[David Havellin]

I will be heading over to Shanghai for 4 or 5 days with a couple of female friends. Would appreciate some advice on the following questions, on where to eat and shop

1) Where and what to eat? (good restaurants, road side stalls, eating streets)
2) Where to shop? (cheap stalls, trinkets, night markets, fake branded clothes etc)
3) Where to tailor clothes? thinking of tailoring a cheongsam
4) what are the must see or visit places? must try foods?
5) Which hotel would you recommend for 4 ladies? some safe, 4 star hotel, clean, safe, good location (near shopping & eating places with convenient transport)

To be more informative,I suggest you go to Chenghuang Temple where has the most typical Chinese food and clothing with rather low prices and good quality. Being a foreigner, you will find it's the most interesting places you have traveled. Fantastic Chinese culture with alive performance,unforgetable dumpling with nice noodle.Beautiful gold buddha and necklace. Shanghai Normal University on Gui Lin Lu has a guest house which has a nice breakfast for 5 and a dinner and lunch for 10 rmb. Though Nanjing Pedestrian Only Street is famous, to most Shanghai youth, Huaihai Rd is their favourite for the good merchandise and price. And in Xiangyang Rd, you will buy some famous brand bags.
