Shanghai will see the World Expo in August.

First question: you don't have to live near the Expo site. It's convenient near the subway and cheaper than near the Expo site. It takes about 45 minutes to get to the Expo site, so try to save as much as possible. When you get to Shanghai, you might as well spend your money on places to eat and play! However, I would like to recommend some hotels for you, including hotels near the Expo site and hotels near the subway in other places. See below:

Starway Fu Shang Holiday Hotel (Nanjing East Road), 300 per night-400 yuan.

In Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, there are only three stops from the subway to the railway station, and there are four stops from the subway line 8 to the Expo Park, which takes about 10 minutes. Transportation, eating, shopping and playing are very convenient.

Green tree inn Shanghai Yanchang road branch 250- 350 yuan every night

It takes only 1 minute to walk (200m) from the subway 1 line, and it takes only about 30 minutes to transfer from the Expo site to Line 8 to People's Square Station, which is very convenient for transportation, eating, playing and shopping.

Hanting Lanling Market Store 200- Every night in 300 yuan

It's about 2 minutes' walk (about 400 meters) from Metro Line 7, and it can go directly to Expo Park, Houtan Station and Changqing Road Station, with convenient transportation.

Hanting official website has a reservation

Home Inn Lujiabang Road, 250 per night-400 yuan (near the Expo Park)

It takes about 10 minutes to walk to Puxi intersection of the Expo site, and the Expo site can be reached by subway line 8 1 station, with convenient transportation, shopping and eating.

The Expo Park is a large area, and even the nearest hotel actually has to walk a long way, which may not be cost-effective. Besides, besides the World Expo, you have to go to other scenic spots in Shanghai for sightseeing or shopping, so it is strongly recommended that you choose hotels along the subway. Of course, there are five-star intercontinental hotels in the Expo Park, which are managed by the British Intercontinental Hotels Group (Holiday Inn is one of their subordinate brands), but the price is estimated to be around 2,500 a night, which is really not cost-effective. So it is not recommended.

Of course, if you want to make it cheaper, I strongly recommend you: Shanghai Yin Da International Youth Hostel is only 8 minutes' walk from Pudong Avenue Station of Metro Line 4, and 15 minutes' walk from Century Avenue Station of Metro Lines 2, 4 and 6. It is very convenient to get to the airport or railway station by rail transit. There are more than 20 bus lines at the entrance of the hostel, which is about 65438 from Oriental Pearl, Jinmao Building and World Financial Center.

The hostel has standard rooms, queen beds and many rooms to choose from. Each room has its own bathroom, air conditioning and 24-hour hot water supply. (Google it, both)

The second point: Travel and transportation: Shanghai has developed public transportation and subway. You don't have to take a taxi unless you have to, and the traffic jam is serious. And the waiting fee caused by traffic jams is quite high. However, a group of taxis specially bought by Shanghai for the World Expo have the logo of the World Expo and the new model of Touran, which is very comfortable. The key is that these drivers are selected at all levels, with first-class quality and hospitality. Don't worry about being cheated. Even if you speak African, they will choose the most reasonable route for you to reach your destination.

Point 3: By the way, I would like to recommend some famous scenic spots in Shanghai:

1. Yuyuan Garden, Chenghuang Temple, Shanghai Old Street-in the same place, you can learn about Jiangnan gardens and Shanghai specialties, spiced beans, steamed buns and so on. .

2. Jade Buddha Temple-Anyuan Road, near the railway station.

3. Huaihai Road-Shopping

4. Nanjing Road-the first commercial street in China, especially Nanjing West Road, is full of top famous brands in urban streets. .

5. Xintiandi-the first choice for nightlife in Shanghai, with bars and pubs clustered together and beautiful guys clustered together. .

6. Tongren Road-a bar street where foreigners get together, and handsome guys get together more! !

7. The Bund-the essence of Shanghai. . No introduction. .

-These are all scenic spots in Puxi.

8. Lujiazui-High-rise buildings, World Financial Center and Oriental Pearl Tower. . .

9. Expo Park, of course! ! !

10。 Of course, there are Happy Valley, indoor ski resorts, water parks and so on. Nothing special. These other cities have them, so there is no need to waste time.

As for the surrounding tourism you mentioned. . Let me give you some advice:

1。 Water towns in the south of the Yangtze River: Zhouzhuang (Su), Tongli, Wuzhen, Xitang and Jiaozhi (Su). . (These are all famous water towns, which are about 2 hours' drive from Shanghai1-. You can go back and forth on the same day. But I personally hate Zhouzhuang, which is too commercialized!

2. Suzhou, in fact, the whole city is nothing special except a few gardens. You can also go back and forth on the same day.

Hangzhou is a good place. We all like to spend weekends there during the holidays. Especially suitable for couples to play in the urban area, near the West Lake and on Nanshan Road, and take a walk. Absolute enjoyment. It's far from Shanghai, and it will take at least two days to stay overnight.

Well, I hope I can help you with that. If you have any questions, please add them. I'm happy to provide as much information as possible for your trip to the World Expo. The main problem is accommodation. As for air tickets, train tickets and so on, it is estimated that the price difference is not too big, and it can be found online. I have worked in Shanghai hotel industry and tourism for many years. You can add me if you need more detailed information.

Finally, I wish you an unforgettable Expo summer.

In fact, I have answered the same questions from many friends, and I am constantly supplementing my answers with your constant questions, but I always feel that it is not detailed enough. So many friends added my qq. This is more direct and really helps a lot of friends. I am very happy and happy. )
