Gastronomy: Delicious Discoveries

Shanghai's culinary landscape is a paradise for foodies. When in Shanghai, you must try the city's signature dish, Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). These delicate, steamed buns filled with pork and savory broth are a true delight. Another local favorite is Shengjianbao, pan-fried pork buns with a crispy bottom and juicy filling. For noodle enthusiasts, don't miss the Scallion Oil Noodles, a simple yet flavor-packed dish.

Seafood lovers should try the Shanghai-style hairy crab, a seasonal delicacy, especially savored for its rich, creamy roe. Vegetarians can enjoy the authentic flavors in dishes like Braised Gluten with Mushrooms, an excellent showcase of Shanghai's ability to make even simple ingredients shine.

Sweet treats are not forgotten here. Indulge in the Red Bean Paste Buns for a taste of traditional Shanghai dessert. And for a refreshing beverage, savor a cup of Jasmine Tea, deeply rooted in local drinking culture.

Each spot in this audio guide comes with recommendations for the nearest and most highly rated restaurants according to Google's user reviews, ensuring you get the best gastronomic experience in Shanghai.

Transportation and getting around the city

Landing in Shanghai, you have a few great options to get into the city from the airport. The Maglev train is a cool experience – it's one of the fastest trains in the world and will zip you into the city in just about 8 minutes. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, the metro and taxis are also available right from the airport.

Once you're in the city, the Shanghai Metro is your best friend. It's extensive, efficient, and covers most tourist attractions. You can easily grab a rechargeable metro card from any station. For shorter distances, walking is a fantastic way to soak in the local atmosphere, especially in areas like the Bund, French Concession, and Xintiandi.

Taxis are plentiful and reasonably priced, but having your destination written in Chinese can be a big help as not all drivers speak English. If you're keen on a more structured exploration, hop-on hop-off tour buses are a great option. You can find these buses and buy tickets at major tourist spots like People's Square, the Bund, or online on various tour websites.

Remember, Shanghai is big, so planning your day around the areas you want to explore can save you a lot of travel time!
