Here's your essential
Shanghai travel guide - our hosts
Jin Ye and
Jack Cameron tour you around the best places to eat, drink, shop, and play in Shanghai. What to do in Shanghai in the month of
March 2015:
GETTING AROUND:
The
Maglev train currently connects the airport to Shanghai's subway system but if you're not staying in
Pudong, it is faster and wiser to take a taxi. You can hail a taxi anywhere in the city to get to
People's Square, but remember that taxi rate increases by around 35% during night time.
Public buses charge ¥2, but for the truly adventurous only. The subway is definitely the most efficient way to go around the city - from Pudong to Minghang Disrict and all they way to
Kunshan in
Jiangsu Province.
ATTRACTIONS:
The Bund is Shanghai's famous waterfront area which runs on the western side of the
Huangpu River, facing Pudong. The main attractions tourists can find here are the
Light of Huangpu River,
Sail, and
Wind sculptures, the Chenyi
Square and The Sightseeing
Tunnel.
Shanghai Museum boasts one of mainland
China's best collections of ancient
Chinese artifacts. Learn more about the
Chinese culture as you explore the four-floor museum which has a collection of over
120,
000 precious historical relics, calligraphy works, paintings, furniture, and sculptures.
EAT,
SHOP, AND PARTY:
Shanghai is a flourishing city where you can find all the good food from all over the world. With nearly 60 thousand restaurants in the city, the food choices here are endless!
Dine at
Shun Feng Gang for remarkable
Chinese cuisine.
Taste the refreshing but delicate regional flavors of Shanghai,
Hangzhou, and
Suzhou.
For some brunch, snack, or dinner, drop by at Xiangxinji. Its laid back atmosphere plus pan-fried flour dumplings are popular to locals and tourists alike.
If shopping is in your agenda, you've come to the right place! Between Pudong and Puxi, there are a dozen of shopping malls to explore day and night.
Sample off-the-hook cocktails prepared by skilled mixologists at
The Roof. One of the most outstanding bars in the city, The Roof is the perfect cap off for a day of sightseeing in Shanghai.
