🚇 Transportation
Shanghai Metro is your BFF. Most tourist hotspots are metro-friendly and stations have English signs. Want to ride in a car instead to get away from the heat? Easy to find, just download the Didi app or access Didi via Alipay/Wechat for smooth rides.

🗺 Getting around
The Amap app is super helpful for getting around. You can use it to get a detailed trip schedule for using public transport.... it's even better to use for restaurants that are backed by locals! Use Alipay or Wechat to access your public transfer QR codes so you're not struggling to purchase a ticket.

📷 Photo Spots
The Bund at sunset = no filter needed! Oriental Pearl Tower, Yu Garden bridges, and vibe-packed street scenes around Tianzifang are must-gram.

🍜 Local Cuisine
Craving soup dumplings (xiaolongbao)? Hit up street stalls or local spots near Yu Garden. Try “shengjianbao”—crispy, juicy buns that totally slap. Nighttime at Nanjing Road = snack heaven!
