Shanghainese Girl Marrying Foreigners Very interesting post... Here's some related reading your readers might find interesting, though not about marriage, per se -- more a North American perspective on Western men and their attraction to Asian women: http://www.fredoneverything.net/AsianWomen.shtml Enjoy! |

Transition between MagLev and Train Hi Jian, Thanks to your excellent Maglev info I was able to find the station at Pudong and continue on the #2 train line to Renmin Park. I would caution your readers about transferring to the metro, though -- especially if they have heavy baggage. My girlfriend and I couldn't find an escalator down to the actual train platform anywhere in Long Yang station. Also, I tried to buy us a couple of Metro cards from the ticket agent, who waved me off with a terrified look on her face! Fortunately there are automated single-fare ticket machines with English displays in every metro station I passed through. I would actually recommend that visitors get a cab the rest of the way into town from the Long Yang Maglev station. They're very cheap and will get you right to the door of your hotel. Once again, a big thank-you for this blog, which was an excellent inspiration to visit your fantastic city :-) |

Shanghai South Railway Station Hi, Longtime reader, first-time commenter :-) I'm bringing my girlfriend to Shanghai in August (neither of us have been before) and I'd really like to try out the Maglev Train while minimizing hassles with our luggage. I'll be using your helpful post about where to find the Maglev station at the airport, but I'm wondering what to do when we get to Long Yang Road. We're staying near People's Square at this hotel: http://www.yangtzehotel.cn/ Could we just flag a taxi from Long Yang Road? Are they easy to find? Would it be a much longer trip? Thanks for any advice... Looking forward to my first Shanghai visit! |
