[quote=Anonymous]Use your hotel as a resource. They can book train tickets for you. I made a last minute decision to travel inland with a local friend and buying high speed train tickets would have been tricky with American passports but the concierge took care of it and the tickets were delivered to the hotel. Ask them for tips and help booking day trips to nearby "water towns."

My favorite restaurant during my recent trip was Shanghai Tang in the Xintiandi area. Loved the décor and the food was so good. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g308272-d10251864-Reviews-Shanghai_Tang-Shanghai.html

I echo pp about the ease of taking the metro. Best way to get across town.

I've been to Shanghai several times over the years and always felt safe. You do have to use common sense for a big city, but overall I never felt unsafe. On my recent trip though, I noticed that electric mopeds were everywhere, even on sidewalks. They're quiet so you don't hear them approaching, and they can be a nuisance. I was standing on a street corner once waiting to cross and a moped zip past and bumped my hip with its boxy cargo on back. So always be alert, and avoid standing on street corner ramps where they exit.
