I’m going to Shanghai during May 1st and book a hotel.

You can consider budget hotels. Many hotels have launched Expo rooms. However, because the Expo is being held, all hotels have canceled preferential rooms during the Expo, and all room prices have increased. You can choose the surrounding area as long as the transportation is convenient, such as near the subway, or near the train station, or South Station, instead of choosing the area near the Expo site. I recommend Hanting to you, Home Inn, but it costs more than 200, you can go to their official website Check the website and you can choose the cheaper ones in Pudong area, Xuhui, Luwan and other surrounding areas. We have to do it as soon as possible, maybe we won’t have a room by then.
