I think if you come to...

by alexia_lin

I think if you come to Shanghai for a couple of days,you absolutedly have to go to the Bund which is situated along the western bank of Huangpu River,especially in weekend night.It will be very impressive because the lights are all on
! What the interesting thing is that you will feel you are in the across of new Shanghai and old Shanghai when you are walking along the Bund.The reason is that the other side of Huangpu River is a new area called Pudong which no one would like to move to few years ago,but now,Pudong is the hottest place in Shanghai,even in China.Oh,by the way,the picture which is on the top of this page is Pudong.
My friend took it on the top of a resaurant near the Bund,it looks fantastic,doesn't it? :)

Chic Stores and Restaurants

by nomadig about Three on the Bund

Three on the Bund is a newly developed collection of eclectic fashion shops and restaurants just next to the Bund. The ground floor hosts a few high-end stores, such as Giorgio Armani and Emporio Armani, ready to drain your wallet.

The place is designed with an edge, especially Giorgio Armani's store is a worth of visit for the interior only. Browsing through the fares is free, so why don't you drop in?

There is also an art gallery on the upper floors that provides some cheap thrills. The restaurants are gourmet orientated, so the price is higher than in Shanghai in general.

BBQ beef slice

by conniechong about Bongka Korean Restaurant

Korean bbq, with variety of beef slice seasoned with different sauce, stoned rice, ginseng chicken soup(rice is well hidden inside whole chicken chest)

Dining place is not so spacious, generally ok. Salad is always my favorite, with black sesame sauce to replace unhealthy mayonese, with sweet potato, indeed a sweet surprise.
There will be waitress who do the grilling for you. Wrap the beef slice with raw vegetable leaves, before that, dipped with sauce plus chili paste, hhmmmhhh....

Do not order oxtail soup. Too creamy, and the smell of it when soup is cooled is too yukky...

Quaint but hive of activity!!

by albaaust

These gardens are located in the Old City and include a nine cornered bridge, mid Lake Pavilion and other Chinese style buildings.

This was actually a quaint and interesting place to visit with its ornate buildings, alleyways packed with small shops and "teahouses" over water.

It is definitely a favourite haunt of the local and Chinese tourists. It was packed with people eating at dumpling restaurants scattered or shopping throughout the complex!! This is also the place to buy shushan stone carvings. Don’t forget to look at the basement area under the main buildings beyond the walkway.

There are also some interesting shops across from the entrance to the gardens.

Shanghai, worlds capital

by jpizquierdo

As far as I know , this is today the capital of the world.

Visit the antique market, you´ll find nice tapestries and decor small objects.

Be aware that shanghainise people are rude, if you are waiting for a taxi, you stop it, and they will take it. don´t expect any king treatment, you will be only a number...But Shanghai worth it. Great nightlife, restaurants, antiques and fake market.
