room was a pleasant surprise – brand new, fully equipped, and we could comfortably watch movies on a projector, making it perfect for a family stay. The room was about 200-300 meters from the lobby, but getting around was hassle-free as the shuttle service was on-call and very efficient. On the way, you pass a lotus pond, which in midsummer, with its blooming lotus flowers and dangling seed pods, offers picturesque views at every turn. Both the indoor and outdoor environments were incredibly relaxing and refreshing. 🍴 Restaurant: Delicious Food, Great Ambiance The restaurant is right next to the lobby, with an average cost of around 100 RMB per person, offering excellent value for money. I highly recommend the braised goose and braised white goat – the meat was incredibly tender and flavorful. We didn't encounter a single bad dish; it's no exaggeration to call it 'the best restaurant within a ten-kilometer radius.' What's even better is that after dinner, there are outdoor movie screenings with complimentary popcorn. Watching a movie with the kids while snacking really enhances the whole experience. 🏊♀️ Pool: Clean, Quiet, Family-Friendly The pool facilities were excellent – not only brand new but also exceptionally clean. When we visited, there were very few people, so we practically had the pool to ourselves. The dedicated shallow area is perfect for children to play, allowing parents to relax and supervise. It's an ideal spot for families to cool off and have fun. 💁 Service: Heartfelt Details, Truly Thoughtful The service was the 'biggest highlight' of our trip! Besides the on-call shuttle service, public areas like the lobby and pool thoughtfully provided children's toys, picture books, and even a ping-pong table. The kids could always find something fun to do, giving parents a moment of peace. What was even more touching was that the hotel proactively printed photos for the children, and when we left, they even gave us a bag of organic vegetables – truly a gesture full of warmth and care. Even during the outdoor movie screenings, staff would proactively light mosquito coils. These small details really made a lasting impression. Overall, you could feel that every staff member was genuinely dedicated to providing excellent service. It's a shame we had limited time and couldn't try many of the other activities with the kids. We'll definitely be back when we have the chance, and I sincerely wish the hotel continued success!
