Gokurakuyu Biyun
Pudong, Shanghai
A Japanese-style hot spring bathhouse in Pudong: mineral baths, saunas, and a buffet - the bathhouse experience TikTok discovered.
Gokurakuyu is a Japanese onsen operator that brought the full sento ritual to China, and its Pudong branch at Biyun is the classic. Pay one entry fee and the day is yours: indoor and outdoor mineral pools at 38-42 degrees, jet baths, saunas, a cold plunge, and a rest lounge with a restaurant serving Japanese and Chinese comfort food.\n\nThis is the world foreigners discover on social media and cannot believe is real - a bathhouse where you eat, nap, and stay for hours. Towels, robes, and toiletries are included. Weekday mornings are gloriously quiet.
Best for: A full Japanese-style soak-and-sup day in Shanghai.
