Travel: China - Shanghai

[Porky Pig]

Thanks JS for your recommendations. I am beginning to see SH/BJ in a different light. For me as I travel there once a quarter or 4x a year, I will hardly buy much stuffs there. Will be heading there in early Nov.

If you want a more hip n arty location, try Xintiandi inns 新天地...

How can you miss out http://www.tianzifang.cn ? :yikes:

Even if you are not the artsy type, you can easily waste... I mean spend, half a day here.

Another place to sign up for day trips is http://www.chinassbc.com. It's owned by the government and prices are clearly listed. More importantly, you won't get any of the nonsense extra side trips to factories, temples etc.
