Shanghai is one of the most popular travel destinations. Ask any tourist who is planning to come to China and he will mention this city as a «must visit». It is full of ancient buildings with Chinese culture, traditional restaurants, and awesome events, but also it’s a modern center of China where you can find any brand of apparel, modern cinemas, and luxury hotels. There is no doubt that Shanghai creates many emotions and impressions, that’s why each year there are about 300 millions of tourists here.
Shanghai has become a popular place for many people to move to. Good level of salaries, different companies, financial centers, and friendly people… All these things make Shanghai look very nice to those who want to leave their country and start a new life in another one, or even for those who just want to earn money and come to Shanghai for some months.
But imagine… When a city has so many things to offer, how can it be possible to understand what to choose? Which restaurants would be better for you? Which hairstylist is the best? Which hotels are the most comfortable? How to get a taxi? Where to read the news? Where to find a party not so far from home? Where to go if you have mental issues? You can search for hours to find the information. But we decided to help you 🙂 Here are 99 links that will make your life in Shanghai definitely better. Enjoy!
