Pudong Travel Guide

 crewrower Says:  Of course the Grand Hyatt in the JinmoaoTower is a very nice hotel. However, maybe because the lobby is on the 54th floor (rather than the entrance on the 1st floor), and because one must take so many elevators to get from place to place within the hotel, I find the hotel... 

 crewrower Says:  This is the best place I know of for comfort food in Shanghai, and they have a branch in Pudong! The menu includes all the diner favorites: all day breakfasts, burgers, grilled cheese, ice cream and pies, and lots of other items like taco salad, petc. Entrees range between... 

 crewrower Says:  This is an enjoyable restaurant and bar. Nice atmosphere, REAL German beer. I usually go just for the beer and get snacks like fries and pretzels. The food is not great value for money, but the beer is - ESPECIALLY if you for the happy hour from 4-7pm. Beers are half price... 

 crewrower Says:  If you are visiting the Jinmao Tower and hungry, you may want to try one of the various restaurants on the "B1" level. One section is a Chinese cafeteria style where you select your meats and veggies from among various choices. The bowls/containers are color coded to... 

 crewrower Says:  Itoya has at least 10 stores scattered around Shanghai, but this is the only one I know of in Pudong. If you're in the mood for Japanese, you should try this place after a visit to the Jinmao Tower or Pearl Tower. The food is authentic and presented nicely. Set meals include... 

 crewrower Says:  This is a good place to go if you want a sandwhich, pasta or salad. Most entrees are about 40 RMB. They also have smoothies and deserts. The cheesecake is quite good. Because it's a cafe, the setting is laid back and relaxing. You can stop in just for a drink or smoothie, or... 

 crewrower Says:  This is a good place to go for authentic and upscale Shanghaiese food. There are a lot of exotic items on the menu (from a Western's standpoint), i.e. you can order one chicken's foot for each diner, and everyone will have it served in gravy on a full sized plate. This might...

 crewrower Says:  Even if you're staying in Puxi during your visit to Shanghai, it's easy to get to Pudong by taking the #2 metro line. If you have some extra time in Shanghai, you might find it interestd to take a subway ride out to either Dong Chang Rd. or Wei Fang Rd, or even deeper into...

 crewrower Says:  The name shang hai means on the sea . However, few tourists ever see the sea for themselves when in Shanghai. One way to see it is to play at one of the posh golf clubs along the ocean (i.e. bin hai golf club, and others). There is no beach or defined recreational points... 

 crewrower Says:  I came across this catholic cathedral while riding my bike in Pudong. It was a really pleasant discovery because I wasn't expecting it to be there (it is located about halfway between the Lujiazui district in Pudong and the Pudong airport, i.e. really off the tourist...
