Buses cost just ¥2 (≈A0.40), require apps like AMap or Smart Shanghai. For scenic views, Huangpu River ferries (¥2≈A0.40) showcase the Bund and Pudong skyline—best taken outside rush hours.

Where to Stay in Shanghai

The Bund: Grand river views, Art Deco landmarks, and swanky cocktail dens—all rubbing shoulders with chaotic crowds and knockoff shops. Perfect for photographers and luxury seekers. Skip if you hate crowds—tour groups swarm the waterfront promenade at sunrise.
Huangpu Old Town: Crumbling alleyways collide with soup dumpling stalls and silk hawkers. Steps from Yuyuan Garden (tip: enter at 8 AM before queues coil like dragons) and City God Temple. Hostels charge ¥120/night (≈A$25).
Jing’an: Corporate monoliths by day, speakeasy bars by night. Mix of design hotels (¥600–1500/≈A$125–315) and hidden jazz clubs near Jing’an Park. Love truffle xiaolongbao and 2 AM negronis? You’ll vibe here. Avoid during Golden Week—Nanjing Road becomes a human river.

Things to Do in Shanghai

Yuyuan Garden – Wander Ming-dynasty pavilions (¥40/≈A$8) as lanterns ignite the zigzag bridge. Then, order chrysanthemum-honey cocktails in the Old City.
