We visited Shanghai in March 2006 to for a business/pleasure trip attend the East China Fair, and to see the sites in and around Shanghai. We had a most productive visit and a wonderful time. Our stay was made all the better for 3 main reasons =

1. We hired an interpreter/guide for the entire visit. She met us at the airport, arranged taxi travel to our hotel and basically made sure everything we needed was taken care of.
We found her by placing an AD online. The cost was very reasonable and the service she provided was even better.

2. Through our interpreter we also hired a car & driver for the week. This made traveling around the city and to our factory visits very easy.

3. We stayed at a 1st Class hotel. The Shanghai Rennisance. The hotel staff spoke English and the accomedations and restaurants were all very nice.

We look forward to returning to China again next year.

The Yuyuan Garden and Bazaar area is a tourist and foodies paradise, a maze of paved streets with a courtyard feel, hemmed in by newly-built old-style buildings and an almost 50/50 ratio of foreign and domestic tourists. Originally it was part of the old city of Shanghai, bits and pieces of which remain scattered in this area in narrow, hanging-laundry crossed alleys. I would suggest a walk through them for anyone who has the time and inclination to find them out.

The Bazaar is nevertheless worthy of exploration if only to try the fattening array of snacks on offer. We tried the tasty soup dumplings half for the fun of sucking the meaty “soup” through a straw. Sweet and savoury delights abound between souvenir shops and high priced restaurants. An eager shop owner whose shop we stopped at to admire the silk clothing was desperate for us to buy, reducing a nightgown by several hundred RMB from her first offer to around 50. Bargaining, at least outside of the peak season, should be relatively easy for those looking to buy – don’t be afraid to try it – and if you walk away there’s a good chance the vendor will come after you.
