Qi'ao Bath & Retreat is an upscale bathhouse and wellness spa located in North Bund, set underground in Hongkou District. Named after a tranquil river described in the ancient Classic of Poetry, the expansive subterranean retreat blends contemporary bathing culture with aesthetics inspired by the Song Dynasty, making it a prominent hit on Instagram and Chinese social media.
Guests swap their street clothes for traditional Song-style robes before exploring the multi-level complex. The thermal area features artificial karst cave pools, jade saunas, and herbal baths, complemented by dedicated quiet zones offering singing-bowl sound therapy and tea-smoke meditation. Between bathing sessions, visitors can try calligraphy and traditional games in wooden pavilions, or unwind in modern sleep cubicles and gaming lounges.
In keeping with modern Shanghai bathhouse culture, visits often turn into half-day or overnight retreats. Admission typically includes extended access to the pools, relaxation halls, and generous amenities, with freshly made fruit teas, piles of seasonal fresh fruit, and extensive seafood buffet dining available on site.
