Since ctrip is HQed in Shanghai, do they do a high volume of hotel bookings in Shanghai and well known to the hotel industry? Are the chances that a hotel booking will have problems less for Shanghai hotel booking?

If you were to compare ctrip to an American online travel agency, are they more like an Expedia or a Priceline?
1. Shanghai or elsewhere, matters not IME (Ctrip is prevalent everywhere)
2. I honestly don't think Ctrip is any less reliable than Agoda, Expedia, Orbitz, etc... though its website and mobile app are not especially stellar
3. On the off chance that things go wrong, you can always call them (their phone support is outstanding)
