Shanghai State Guest House—West Suburb Guest House

Located at 1921 Hongqiao Road, a significant address, the Shanghai West Suburb Guest House has hosted numerous state leaders and dignitaries throughout history. With Shanghai's urban development, its original location in the western suburbs now lies within the city. The guest house boasts a vast landscape of nearly 800,000 square meters, including 1,200 acres of gardens and waterfronts, offering guests a unique visual feast and redefining the concept of a luxury garden state guest house. It evokes the special atmosphere of "a boat sailing on water, people wandering in a painting." The grounds feature expansive lawns, wide waters, and various specialized gardens, including large wooded areas, hilly terrains, flower and fruit forests, bamboo groves, lotus ponds, bulb gardens, and greenhouses. With a lake, exotic flowers and plants everywhere, over 800 towering ancient trees, and rare birds roaming freely, the guest house buildings are nestled within a dense, verdant forest. Building No. 7, Muruju, showcases a simple and elegant design, blending art and nature. Its architectural style draws inspiration from the traditional residences of the Jiangnan water towns, reinterpreted with a modern approach.
