More expensive than other Chinese cities, but affordable compared to Western metropolises. Accommodation and dinners in exclusive areas are the main expenses.

Available in many public spaces, but often requires a Chinese phone number to receive an access code, making it impractical for tourists. Cafes and shopping centers often offer free Wi-Fi.
Buying a local SIM (China Unicom or China Mobile) is easy at the airport or in official stores (passport required). Essential for using maps and translation apps. Remember that you will need a VPN to access Western services.

The metro system is possibly the best in the world: extensive, modern, clean, efficient and very cheap. It is the best way to get around the city.
For a different and often less crowded view of the skyline, go to the North Bund or South Bund. They offer equally spectacular perspectives.
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.
Tips are not expected in restaurants, taxis or services. In some very high-end hotels or restaurants it may be included in the bill.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
