Famous temples are widely distributed and are the focus of tourists' favorite visits, but tourists should keep in mind four taboos when visiting temples to avoid disputes and unpleasantness. 1. Avoid inappropriate addressing. Monks and Taoists in temples should be called "teachers" or "wizards", and the monks in charge should be called "elders", "abbots" and "Zen masters". Monks in the Lama Temple call them "lamas", which means "guru". Avoid calling them "monks", "monks" or even other insulting names. Second, avoid improper manners. The common way to greet monks is to put your hands together and bow your head slightly, or put your hands on your chest vertically and your head slightly lower. Don't use inappropriate manners, such as shaking hands, hugging and touching the monk's head. Third, don't talk to monks and Taoists inappropriately. Don't mention the words killing, getting married and eating fishy meat, so as not to arouse the resentment of monks. Fourth, don't behave inappropriately. When visiting a temple, don't talk loudly, give directions, laugh at or walk around or fiddle with things in the temple. In particular, it is forbidden to touch and carve statues. In case of Buddhist activities, you should stand silently or leave quietly. At the same time, we should also take good care of our children so as not to do impolite things because of their ignorance. First, make a detailed travel plan. When making a plan, try to put adjacent scenic spots together for sightseeing and combine business and travel. For example, Lujiazui, Yaohan, Bund, City God Temple, People's Square, Nanjing Road, Longhua and Xujiahui. Considering the traffic jam and other factors, we should leave some room appropriately and don't arrange the itinerary too tightly. If you are a stranger to Shanghai, you may wish to arrange your trip to Shanghai according to your hobbies, time and economic conditions, and refer to the two itineraries recommended in this chapter. In addition to this book, the latest version of the map of Shanghai is an indispensable "good helper" for you in Shanghai. There are many kinds of maps in Shanghai, and the quality is uneven. Many maps are revised on the original map for one month at the beginning of each month, and the content has not changed at all, so they are printed and sold. When buying a map, please identify the map marked "Shanghai Quality Supervision Anti-counterfeiting Center". For self-help travelers, Map of Shanghai (200 1 edition) published by Shanghai Sanlian Bookstore is the most helpful one. Second, find a convenient place to stay. Shanghai has a large area and scattered scenic spots. It is common to spend more than 65,438+0 hours from one place to another. You must choose the main transportation hub to stay. The railway station, People's Square and Xujiahui area are located at the intersection of the two subways, which is of course the best choice. If the house price is too expensive, you can stay in holiday hotels in Luxun Park, Dabaishu, Wujiaochang, Cao Yang, caohejing and Meilong. The standard room prices in these places are between 120- 180 yuan. With the help of the express subway, you can get to the city center quickly. Third, use the special tourist line to travel to the suburbs or the provinces and cities around Shanghai. It's best to take a special tour line in Shanghai Stadium or hongkou football stadium. These special tourist lines connect the best scenic spots in a certain district (county) in series, with a fixed timetable, saving time, effort and money. Fourth, re-book, consult more, and make full use of Shanghai's developed communication system and Ctrip's perfect travel booking service. There are also tourist consultation service centers all over Shanghai, which can also provide you with services such as tourist consultation, selling tourist cards, booking theater tickets, football tickets, movie tickets and bus tickets. If you want to go to a famous restaurant, you must make a reservation 24 hours in advance, otherwise you will have to wait for a long time. KFC, McDonald's, Yonghe Soymilk, Xinya Dabao and other Chinese and Western fast food and home delivery services are all booked out. Tips for saving money when traveling in Shanghai: First of all, the market prices of standard rooms for three-star, two-star and one-star accommodation in Shanghai are about 350 yuan, 270 yuan and 220 yuan. Some hotels can enjoy a 50% discount when they check in after 12 in the afternoon (or 2: 00 in the morning), but they have to pay half a day's room charge when they check out after 12 in the afternoon (or 14 in the afternoon). Most hotels provide buffet breakfast free of charge and store luggage and valuables free of charge. Since most rooms are double rooms, if you have children, you can ask for an extra bed, usually around 20 yuan. Of course, booking a hotel in Ctrip is the most economical and labor-saving way. Second, it is recommended to have breakfast at the hotel where you are staying. Many hotels offer free breakfast buffet. At noon, you usually eat near tourist attractions. Try not to order dishes marked "current price". Ask the measuring unit. Many hotels only accept "two" and "one" customers. Dinner doesn't have to be eaten in a hotel, and the cost is high. There are many food streets in the main business district in the center of Shanghai, with good quality and low price and good service. The average per capita consumption is between 15-25 yuan. With Ctrip VIP card, special merchants in Shanghai can enjoy preferential treatment. Three. Traffic Shanghai Inner Ring Road (central city) has a circumference of 48km, a length of15km from east to west and a width of 8km from north to south. The outer ring highway (the built-up area of the main city) has a circumference of 65,438+000 kilometers and an area of 665,438+00 square kilometers, which is larger than the area of the Republic of Singapore. Take the distance of 10 km as an example, it takes about 20-25 minutes to take a taxi (as long as it is not in the downtown area with traffic jams), 25-30 yuan; It takes about 40-45 minutes by direct bus. 1-2 yuan; It takes about 45-60 minutes to transfer to 1 train, 2-4 yuan; The subway only takes 19 minutes, 3 yuan. Hours, in downtown Shanghai, try to take fewer taxis. Between Yuan and Yuan, most buses get one ticket to the end (except the lines starting with "5", "6", "8" and "9"), ordinary buses 1 Yuan (mostly unmanned), and air-conditioned cars are in 2 yuan. It can be seen that when traveling in Shanghai, subways and buses are the first choice, and the fewer taxis, the better. Of course, if 3-4 people travel together, short trips are still cost-effective. The most convenient and economical way to travel to the suburbs is to take the 10 tourist shuttle bus at Shanghai Stadium or hongkou football stadium Tourist Distribution Center.
