Explore beyond the Bund
For a different and often less crowded view of the skyline, go to the North Bund or South Bund. They offer equally spectacular perspectives.
Discover the 'Wet' Markets
For an authentic local experience, visit a neighborhood market in the morning. You will see locals buying fresh vegetables, meat and all kinds of products. It is a feast for the senses.
Tip is not necessary
Tips are not expected in restaurants, taxis or services. In some very high-end hotels or restaurants it may be included in the bill.
Haggling is an Art, not a War
In markets, haggling is an expected practice and part of the interaction. Do it with a smile. In stores, supermarkets or restaurants, prices are fixed.
Don't drink tap water
Always drink bottled water. It is cheap and sold everywhere. Use tap water only for showering or brushing your teeth if you are not very sensitive.
Bring Toilet Paper and Disinfectant
Many public bathrooms, especially outside shopping malls or hotels, do not have toilet paper or soap. It's a good idea to always carry a pack of tissues and hand sanitizer.
The 'Tea Room' Scam
Friendly-looking young people (often 'art students') invite you to a tea ceremony or to a gallery to practice English. You will end up with an astronomical bill. Politely decline any invitation from strangers.
Fake Taxis and 'Fast' Taximeters
Always use official taxis and make sure they have a meter. At the airport, ignore those who approach you and go to the official line. It is better to use apps like DiDi (Chinese version of Uber).
