Shangri-La Fuzhou
City-centre views with a real kids' pool alongside the spa
About this hotel
Few Fuzhou hotels manage both a serious adult spa and a genuine kids' pool, and the Shangri-La is the clearest example of one that does. The jacuzzi sits alongside a sauna, steam room and swimming pool toys, while a separate kids' pool and kids' meals mean the trip doesn't have to be one or the other. The location overlooking Wuyi Square, Wushan Mountain and Yushan Mountain puts the city's central viewpoints within a five-minute walk, useful for an evening walk up Yushan once the heat of the day has passed. Fitness classes round out the wellness offer for guests who want more than a passive soak. It's a strong pick for a mixed group where the adults want a proper spa afternoon and the kids need their own water to splash around in.
- Jacuzzi and sauna
- Kids' pool
- Steam room
- Five minutes to Yushan
Our take
This suits a family or multi-generational group where the adults want a jacuzzi and sauna afternoon while the kids have their own pool to burn energy in. It's a weaker fit for a couple hunting a quiet adults-only wellness break, since the family-facing amenities are a core part of the property's identity. The five-minute walk to Yushan Mountain is a genuine bonus for an evening out.
- ✓Book the jacuzzi and sauna session for late afternoon once the kids have had their turn in the separate kids' pool.
- ✓Walk up to Yushan Mountain in the early evening for the view once the day's heat has eased off.
- ✓Ask about the fitness classes schedule if you want more than a passive soak during a longer stay here.
Why we love it
- A genuine kids' pool alongside the adult jacuzzi and sauna
- Five-minute walk to Yushan Mountain
- Overlooks Wuyi Square and Wushan Mountain
- Swimming pool toys that make the family pool actually fun
Why guests love itWe came for a week split between sightseeing and downtime, and the split between the adult jacuzzi and sauna and our daughter's own kids' pool made both halves of the trip actually work. She had the swimming pool toys to herself most afternoons while we alternated between the steam room and a walk up to Yushan Mountain once the light started to soften over Wuyi Square below.
