Shanghai Royal Court Hotel

bund museum

by Audrey118

The bund museum is under the obelisk - lots of pictures of old colonial museum and early days of the Bund. It is here I found that the rich tycoons who build all those glorious buildings were big time drug lords!!!

Bars and Nightclubs Guide...

Bars and Nightclubs Guide Libra
Two floors of local teahouse, wooden floors, wooden furniture, the usual style---only Libra stands out somehow. It might be the friendy staff, the semi shambolic feel to the place or the fact that it makes the perfect place for the last stop on a pub crawl of Heng Shan Lu.

Malone's
Their long-time manager left last month and a new one has come in. Should still pull in the regular crowd of people in search of some drinks or new friends. Live bands play regularly. Sports on the TV always.

Mandy's
Right next door to Sasha's. They've done a great job with this place. Great bar inside, great patio outside. Should do well, especially when the kitchen upstairs opens. Until the kitchen dose open, they're doing a great BBQ from 6:30-10:30 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays with a live band, Viola, playing. Friday is Ladies Night with one free drink to the lucky ladies.

Manhattan Bar

Belly Dancers Included

by MaosRedArmy about Turkish Taste

Turkish Taste is located downstairs in a small "mall" on Huahai Rd. (a must see activity for Shoppers).

Diners can choose from a la carte menu or from the all you can eat buffet, which is a great deal. A wide variety of food on the buffet will provide you with more options than you will need.

I prefer the ala carte menu - and the Donner Kebab more precisely. I also love Turkish Taste's appetizers - especially if there are 4 or more people in the partty (more to share !). I have tried almost all of them and I have not had a bad one yet.

The hummus is great, as is the bread you are served before the meal.

Also, if you want to see Chinese Belly Dancers dancing to traditional belly dancer music, make sure you show up at 7:30pm - when the first show begins. Just be careful one of the dancers doesn't make you part of her act ! Donner Kebab.

Nanjing Road

by sunnywong

Flanked on both sides by famed shopping centers, department stores, specialty stores, exotic restaurants and cultural and recreational facilities, the 5-km-long Nanjing Road is the most sophisticated shopping and tourist complex in Shanghai.

Feeling about a real Shanghai away from modern...

"Forget the skyscrapters of Shanghai"

The local streets are more lovely and lively.

"old style appartments"

"Garden of Yuyuan"

It's one of the most beautiful gardens that I ever seen. It represented the lifestyle of Chinese nobles of hundred years ago.The stones, pool, plants, artcrafts and architectures are very well designed and set up in a great sense. I felt I was touching the ancient lifestyle which existed at every corner and smelling it.
It's adoreable and attractive.
