Shanghai to-do when friends are visiting.

Caroline .C: Pretty cheap prices. Wouldn't recommend the place if you don't at least know the basic mandarin for asking price, bargaining, etc. Beware of fakes and reject/failed items, check before you buy!

Tom Thai: Lowest price you can get on a men's dress shirt is 80RMB (they'll start you at 120RMB). Lowest on a 2-piece suit is 450RMB (they'll start you at 600RMB or more).

The Thirsty Pig: The Vue Restaurants has probably the best views in Shanghai

Jeremy Le Van: Super touristy, but the garden can be nice. Get lost on the streets right outside of Yu garden, much more typical.

Shanghai Hunter: The cutest part of Shanghai if you are looking for a retreat, walking under the trees, chilling at a coffee shop terrasse, or looking for a gallery and during the night a fancy place to go out.

The Ritz-Carlton: Enjoy the Jade Buddha Temple like a local and buy some spirit money that you can burn for good luck.

Ricky Su: One of the Shanghai icon. Check out the dumplings at Lue Bo Lang (3 floors serve diff taste and price ones). Ning Bo Tang Tuan nearby is also good taste.

Pepe Moder: Take a rest in this peaceful oasis (Fee admittance)

Sarah Yana Akib: An amazing temple, not many tourist at all. Used to be the temple for seamen praying before going to sea. Take subway line no 4 exit Dalian Road gate 3.

naveen: a maze of shops, for when you're feeling touristy and just want to be entertained

Bart van de Kooij: Go to Red Town. It's brilliant creative park with a lot galleries and designstores.

Travel + Leisure: Discover posters and other relics from the Mao era.

Travel + Leisure: Moganshan Road, Shanghai’s version of SoHo, New York, is a warren of warehouses turned galleries. Among the best: ShanghArt, the avant-garde OV Gallery, and photography-driven M97 Gallery.

Arthur Carl: Bund also called Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu is regarded as the symbol of Shanghai, and "Museum of International Architecture" by its buildings.

Aurélie M: Wonderful place to spend a good time and eat :)

Shanghai Hunter: Most of the feiyue shoes are under 100 yuans. Real, original, many colors,...(Check reviews, wechat: shanghai_hunter and facebook)

Dave: Famous for xiaolongxia lobsters and things on a stick....

Ricky Su: The nearest ancient town of Shanghai. See the old houses and try the traditional foods there.

Shanghai Hunter: Free, Quite big but too renovated to look authentic. On line 8 "Shendu Highway".

naveen: as you walk the streets looking at an avalanche of 'antique' things, it makes you wonder where all this stuff came from! the old cameras and maps are the most interesting finds; heavy with history

Shanghai Hunter: Pets (mostly birds and fish), insects (mostly crickets) and some plants. A nice but small place to go. Don't forget to visit the antique market in Dongtai road too.

Gene Kam: A lot of good restaurants here and a very nice environment to walk around after, good place to bring a date =p

Ricky Su: Fashion place with bars and good restaurants. A must go place of Shanghai.

Shanghai Hunter: Very beautiful and renovated temple in the middle of Shanghai. Not really interesting in a cultural way but a quick visit can be nice.(Check reviews, wechat: shanghai_hunter and facebook)

Shanghai Hunter: Come here just to have a taste of the modern city center of Shanghai.(Check reviews, wechat: shanghai_hunter and facebook)

Ricardo Aburto Pacheco: All tickets are very similar, don't need to buy the more expensive one.
