1. Do
print out taxi cards of your destinations from ShanghaiMetro.com before
departing for Shanghai.
Most cab drivers do not understand English.
2. Print
out a copy of Shanghai subway map from ExploreShanghai.com. Shanghai subway is
fast and cheap and gets you to major tourist places within the city in less
than 30 minutes.
3. Whether
travelling for pleasure or for business, I suggest that you find a hotel along
metro line 2. This subway line is the bloodline of Shanghai
connecting Pudong Airport to Hongqiao Railway Station and Hongqiao Airport.
This line also directly passes through major tourist hotspots like People’s
Square, East Nanjing Road and Luijiazui Pudong. Renaissance
Zhongshan Park Shanghai is a good choice.
4. Avoid
subway ticket lines by purchasing a Shanghai transport card for RMB100.00 (USD16.00)
plus RM20.00 (USD3.00) deposit. This is available in service centers in subway
stations. The Shanghai transport card brings convenience, it can be used in
subways, taxis and public ferries. Before you leave Shanghai, make sure to
request for a refund in Jiangsu metro line station 2 before 4:00pm.
5. The
lights in the Bund and Pudong city skyline are only lit up from 7pm to 10pm,
make sure to plan your itinerary accordingly.
6. When
in China, the key is to INDULGE in hotels. Book executive rooms wherever
possible. If you know where to snag the best deals, your executive room in an
international chain hotel in Shanghai
China may cost just about the same as a standard cramped room of a local
hotel in Hong Kong or Singapore. I
always get the best hotel deals from hotelscombined.
