Nanking East Road

This pedestrian mall is lined with shops, restaurants and departmental stores. If you are into Chinese cuisine, you can find good Shanghainese restaurants here. The mall leads to the famous Bund where magnificant facades of colonial style buildings face the HuangPu River.

    I fell victum to this today! The end result was about 1300 Yuan for the whole tea tasting ceremony. Suggest that to be weary of anyone who comes up to you speaking friendly english, no matter how genuine and friendly they seem.

    Fell for scam in Shang. "Tea" =3200 rmb bill! Mistake of paying by credit card. Did nothing too crazy with "girls", but not something I want known by wife (ashamed). Would girls try blackmail with name from cc slip?I'm not famous,but could be googled.
