Heading to Shanghai this week. I am carrying my Discover card and also my UNFCU chip and pin in case I have problems. Did you have any problems using your US credits cards at smaller restaurants etc.?

Neat!
BTW, it is a very lovely hotel in a historical building/yard, located in the heart of the old Shanghai. You'll never believe you can find that kind of tranquility in Shanghai's city center.
