hi

I'm going Shanghai next month and will be staying in Jing Hui Hotel.

Just wondering is there any Watsons and supermarkets near the hotel that I will be staying?

And also if I want to go to Cheng Huang Miao & Xiang Yang Shi Cang. Is it very far?

Can anyone give me the directions?

Thank you very much as this will be my first trip to Shanghai.

Babs,

I was just in Shanghai myself, got back to Hong Kong tonight from Beijing.

Yes there is a Watsons, it's near around Huai Hai Rd and South Hangpi Rd (you can get out of South Hangpi Subway and walk over) I was meeting someone at 398 Huai Hai Rd and was early so I wandered a bit, and it's in an underground mall - from the street ON Huai Hai Rd. you'll see a store called, Uni Qlo...it's in the basement section of that mall.
Also Xiang Yang Shi Cang is very close by too.
But from you hotel location is a bit far (about half hour bus?)...I'm not sure if any Watson's near your area. But since you mentioned the market and such, I saw a Watsons there.
