Hello? Shanghai? Anybody Home?
-
Perhaps they just come to experience what a big city is like. For ordinary people, there might indeed not be much that's 'fun' in the traditional sense.
-
Shanghai offers such abundant resources to ordinary people. Just yesterday, I saw a parent comment that Shanghai is like a generous, tasteful, yet understated wealthy benefactor. They mentioned that their kids never want to leave the planetarium, museum, or aquarium, and that they visit weekly.
-
Putting other things aside, when my nieces and nephews visited Shanghai for a week during summer vacation, and I showed them around, they went back home determined to study hard and get into a university in Shanghai.
-
Any recommendations? I'm planning a trip to Shanghai soon.
-
Well, I mainly go for the shopping. When I get tired of Hangzhou's shopping scene, I go to Shanghai. When I'm done with Shanghai, I head to Nanjing. It's all about the 'city walk' for me. If I want to see natural scenery, I'd consider places like Xinjiang, Tibet, or the Northwest.
-
Me too! Count me in.
-
Isn't the point of travel to escape a place you're tired of, only to visit a place someone else is tired of?
-
It can't even compare to Nanjing or Hangzhou.
-
I like your comment! You might want to turn off your private messages.

Is three to four thousand [RMB] enough, excluding flights and accommodation? No Disney, no shopping – just for coffee, exhibitions, and musicals.
-
That might not be enough for musicals... tickets for shows at smaller theaters are already around 499 [RMB] these days.
-
All I can say is, after visiting Shanghai once, I found myself yearning for it even more.

I took my daughter to Shanghai once when she was in the 3rd grade. She's been talking about wanting to go back for years. She even pestered me to go during Chinese New Year. I'm planning to take her there for a short trip during the holiday next month.
