The Intercontinental Ruijin, situated in the French Concession is a perfect respite from the horns and high-rise. Stepping foot on the grounds of this lavish, yet down-to-earth hotel set in acres of landscaped gardens, leaves you agog as to how places like this even exist in such a mish mash of chaos and fumes. They even have a croquet lawn! Try lazing away an afternoon in their library sipping tea or try their scrumptious buffet under a huge chandelier. #fine-dining #restaurants #snack #food #hotel
