Shanghai Hotel Information

Shanghai has the highest prices for real estate on mainland China. As a result, although there are literally hundreds of hotels in the city, most of the best ones are pretty expensive, especially in comparison with elsewhere in the country. However, while prices do not compare, standards are noticeably better.


Shanghai has a selection of the very best hotels in China. Services, style and quality in the five star hotels in the city are exceptional and the choice too, is enough to satisfy many different tastes. Most of the top hotels (RMB800 to RMB1,400) fall into two categories; old art deco style renovated buildings such as The Peace Hotel, and brand spanking new towers of sophistication like The Grand Hyatt. Most of these hotels are located in the downtown area, including The Portman Ritz-Carlton on Nanjing Road, The Hilton on Huashan Road; and The Pudong Shangri-la. All these places boast first class services and advanced facilities with that additional Shanghai twist- a bit of style.

Shanghai also has numerous two or three star hotels offering good value for money (RMB400-RMB800). Many of these places, while clearly not as sophisticated as their five star counterparts are still in great central locations and cater well to foreign tourists and business travelers.

At the bottom end of the market, there is notably less choice. There are a few hotels with reasonable rooms under RMB200 but many of these are on the outskirts of the city and it's a drag to get to them. The only realistic budget options for those just visiting the city are the Pujiang Hotel and the Conservatory of Music. The prices here are pretty good but these Hotels are usually busy, so try and book ahead.

Shanghai's Entertainment

As the night falls, Shanghai, the busy and noisy city, seems to quiet down unnoticed. The streets and lanes, having suffered a day’s heavy traffic, finally get a chance to refresh themselves and shrug off the hubbub of the day. It’s time the city renewed her make-up, and just after a few moments she manages to take on a graceful bearing. Neon lights, floodlights, laser lights and other colorful lights called “stars of the sky”, suddenly, all start to glitter.
Sparking and revolving, they makes Shanghai more pretty as well as fascinating. This very moment Shanghai has taken on a look extremely different from her appearance in the daytime. In a casual and elegant fashion, she is unfolding her charm before people’s eyes.

Entertainments are rather prosperous in Shanghai. Splendid theaters, fashionable cinemas, first-class bands and luxurious dance halls have come to be seen as a kind of cultural symbol.

Nightclubs are an integral part of Shanghai entertainments. Today’s nightclubs, dintinct from those in the old days, have become the best places of exercise, amusement, sports and relaxation. The Bluebelt Recreation Club and the Night Paris around the Waihai Road, and the Big World at the city center are very popular among the people.

Submerged in the multicolored light of the neon lamps, Shanghai is shining dazzlingly.

Yao Ming--The Spokesman of Shanghai


YaoMing - I love this game



Yao Ming Profile

Website: YaoMing.net & InterBasket
Teams (Jersey): Chinese National Team (13) Shanghai Sharks (15) Houston Rockets (11)
IBN Notes: Never has a combination of awesome size and skills come together in one package, what makes this combination odd is that it comes from far East, not exactly a hotbed for basketball prospects. But there he stands, 7-5 and 300lbs, Yao Ming is the center of the future; a better shooter than most point guards and definitely a lot more skilled than most centers, Ming has all the tools to be successful, but as of this writing, Yao lacks only the aggression and attitude that will propel him from promising pivot to complete domination of the center position.

YaoMing.net: (Source: Jane Yin) Dozens of articles have been written about him, people crowd the lines to get tickets to his games, his name and picture are strewn all over the news. Although he's only a rookie, he has become a household name. But this year's NBA number one draft pick, soft-spoken, humorous Yao Ming is much more than a magnificent basketball player. He is an explorer and a pioneer. Reminiscing about his childhood dream, he says "I wanted to be adventurer and explore the world." He reveled in geography and history. His stellar basketball moves have allowed him to begin accomplishing his childhood dreams.

Yao Ming had one of the most exciting rookie years in NBA history. In the NBA, Yao Ming scored an average of 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.74 blocks per game, earning him unanimous NBA All-Rookie First Team honors. Yao reached three blocks 26 times, as Houston held a 22-4 record in these contests. He started at center for the Western Conference in the 2003 NBA All-Star Game after ranking fourth overall in All-Star balloting with 1,286,324 votes and was named the Western Conference Rookie of the Month for December and February.

Off the court, Yao appeared on the covers of Sports Illustrated, The Sporting News, ESPN the Magazine, SLAM, Inside Stuff and Basketball Digest during his rookie season. He also received the 2003 Laureus World Newcomer of the Year award and was featured in television commericals for Visa, Apple Computer and Gatorade. During the summer, he traveled back to China to play for the Chinese National Team and hosted a mutlinational telethon to raise funds to battle SARS.

Being dubbed as the "biggest story going in the draft," by C.M. Newton of the World Basketball Championships, you would never know by talking to him. With a warm smile, Yao loves to come home from a long day work to his mom's hearty Chinese meals in their Houston home. Although he misses hanging out with his friends and going to Internet Cafes to play video games in China, Houston is a second home to him now. Everyday, he reads American papers, such as USA Today, and watches television to continue to master his English. He can't wait to hop on a bike and ride all over Houston, just like he does in China.
