Best of Shanghai on a Budget
Description:
Staying at the Ritz is nice, but not if it bankrupts you. Check out these cheaper options that are still centrally located and offer convenience of movement. Next, try the local cuisine, which is cheaper and, as they say, "When in Rome, do as the Romans!" Finally, spend your day checking out Shanghai's history and culture with a visit to the affordable Urban Planning Hall and Shanghai Museum. Walk around People's Square for free and wake up early to do morning Tai Chi with the locals. A day trip to Hangzhou is cheap, at once there you can walk around the lake for the entire day without spending a yuan. Finally, have an afternoon drink at Mao, where for 100RMB its open bar.
