Shanghai by neighbourhood, with plans for a short stay

Organized around Shanghai’s neighbourhoods, this compact guide combines walking tours and mapped sights with practical trip-planning information. Its Three Perfect Days itineraries offer ready-made options, while listings for restaurants, bars, markets and street vendors add detail for time outside the main attractions. The coverage ranges from the Bund, People’s Square and Old Town to Pudong and the Former French Concession. Sections on public transport, arrival, accessibility and responsible travel round out the city orientation; a pull-out map supports navigation. The book is structured for trips of one to seven days, with both well-known landmarks and less familiar places included.
