Traveling to a new city can be intimidating, concerns like where to stay and what to eat flood the brain. One of the best ways to answer these questions is to ask someone you can trust- a local or expat living on site. This expat has recorded top hidden gems in Shanghai to help you narrow down your itinerary, regardless of your budget. If you don't stay at the Hyatt, at least go check out the lounge located in the famous Jin Mao Tower and then the Sky Bar on the 88th floor. If you can't afford fine dining, at least stop by Whisk for a classy and mouth watering desert. Finally, Cotton Club and Face are romantic yet lively places for an after dinner drink or a pricey but delectable meal. Avoid the crowds at the Shanghai Museum and head, instead, out on a Huangpu Rive Cruise, which locals and expats do regularly mid summer.
