If you want to have a wonderful trip in the international metropolis of Shanghai and save time and money, you must make a good travel guide in advance, so that you will not have fun without enjoying yourself, eat well, and be bitter and tired. Below I will talk about how to operate from the aspects of food, housing and transportation.
First of all, in terms of food, people go out to travel in order to feel the local cultural customs, rather than blindly pursuing high-end food, so Shanghai local snacks are a very good choice. Try not to go to restaurants in large shopping malls or garden houses, because the price of vegetables in this restaurant will be higher due to the rent pressure of Shanghai's land. In addition to local snacks, you can also choose to look at the comments of netizens on some group buying websites to choose some restaurants with good reputation and moderate prices.
the second is the accommodation plan. Once the itinerary is determined, you can book a room in advance. Now that the network is developed, it is very convenient to book a room directly online. If you have enough time to book in advance, you can choose some hotels or homestays that have a good reputation and are doing preferential rewards.
finally, it is also the most important aspect of planning. Once you confirm the start and end time of the tour, you can grab the ticket immediately. Airplanes, in particular, can sometimes get special fares. In addition, in a big city like Shanghai, taking the subway is sometimes faster and cheaper than other means of transportation. Tourist attractions are also planned according to their own time. Attractions like Shanghai Museum can be included in the itinerary, not only free tickets, but also a sense of Shanghai's historical and cultural heritage. Other paid attractions can also be booked in advance on websites such as Meituan or Taobao, and occasionally some special tickets will flow out.
Shanghai, a city called the Magic Capital, is well worth visiting. If you seriously implement the above travel strategy, I believe everyone will have a beautiful journey that saves time and money.
