Shanghai is overall a pretty nice place. It is very convinient for eating, shopping, and recreational purposes, although getting to them is the hard part; the traffic is often quite awful, because the city is very crowded. However, getting the transportation is easy, there are thousands of taxis waiting to be of service, and if you're a bit ...

I stayed ten nights at the hilton in shanghai where the hotel was really nice and had good views from both the room and the roof top lounge. But the hotel was the most expensive place to eat!

Shanghai is the city of skyscrapers, where some of the skyscrapers already look dated with their UFO like tops. It's interesting to see the future of China, but there is little to interest the average tourist. For people who come just to shop or eat, you won't be disappointed although it clearly not as cheap as it used to be. And you get what you pay for. Those fake watches will probably break within 3 months. Bangkok is cheaper.

drivers don't stop for pedestrians, i like the chinese culture, way ahead of the Europeans and arrogant yankees and British.

Shanghai has trasnformed its whole outlook compared to my first trip there 13 years ago. The skyscrapper are simply fascinating and there are good food everywhere. If I have gone there during spring or autumn it might be more convenient as it was raining almost everyday and the weather was freezing. However, if the people there can stop spitting, it will improve the city's image.

it was fun riding the boats,the buildings are always tall,my friends are there too,the parks need money for every ride,except ca.

If you are young and want to have a good time, this is the place to be!!!!
