I'm trying to pack light and I'm wondering if there is a need for a mosquito net in Shanghai in late January?
Dear ,
No need !! They are not so strong to be alive in winter :))
as my experience, no mosquitos in winter. I am now living in Pudong, shanghai.
I have never been so cold as one winter when I was in Shanghai. So no you'll not need any mosquito net / repelent or anything like that. You would be wiser to have warm clothing (thermals, hat, gloves etc).
Hope you enjoy your visit!
Definitely no.
These construction workers where putting up their scaffolding. I don't know if the hardhats they are using would meet OSHA regulations here in America! They probably work just as well though! And the bamboo scaffolding is probably as any steel scaffolding in the west!
Getting to Shanghai from anywhere in the country or even the world is proving easier and easier by the day. All these long hual flights from London or New York sound great, but what about for those of us who live in China and want to make a quick trip down or up to Shanghai for the weekend perhaps?
Well, Im starting up on the deals pages a new thing....i will check the daily flights to shanghai from Beijing to begin with and if anyone else is interested in flights from other cities to Shanghai, I will find out those too! So check out the deals pages under China for more up to date information!

BASICALLY ITS LOCAL PEOPLE WHO SHOW VISITORS AROUND THE CITY'S COOL LOCAL SPOTS.
ITS A MORE AUTENTIC EXPERIENCE OF THE CITY AND THE IDEA IS TO MAKE TOURISTS FEEL LOCALS.
LOTS OF FUN, VERY RELAXED PEACE AND REASONABLE PRICES.

Yu Garden was built by Pan Yunduan, a local official between 1559 and 1577. It remains one of southern China's best preserved private classical gardens. Encased in a steaming dragon wall, the layout is a 2-hectare (5-acre) maze of arched bridges, rockeries, goldfish pond and dozens of Ming Dynasty pavilions. The entrance to the garden is on the northside of the Teahouse pond in the heart of YuYuan bazaar. Just inside the main gate is the Grand Rockery-a Ming Dynasty masterpiece of stone sculpture in the form of a mountain 14m high. All the corridors and pavillions , bridges and walls, sculptures and trees and are so artfully arranged that the garden seems many times larger than its actual compact size. There are gardens within gardens, each one attended by graceful pavilions and most visitors quickly get lost, but there are exit signs at major intersections. The bazaar is full of souvenirs for tourists and haggling is fun. The garden itself is open daily 8.30am-5pm. Simply unmissable.

I'm not sure there's much I could say about Shanghai that would be much different than any of the guidebooks. It really is a crazy city, with lots to see and do. With regards to museums and cultural sites you're better off in Beijing, but if you're looking for a metropolitan city with tons of foreigners than Shanghai is the place to go.
First off, don't think that Shanghai is at all indicative of the rest of China, or you'll be in for a rude awakening. It's much cleaner and easier to get around in than other Chinese cities I was in (love the subway!). Plus, it's not that Chinese and never was historically. You can actually get decent western food there (but you'll pay a fortune compared to an average meal in China). The clubs are fantastic and definitely worth checking out, you'll feel like a total scrub next to some of the decked-out Shanghai glitterati there. Beware though - the city can really eat your money, everything is much more expensive.
Something worth checking out is Sun Yatsen's house, the tour guides there are really knowlegable and there's lots of historical information there if you're into that. Shanghai also boasts all kinds of old european architecture from the turn of the century - really beautiful.
I also really liked the cruise on the Huangpu river. You get a great view of the Bund at night.
If you get a chance, go to the top of the Jin Mao tower, the 3rd tallest building in the world (was the fourth...). I just hope they've taken down the banners of the world's tallest buildings in the lobby, the one of the Twin Towers was pretty ghastly in October of 2001 and not what you want to see before going to the top.
