Greentree Inn Jingan Hotel Shanghai

Green surrounded by Gray

by matjung about Green Tree Inn - Shanghai South Station

The Inn provides free internet access in the rooms (LAN) and two complimentary bottles of water. There is also a water boiler to cook green tea. Some bathroom items can be bought too. Pairs of sleepers are also provided, I think they are free, too.

If you are on a budget, it´s a good place to stay.
My room rate (Expo room) is 288 Yuan.

To the expo area (Gate 8) it´s about 15 minutes by Expo bus Nr 2.
Don´t expect that you can have a chat with the staff in English.
The skills are limited, but they do what they can. A good location, somewhere between Shanghai South Station, Shanghai Railway Station, the Bund and the Expo Area.

To Shanghai Railway Station it is about 30 minutes with metro line 3.

To maglev station in longyang road it is about 70 RMB by taxi.

To Longhua or the Shanghai Botanic Garden it is 12 RMB.

Spectacular Lights on the Huang Pu River

by Icemaiden02 about The Bund

Many tourists only see The Bund during the day. However, for a truly remarkable view, take the underground subway or a taxi over to Pu Dong Waterfront at night, and view The Bund across the Huang Pu River. It is perfect for a romantic spot or for a family to huddle together and view the lights.

famous place for weddings

by machomikemd about Shanghai House Resto

with nice views of the Nanpu Bridge. this SHanghai House Restaurant is not only popular as a restaurant but also for chinese wedding celebration banquets (see my other shanghai tips to see it). the place was literally jampacked with people, again the dinner here was included in our private tour package. the meal consisted of assorted shanghai style goodies like the tofu noodle soup, some braised pork meat with innards, seafood clear soup and some shanghai spring rolls and some steamed kaylian leaves. we were so stuffed that I almost passed out eating (such gluttons heheheh!). my favorite is still the shanghai style spring rolls and the swewes pork innards with pork meat, very tasty and cholesterol laden hehehehe.

Nanjing Road

by iwys

Some people say this is the most important shopping street in all of China. It's certainly the main street in Shanghai. If you like crowded department stores, this is the place for you.

It runs, from west to east, across the heart of the city, all the way from People's Park down to the Bund.

*LOVE* this city

by truesally

"A new love blossomed in just 3 days..."

I came to Shanghai with my husband, who was on a business trip. We only had 3 days to get a look around; what a whirlwind affair I had, trying to pack as much sightseeing and fun as possible into that time.

The city is amazingly huge (maybe I'm just a small-town girl...) and, of course, I only saw a small piece of it. What I found, however, was a delightful mix of old & new, communist & capitalistic, traditional & contemporary.

We were lucky enough to be able to explore on our own and also with some locals (THANK YOU, Tony & Ketty :)). I'm desperately hoping I can go back this winter...
