Touring Shanghai, please recommend?

[buffybuffy]

Japan Shinkansian is expensive. One trip is equivalent to almost an air ticket.

The Shanghai maglev cost RMB100 if I recalled for tourist, but that was too long ago. I have not got chance to try the other HSR in China...but those are not maglev.

I used to travel between SHA and Wuxi. Used to take meglev. Then I opted for company driver to drive me from Pudong airport straight to Wuxi. Reason? Hate to pass through the security and crowd. Rather sit inside the car and see the scenery outside or check emails or edmw.

Also better to kill time if I’m bring my customer with me. So then can smoke along the way

Will be spending few days at the convention centre near Hongqiao airport for conference - seems like quite far from downtown - is there any high speed rail to travel from there to the bund etc?
And is Shanghai disney worth a visit?

HSR not along the way , suggest to take DIDI to the bund 40 - 50 mins IIRC.
7 - 8 pm set off, siam the peak and siam the heat, see some good night lights.

Now is semi summer + raining in Shanghai. So plan ahead!

in after shanghai uncle comment

Can also go to Tianzifang and also hang around at the French Concession. If you are not keen to do a day trip out to 1 of the water towns then you can also visit Qibao or Nanxiang, both of which are easily accessible by the Shanghai metro.

Stayed in Shanghai for about 6 months for work and it was 1 of the highlights of my career.

Just take Didi... there's no point squeezing through the overwhelming crowds. Shanghai Disney is packed, and it can get really hot. People there love taking photos to the point of obsession, and you'll inevitably photobomb someone. Most people are ok, but if you kenna this couple, you might have a fight on your hands. LOL.

Oh and the air quality in SH isn't gonna be great coz smokers are everywhere.

Granted I was there for a week and with a young whimpering kid in tow, I didn't like shanghai one bit.

Food is meh compared to Beijing.
The bund is just a very long concrete walkway. Even at night it was meh. My kid called 东方明珠 'ball...big ball ' which was a very apt description.

A lot of shopping malls. Tooo many. You see one, U see all.

豫园 ..haha. forget it. U go by the front door they will up sell U some performance package and help U book some dining inside. its boring. Don't bother. When i was there , the local peasant was literally washing clothes on the commemorative tablet of the person who built 豫园. See liao also sian.

There is an area near 武康大厦. That one is not bad. Very old shanghai and full of large houses built prior to world war 2. Worth to spend time there. Area quite bohemian.

Other than that..the high light of my trip was actually my 5 star hotel at 200 bucks sgd a night with a very good international buffet. Lol.

I wouldn't go back.

shanghai is just a city like HK, Spore , KL.
just malls and malls

Just remember when you are at Nan Jing rd walking towards the bund and if you are alone, there will be female approach you ask you for direction or buy her a drink.

Also if you are eating alone, remember to keep the menu with you after ordering. I kena the trick where during ordering my fish was $50, vege was $20 and meat was $30. Nice $100 and they as usual collected the manual back. Then after meal, making payment, my bill was 3 times the amount and naturally the cashier took out the menu and show me and the price indicate are all 3 times from the one I saw during ordering. LL and don’t wish to ask for trouble, so I pay. Heng is business trip so can claim from company

Wow all restaurants in SH like this scammy?

The girls do what one? Can nego price with them?
