Shanghai, China || The city

I refer to this website for sightseeing

http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/shanghai.htm

Substitute to google search is www.bing.com

Google map substitute is www.baidu.com

Taxi:
Normally all taxis are metered.. but the "midnite price" can be a lottle too much. We pay CNY26 from Hotel Crowne plaza at Panyu road to Nanjing street. But coming back they ask for CNY100. reason is midnight price (it was only 9pm)

Halal restaurants
1. Lanzhou beef noodle at Nanjing street
2. In front of hotel near Panyu road. Quite pricey.. auhentuc cuisine. I ate horse intestine for cny39
3. Also another one nearby hotel. Awesome noodle with awesomr price

1. NANJING STREET
Not too far from Peoples square. Happening street. Awesome bargaining.  Try more than 50% off the stated price.
Fridge magnet i can get CNY10, buy 10 free 1

2. AP Plaza
At "Shanghai Science and Technology Museum".. direct underneath is the subway station.  Very easy.
This is the largest bargain mall.. and when i say bargain.. bargain like crazy... like 80% off!!

3. Market 580
The best shopping place we found so far. Better than AP Plaza. To go here the nearest is Nanjing West. But better take taxi

4. Yuyuan garden
Very touristic area. I love it.  Ancient buildings in the heart of modern city

5. The bund
Where u can find the shanghai tv tower. Very beautiful at night

6. Boat cruise
Take a river cruise for ¥100 each. See the beautiful buildings of shanghai metropolis.. don't worry about your side. The boat will come back on the same route.. so you'll see both sides just by maintaining sitting on one side.

7. Fabric mall
There's one near the bund but i couldn't find it. The one i went was near the big bridge.  Price wasn't too awesome.
I didn't buy anything fabric tho

Shanghai, China || The entry visa

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

I am travelling again today. Rabbi yassir wala tu assir. Mohon Allah mudahkan. Amin

Its my first time to China. Of course the first thing to worry is the entry visa.
Here in KL you have to go to the agency or visa office at Hamshire Place level 5 and 6. It is located near Ampang Park.. 200m behind Bank Of China building.

Couple of range for visa selection.. the more u pay the faster u get.

For first timer applicant you can only apply for single entry visa. Same price for business or tourism. But for business u need to have invitation letter. The other documents to attach are passport photo (blue or white background), copy of passport data page and flight ticket.

For rush apllication u have to submit before 10am. I pay rm310 and got the visa at 3.30 same day.

Maybe i'll put some more details later

See ya
