Then they want to bring me to the sightseeing tunnel, maybe they can ear some money with this, too? I refused again and walked away.
The sightseeing tunnel is kind of silly to do for tourism reasons, but is often useful during rush hour if you simply want to get between Lujiazui and the Bund (subway overshoots the Bund by a solid 700 meters).
