PadelX (Global Harbor)

PadelX is a commercial padel club whose central-city courts sit on the open-air rooftop of the fifth floor of Global Harbor in Putuo, one of the first padel operators in China. Glass-walled courts with a skyline backdrop make it an easy sell for a first game, and rackets are available so you can turn up without gear. Court rental runs roughly 300 to 600 RMB an hour, booked through the club's WeChat account. It photographs well and works as an occasion rather than a weekly habit.
