Anonymous asked: random travel question: if you had to do shanghai in a weekend, what would you do? this is my first time to the city, and i only get one weekend cuz i'm studying in beijing and i gotta go back for class on monday

damn son/gurl, you short on time!!! a weekend is simply not 足够 for proper adventurin’. if you ever get the chance spend at least a good week in shanghai

hmmm some spots i’d recommend if it’s your first time

xujiahui for shopping and stuff the bund because duh!! swfc because tallest building in da chinur (lemme know if the life-sized cardboard printout of yao ming still greets you at the top floor) you could also visit the pearl tower but that’s hella fug50 moganshan road for a look into china’s contemporary arts scene xintiandi for more shoppin and funz while you’re in xintiandi you might as well hit up din tai fung cus that place is the SHIT liKE i know there are several locations in beijing too but come on who in their right mind resists dumplings nOT ME the bullet train!!!! it’s cool go to the museum and culture urself (shanghai museum is the big one) i know there are some cool jazz/blues bars around 茂名南路 underground markets for fake designer goods. quality varies from place to place, the deeper you go the better and more $$$ they get. shenzhen’s still the go-to city in china for fakes tho idk eat whenever you can, shanghai’s food is the best in china imo hope that was helpful and more importantly, that you have fun!!
