With details concerning major attractions, off-the-beaten-track spots, drinking & nightlife venues, & restaurants & hotels/hostels from all over the city, Panda Guides Shanghai is the most complete guide of its kind. Written by a team of expats who live in & know China`s roaring financial capital, our Shanghai title is the first guidebook of its kind to offer local discounts to readers, as well as an opportunity to win a free trip through China by purchasing the book. Apart from all the money readers can save by following the Panda, this edition of Shanghai also comes with a pullout map of the city, while individual maps can be found inside for key tourist attractions, & mini-maps are provided for every local business (hotels, hostels, bars, & restaurants) that show all major cross streets & the nearest subway station (s). What`s more, we`ve made the travel experience even easier by placing each attraction`s vital info (i.e. transportation details, opening hours, admission, phone number, website, etc.) in clearly marked orange boxes at the beginning of every listing. This volume is also packed with sample itineraries, a Mandarin phrasebook, a user-friendly index, sections on culture, history, art, music, & movies, full-color pictures (to give you an engrossing feel of a destination before the reader even goes) & much more! Plus, the Hot Topics section will reveal what life on the ground is like with coverage of fascinating themes such as Air Pollution, Food & Water Safety, Traveling with Kids, Scams, Travel, Culture Shock, Taboo & Etiquette & others. For all this & more, Panda Guides Shanghai isn`t just a guide, it`s an experience.
