I'm going to shanghai next week for 4 days and was wondering if any of you know the place. I will be visiting an exhibition for 2 of the days and thats in Hongqaio.

But I would rather stay somewhere lively and taxi it to the show. How is the Bund? Somewhere like Nana or Silom in bangkok, but not to much like Khao san.

Cheers...

I was there in 1948 with the Royal Navy..... I will have a look through my old sea chest for the names of some of my ex girl friends

I live in Beijing but I go once in a while to Shanghai. Nanjing lu is where you shop and people watch. I once stayed at The New Asia hotel which was fine and I had a great view of the Bund. The Panorama Shanghai is nice and of course The Shangri-La is really nice. I think The Peace hotel is too pricey and over-rated.

It's cool to walk along the Bund at night.

The old French quarter has excellent restaurants and night life, I'm sure if you wind up there you will have a nice time, there's good live music.

Have a great trip!

I Spent a few months in Shanghai a few years back.

If you are looking for lively entertainment ( Nana styl)e it can be found in Nang Jing East Lu, Maoming Nan Lu, Zhu Lu Lu, Xian Tian Di Road.
