Not so convenient to cycle if you want to be close to the action. It will be inconvenient to cycle on some paths especially with the crowds. You will also have to return the bicycle to where you rented it. Reduces the flexibility that you have, since at some points you may want to wander away from the main path or take a boat ride. I visited Lingyin temple and the Feilai peak. Need time. Leifeng Pagoda is a modern re-construction, although it is on the same site and has its links to the Legend of the White Snake. I preferred LiuHe Pagoda which is the setting for Qianlong's kidnapping in The Book And The Sword.

thanks for your help
can help me agar agar plan how should i walk to cover most of the more interesting places?

You may do this - 37-27-23-Su Causeway- 20. Already about 8km. Which is why having also LiuHe Pagoda and Lingyin Temple may be too much for a day.

JinAn temple area is nice, used to stay around there too when i visited Shanghai.

U can try their local shanghai food.
They tend to be sweet though
But i like their sesame noodles, fried pork chops, deep fried small fish.

Going to shanghai on thr second week of December, staying at the fairmont peace hotel. Where's the nearest supermarket from the hotel? Looking on Google maps the nearest carrefour/tesco is at least a stop away :/

That can't be the case. Cross the river over to Lujiazui, Pudong. There is a supermarket in the basement of Super Brand Mall.

The nearest metro stop is a few blocks away, quite troublesome if carrying lots of stuff. Anything within 5 minutes walking?
