Shanghai Travel: Dodge the Tourist Traps!
-
I was shocked to find even a small City God Temple charges an entrance fee. I guess I'm just used to temples in Guangdong being free.
-
Eating dog meat in Guangdong is free too.
-
Seeing how upset you are, I bet you've never paid the 60 yuan for a ticket to the Great World amusement park.
-
I'm really curious what the Great World is like inside.
-
Otherwise, how else do you think Shanghai got so rich all of a sudden?!
-
You're overthinking it.
-
I'm not Buddhist and not really into temples, but before the New Year, a retired propaganda official from Fujian visited our company and wanted to check it out, so I went with him. And guess what? I ran into one of my favorite professional gamers inside! All I can say is, you never know with these things.
-
Huh? Maxixi went to Jing'an Temple?
-
You really need to do your research before traveling anywhere. Any local Shanghainese will tell you to skip Jing'an Temple, the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel, and the snacks from big shops inside Yu Garden. It's probably best to avoid Wukang Mansion too.

Wukang Mansion... every time friends from out of town want to go, I dread accompanying them. It was never a tourist spot before, nothing much to see. But now, for tourists, it's suddenly a 'must-see' attraction.
