Ever dreamed of exploring a city where ancient temples stand beside sci-fi skyscrapers, but worried about the "China hassle"?
Good news: Shanghai is now easier to visit than ever—with visa-free entry for 38 countries (yes, 30 days FREE!) and instant tax refunds on shopping.
But here’s the catch: your Google Maps won’t work, cash is useless, and no one speaks English.
Don’t panic—we’ve got your back! In this episode, we spill the secrets to:
🌐 How to survive Shanghai’s “Great Firewall” (VPNs that actually work)
💳 How to set up Alipay with a foreign card in 5 minutes
🥟 Where locals eat soup dumplings
🛡️ Why Shanghai is safer than Paris—but you might get asked for selfies
🧖♀️ free attractions, and the must-ride 430km/h maglev train
🎁 Bonus: Want to say Chinese like a local and actually be understood?
Grab your free 1-on-1 Mandarin travel lesson from eChineseLearning.com—your taxi driver and taste buds will thank you.
