Sun Inn Shanghai (Jinqiao)

Packing List

by Sharrie

Not necessary since you can buy them (unlimited choices!) here. Awesome shopping experience! One of the very best in this world!!! & trust me, I've been to many! Lots of films though one can get them here as well. But, look at the number of photos I took, they are never enough of them!

If you use digital camera, bring as many cards as you can. I use a Sony, so it's memory sticks. They are v. expensive in Shanghai. Lots of RMB or US$. Credit cards are acceptable in most major departmental stores.

This city is a shoppers' paradise :)

Railway station

by yumyum

This is the main railway station. If you depart for Hongkong, then you go through customs and immigration here. The entrance is to the left as you stand in front of the building. If you want to buy something for the train, be sure to do so before you enter as there is nothing inside. There are plenty of little shops left and right of the railway station, yes, they sell toilet paper too.

Shopping in Shanghai

by maria_hz

Shanghai reputedly has the best shopping facilities on mainland China, and at least the most famous ones. Nanjing Road is *the* shopping street in China. It first became famous for its shops in the early part of the 1900s, and still retains the status. However, Nanjing Road is a fairly short stretch and prices may be a bit higher than elsewhere. I still like the Nanjing Road stretch for shopping as it is nice and compact and at the end of it, there is the Bund and the river :).

Huai hai Road is long and you will find almost anything on earth here. The eastern end features up-market shops and shopping centres, such as Lane Crawford housing Gucci, Boss, and Armani and further down, you can pop in to have a look at a Ferrari, should you like to buy one or just admire the sleek designs. Towards west, the prices go down, and the shopping centres cater for medium budget consumers.

For those of you who have heard of the huge Xiangyang market at the lower end of Huaihai Road, I am sorry to say that it closed at the end of June 2006 to give way for new developments.

Yuyuan gardens (chinese: ~{T%T0~})

by sunnywong

Located in the southern section of Shanghai, Yu Yuan is one of the famous ancient gardens south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Yu Yuan was formerly a private garden built four hundred years ago. This design of the garden was modeled on the imperial garden in Beijing. It covers an area of 20 thousand square meters with an excellent view of man-made rockery hills, terraces and pavilions.

Duo Lun Road- the historic Street

by conniechong

"Shi Ku Men or Stone Gate"

Not many people are now living inside this type of houses which blended features of east and west. There are now hardly be found in the city of Shanghai. Stone gates in Xintiandi are too well modified into commercial outlook, wasted.. Most original Stone Gate besides buildings at The Bund, I can however locate at this moment namely Duo Lun road, Tai Kang road and no. 76 Xing Yue road.

"At Duo Lun West Road"

An old well preserved "apartment".

"Inside Kaola Inn"

"The Monument of Street of famous people"

"Church at Duo Lun Road"

An old gate leads to many houses or apartment
