[2025 Shanghai Hotels] Travel Guide for SOMLAND CHONGMING (Updated Jul)

Tired of the hustle and bustle and fast pace of the city? Amid the lush greenery of Chongming Island in Shanghai lies a healing utopia—Chongming Songman SOMLAND Guesthouse. With nature as the backdrop and poetry as your companion, it invites you to temporarily leave the noise behind and encounter the life you long for. The guesthouse is hidden in the ecological heartland of Chongming Island, surrounded by hundreds of acres of ecological farms and native forests. Open the window to see rippling rice fields and dancing egrets. The natural wood-colored buildings blend harmoniously with the natural landscape, with flowing water and swaying flowers and plants in the courtyard. Each season brings a different romantic scene. Whether it’s the morning mist in the forest or the brilliant sunset in the evening sky, you can immerse yourself in the poetic and peaceful pastoral life. Step into the guesthouse, where 12 uniquely styled rooms are inspired by the "pine," cleverly integrating natural elements into the design. Extra-large floor-to-ceiling windows bring in ample sunlight, paired with furniture made from natural materials and soft lighting to create a warm and comfortable living space. Some rooms also feature private terraces and scenic bathtubs, where you can soak in warm water while gazing at the distant countryside, allowing your body and mind to fully relax in the moment. Here, the experience goes far beyond accommodation. You can visit the ecological farm to pick fresh organic fruits and vegetables by hand and feel the joy of harvest; participate in fun DIY activities to make your own plant specimens and handmade aromatherapy; when night falls, gather around the bonfire to enjoy freshly grilled food, gaze at the starry sky, and listen to the chirping of insects and frogs. Or take a stroll around to explore Dongtan Wetland Park and Dongping National Forest Park, getting close to nature. Chongming Songman SOMLAND Guesthouse is a refuge from the city and a place to return to your true self. Bring your family and friends here to slow down, find the purest beauty of life in the pastoral scenery, and leave behind unforgettable holiday memories.

I stayed at the famous "Songman B&B" in Chongming this weekend and loved it. The navigation of the B&B's location is very accurate. There are charging stations for ground parking. There are also electric cars that scan codes at the door, which is very friendly for those who don't drive. There is a very beautiful garden right at the entrance. At this season, alliums, irises and marigolds are in full bloom, forming a staggered and orderly arrangement. The hydrangea has not yet reached its peak blooming period, and it should be more beautiful in a while. 🌼🌹🌸 The check-in lobby is also a small restaurant with welcome refreshments. I like the wooden tables and books in the lobby. It's quite different that you need to change into slippers outside the room. The rooms are exquisitely decorated with a natural and original design style. The small courtyard outside the sliding door of the room is very beautiful. There are some shade plants swaying in the wind. Sitting on the lounge chair outside during the day, you can hear the sounds of nature and people working outside, which will make you feel peaceful and slow down. The design of the bathtub is also very special. It is connected to the yard, so you can see the sky and trees outside while taking a bath. The view from the room's window is as beautiful as an oil painting. There are also many relaxing activities, such as wood-fired pizza, evening concerts, flower arranging for Mother's Day... I attended the concert and learned about many fun musical instruments. The famous coffee shop "One Foot Garden" is not far away. I went there for afternoon tea and met a lazy kitten and a cute sheep.

The functional planning is: one building serves as the main building (accommodation building), with three floors; the other is an annex building, with one floor. The interior of the building is re-planned by "increasing the number of floors", "adjusting the room layout", "staircase position", etc., while the exterior of the building is re-transformed for "roof", "windows" and "exterior wall decoration surface". In the main building, a total of 552 square meters of space mainly provides accommodation functions. The original floor was two floors, and it was adjusted to three floors in terms of feasibility. The original divided space was too small in single area, the room shape was narrow and long, and the original staircase structure position blocked the view of the national protective forest. Therefore, the position of the staircase was adjusted in the design, and it was placed in the middle position on the north side of the building to maximize the optimization of the building's movement line and visual range. At the same time, the existing protruding rectangular building structure balcony can help to meet the room area and layout requirements appropriately, achieving a balance of room quantity and size. In the annex building, the original building allocates its space reasonably.
