You can talk with the sellers freely although you don’t know Chinese, they could use Calculator, gesture, body language and simple english to tell you the price, so go ahead to bargain and buy, if you don’t know how much it values, I recommend you to give a low price first, if the seller don’t sell, then add little by little, try lah, Bargain is very interesting here.

After the interesting visit at City god temple, lunch time we must go to some good place to satisfy our stamoch. In Shanghai, you can find all kinds of cuisine in China and overseas, Chinese food is all over shanghai, you can find it everywhere so I don’t want to introduce more, If you like Thai food, you can go to Jin Xiang yuan restaurant in Majesty plaze hotel or Ma Boon Krong at CITIC, But if you say, I am from Thailand or I eat too much,,I don’t want this anymore, then you can choose Japanese food, Korean food, ask local people, they will give you suggestions.

In the afteoon, if you like shopping, you can go to Nanjing road popular China tour package or Huaihai road Shopping mall, you can find many famous brand there. If you want to see some secnic spots ,you can go to the Oriental pearl TV tower, Jade buddha temple, Yu garden, If you want to take some special photograph, I recommend you to go to Xuhui district, This place have many old Villa and Couryard, Plane trees at the both side of the road, silent and comfortable,

After dinner,you must want to enjoy Shanghai night life, I’d like to introduce some Bars, Xintiandi is your best Choice if it is your first time to Shanghai, it is very famous and many foreigners like to spend night there,however, it is crowd and maybe you must share a table with other people, so better go there earlier if you really want to enjoy your night. The other choice if you just want to have a good communication with your friends, I recommend the Bar at Hengshang road, many local people in Shanghai and some foreigners working here like Bars there, Like FULL HOUSE(which is a Jazz style music bar), not so many people around, just enjoy your life with your friend listening some simple jazz music by Singer.

Well, this is my opinion of one day free and easy way to enjoy shanghai life, it’s simple but maybe you can not know this by travel agency. Hope you like it.
