The hotel also offers boat rides, and those boats come with water guns, which we had a lot of fun with! There's an 'adventure course' for kids that looked so entertaining I almost wanted to try it myself. I even got to spray the kids on the zipline over the lake with my water gun, haha. We had a great time! There are both indoor and outdoor pools. Having stayed at all the five-star hotels in Songjiang, Le Méridien definitely ranks among the top in my book. It's very suitable for family trips with kids, as there are plenty of activities for them. This was my second stay, and even the sunset came out to welcome us!"
