[quote=Anonymous]I was in Shanghai for about 10 days in 2011--so it's possible my advice is a little outdated.  My brother was living there for work and I went to visit him.

Regarding Taxis:  I actually preferred to take the metro.  The metro is VERY safe and convenient--and cheap!  You have to put your bag/purse on a scanner before entering the metro.   I also liked it because I preferred to not interact with strangers as much as possible--it was actually easier to do this on the metro.

Google "tea ceremony scam" and be wary of it.  I was targeted outside the Shanghai museum (luckily I didn't fall for it.)

I really enjoyed walking around Century Park (it was a short walk from my brother's apartment) and also going to the observation deck at the World Financial center building--at the time it was the tallest building in Shanghai but I think it has since been surpassed.

I remember before my trip, I asked some questions and PenguinSix gave me some great advice...has PenguinSix been around lately?
