The InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland, a world-renowned architectural masterpiece built into the side of a quarry, has become a symbol of Shimao Group’s innovative approach to blending urban development with nature. Recognized by National Geographic as a “world architectural wonder,” this hotel dives 88 meters below ground, offering guests an unparalleled experience.

One of the hotel’s most striking features is its exquisite dining venue, Cai Feng Lou. Infused with elements of traditional Chinese culture such as phoenix motifs, birdcages, and feathers, this restaurant is a culinary gem. Led by a team of top chefs, Cai Feng Lou blends creativity with culinary artistry to deliver a remarkable dining experience, bringing guests on a journey of flavors that delights the senses.
