China: 1st time in Shanghai

[Volvobrick]

Yeah, other than the glittering malls in the city such as IFC, IAPM, and the likes. Many of the local malls even in big city still have the "open concept" toilets. But got to say, it is rapidly changing every year. 

 

I have never come across an open concept toilet in Shanghai leh.... and I have been there many many times.

 

Even the highway rest stops have proper cubicles now.

[Volvobrick]

Next trip I would look out for them!

[Thaiyotakamli]

I have few shanghai friends and always warn me pickpocket. Most of them handphone wallet kena before esp in crowded place like nanjing lu or bus

Have lah. Go to local malls, not the branded malls. Those that look like our strata-titled malls. And they are not exactly dirty or old, they are quite new but open concept.

Those are older mall bulid in the 80s or 90s.

Newer local mall all are ok already.

Nanjing East Rd is a tourist trap. Atas people only hang out at Nanjing West Rd.

Yah.

My family prefer walk around Nanjing west road. Recently the biggest Starbucks store in the world just opened there.

If they are going to 丽江玉龙雪山 or 香格里拉， be careful of mountain sickness.

My wife had very bad headaches and short of breath when we at the peak of 玉龙雪山 of 4600m. Lucky we bought some O2 can.

香格里拉 most attraction are between 3000-4000m. Need to walk slow and don't rush.

For older people I think better careful.
