Shanghai... Yeah, NOT the Place for a Last-Minute Whim 🥲🥲

[Sally Breitenberg]

Hey everyone! Before the summer break is over, I ventured to Shanghai for a little adventure. Now that I'm back, I feel like I need to share my heartfelt experiences with you all!

• Indeed, Shanghai is an international metropolis, and going for a "trip on a whim" (just picking up your bag and heading out without any planning) sounds quite chic......
  • However, mark this down! If you head off to Shanghai unprepared, it can give you quite a headache!
    • Why? Because it's just so vast, with numerous interesting spots, that not doing some planning makes it easy to run into trouble or waste time. (By "running into trouble," I mean encountering unexpected issues or unpleasant experiences.)
• This trip was packed with unforeseen minor hiccups, these painful lessons that I now pass down to those who are about to go. I hope these valuable insights will help you make better plans for a smoother experience.
• I sincerely wish these tips of mine can save you the unnecessary detours, so that you can enjoy your travels more fully! Have a wonderful journey!

If you're visiting Shanghai for the Mid-Autumn Festival or a weekend, feel free to consider staying at my place. I'll be out of town for the festival, so the house will be empty.

Anyone looking for a travel buddy for the National Day holiday? Happy to go Dutch (AA style) and flexible on destination. Just don't want to be alone!

Which dates?

Hey everyone, I'm heading to Shanghai in three days. Is it still warm enough for short sleeves there?

[Antoinette Ferry]

Yes, it is.

[Rosemarie Sawayn PhD]

Excuse me, is the Postal Museum open now? I heard it might not reopen until October.

[Antoinette Ferry]

Oh, it's not open. I just went there yesterday.

[Marion Barrows]

Four-day trip, Oct 9th-12th.

Me! Me! Me!

Planning to visit during the National Day holiday. Any recommendations for attractions, especially those that require advance booking?

[Johnathan Schmeler]

Same question here.

[Marion Barrows]

Just arrived in Shanghai! Anyone up for a two-day trip on the 3rd and 4th? Preferably another solo traveler who's also a student.

[Mr. Jody Bednar]

Hey, wanna go to Disneyland together on the 4th? I was born in '08.

Is Zhier (the second-hand store) worth checking out?
