Next year, by the Olympic Games, I want to be there and watch them alive . I want to taste and try to understand an old civilization and a huge country and people(more than 1,3 billion peoples! Can you imagine? All of them need to work, has hungry or thirsty). How long could be a traffic jam in Shanghai? How expensive will be Shanghai usually and during the Olympic games?I would like to reveal now facts from the history of Shanghai.

Shanghai (Chinese: Pnyin: Shànghai; ), situated on the banks of the Yangtze River Delta in the eastern China, is the largest city of the People’s Republic of China and the eighth largest in the world. Widely regarded as the citadel of China’s modern economy, the city also serves as one of the nation’s most important cultural, commercial, financial, industrial and communications centers. Administratively, Shanghai is a municipality of the People’s Republic of China that has province level status. Shanghai is also one of the world’s busiest ports, and became the largest cargo port in the world in 2005.

Originally a fishing town, Shanghai became China’s most important city by the twentieth century and was the center of popular culture, intellectual discourse and political intrigue during the republican era. After the communist takeover in 1949, Shanghai languished due to heavy central government taxation and cessation of foreign investment, and had many of its supposedly “bourgeois” elements purged. Following the central government’s authorization of market economic redevelopment of Shanghai in 1992, Shanghai has now surpassed early-starters Shenzen and Guanzhou, and has since led China’s economic growth. Some challenges remain for Shanghai at the beginning of the 21st century, as the city struggles to cope with increased worker migration, a huge wealth gap, and environmental degradation. Despite these challenges, Shanghai’s skyscrapers and modern lifestyle are often seen as representing China’s recent development.

The city itself is a barrage of colors, sounds and, above all, motion. Nothing seems to stay still in this city, not even the shops. As the largest financial and commercial center in the country, the city seems to be expanding exponentially. It’s a bit strange to find such rapid growth in what was once a fiercely communist area – but that’s just the name of the game in Shanghai China. The Pudong New Area is an important special economic zone in China – as the most prosperous business locations in China, Shanghai leads all the others in both retail and exports. Larger than the rest of Shanghai combined, what used to be acres of boggy farmland now dominates the city.

That’s not to say the city hasn’t embraced tourism. Shanghai China has a mild climate year round, has practical beaches within its city limits and features a number of popular holydays, including the Longhua Temple Bell Striking, the Longhua Temple Fair, the Nanhui County Peach Blossom Festival, the International Tea Culture Festival, the Orange Festival – even the Shanghai Tourism festival.

A busy city indeed, fifteen million people call it home! Add the permanent crowds of tourists, at least two millions daily. As a tourist, can do, watch and live a lot in Shanghai.

Suggested Itinerary for Shanghai

1-3 Days

Though the list of tourist spots seems a bit lacking when spread out in print, it is almost a guarantee that you will spend more time in Shanghai than you planned for. The Bund is Shanghai’s most famous landmark, a monument to glitter and finance and a definite inclusion onto any China trip itinerary. The central district is where many tourists prefer to spend most of their time – at least a day or two is necessary to explore this part of town, which specializes in one thing: shopping. Fighting the crowds of pedestrian-only traffic can be exhausting after a few hours, though, which is why it is best to split the section into multiple days, if only to retain your sanity. Another day can be spent in the Jade Buddha Temple and the Shanghai museum.

Mansions, plazas, palaces – you’ll find these plastered all over the names of many Shanghai Hotels. The Peace Palace, Shangri-La, the usual offerings from the Ritz-Carlton, the Hilton, the Hyatt. Booking a hotel in Shanghai China can be an expensive endeavor, not to mention one fraught with possible problems – if you are looking for any kind of the precious few budget Shanghai Hotels, historically it’s a good idea to plan out your trip well in advance. Especially in the summer and near the Chinese New Year, these hotels will fill up at a disturbingly rapid pace.

If you want to stay for cheap near the People’s Square, there’s the YMCA Hotel, which isn’t nearly as bad as it sounds. Sure, it’s just a big dormitory, but it’s clean and cheap and the location is one of the best of all the budget hotels in Shanghai. Another quality establishment is the Pujiang Hotel, a short walk away from The Bund, and about half the price of even some of the other cheap hotels in Shanghai. You’d never know it from the look of the place, though. Spacious, stylish – the Pujiang is a wonderful value in a city where they can be hard to find sometimes.

Speaking of The Bund, it is the nearby area where you will find the glut of Shanghai hotels. You’ll find the Metropole Hotel, a throwback to colonial British times, complete with a basement pub and the English flag inside. The Jinchen Hotel and Xinya Dajiudian are a couple of the other mid-range hotels in Shanghai located nearby, with the latter being well-known for it’s thirties-era style and charm. But barring a little bit of haggling with the hotel manager, the prices of hotels just go up and up. Almost all of the hotels in Shanghai are top-end or nearly so, even if renovations have culled the character from many of the old style mansions and palaces. But there are plenty to choose from littered throughout the entire city, so it’s not like you’ll be without options. The Peace Hotel is by far the most famous and well-loved of any hotel in the city. Ascending from The Bund itself, its mere location should give you a pretty big hint as to the grandeur and grace with which this hotel is imbued with. What was once the offices of one of the richest men in Shanghai, now anyone (for the right price) can see the old-time luxury that remains in the twelve story hotel. Another Shanghai hotel that specializes in preserving history is the Ruijin Guesthouse – a series of aging mansions that feel like stepping into a time warp.

If you care less about history and more about luxury, the Portman Ritz-Carlton is considered by many to be one of the finest hotels in Shanghai. Located in Shanghai Center, it’s hard to beat the location, either. The Crowne-Plaza Shanghai is similar in many ways, though it has a fewer deluxe accommodations for a similar price.
