Shanghai Surprised

Pros: Cheap hotels, food, booze, and products. Great cuisine. Cons: Polluted, crowded, hordes of tourists, bratty ex-pats, not many sights.

Pros: Cheap, faux brand names of satisfactory quality Cons: Crowded, dirty, sometimes unfriendly merchants
Everyone has heard of the huge market in China for faux brand name goods, but where do you find them? I never saw them in the fancy department stores or even in tourist areas, but luckily I had contacts with locals who provided me with the locations of...
Pros: Ohel Moishe Synagogue if you are into Jewish things, then the typical sights of Shanghai. Cons: Too much to see in one day, plan to stay 3 or 4 days.
I have been teaching in China nearly a year now and as a gift I was given a free trip to 5 cities in 5 days. It was with a Chinese tour group and no one spoke English not even the tour guides. Needless to say by the fourth day of this whirlwind tour I ...
Pros: Absolutely stunning views, fabulous rooms, incredible staff Cons: Not good if you have vertigo!
If you are interested in architecture or if you don’t like stuffy hotels, you should definitely stay at the Grand Hyatt in Shanghai. And even if the hotel is slightly out of your price range, at least go there for a drink in the Cloud 9 cocktail bar, on...

Pros: Modern, big population, convenient Cons: A bit too noisy and crowded, even to Chinese
Shanghai, to my opinions, is a modern image of China. If you want to feel the fastest pulse of China, if you want to see how old culture disappears into modern ideas, if you want to see the sharp comparison of old times to modern days, if you want to...
Pros: Great modern architecture, vibrant city, reasonable shopping Cons: smog smog smog!

Shanghai is such a city of contrasts! One day you can go out and marvel at the new city that is rising up around you. Buildings are being constructed of glass, steel and concrete but they seem to float above the horizon. When I finally...
Pros: Can be very exciting. Cons: Projectile-spitting.
Shanghai is really 2 cities: New Shanghai, and Old Shanghai. New Shanghai is very, very commercial. Very bourgeois. Lots of nouveau riche strolling around in expensive clothes. Expensive malls, Italian food, Starbucks, sushi - basically New York in...
