Amenities at the RMB1.3 billion (US$202.7 million) complex include an infinity pool, sports and children facilities, a 10,000m2 banquet hall, waterfront F&B options, a yacht harbour and a 3.5km-long beach.
Its international convention centre boasts 61 multi-functional meeting rooms and a 3,700m2 pillarless ballroom that can accommodate 3,000 convention participants or 1,500 diners.
The IR is located across the river from Shanghai, where the East China Sea, Yellow Sea and Yangtze River converge. It is also in close proximity to the Yuantuojiao Scenic Resort, with the Shanghai city centre and Shanghai Pudong International Airport a 100-minute and 80-minute drive away respectively.
