That sounds terrible. Once would be bad, but SEVERAL times?
Anything else I need to know about Shanghai?
I could also benefit from hotel recommendations. For a tourist, where am I likely to find the best deal on a nice (don't need "5 star") property?
Also, how is the train to Hangzhou? I've heard the train station in Hangzhou is "chaotic." What's the scene in Shanghai?
Thanks!
