BEAUTY Shanghai City so charming. The appeal of one of the largest cities in China makes the traveler so enjoy the trip to this city with modern architecture.
Shanghai offers a variety of charm that is so tempting for anyone who visited there, began the traditional culture of its inhabitants to the luxury of contemporary modernity. Shanghai is one of the city business in the State Bamboo Curtain. Economic progress have been advancing wheel Shanghai tourism city.
On the sidelines to see the Indonesia Pavilion at World Expo 2010 in October last, I took time to get around the city of Shanghai. I accompanied Gilang, a citizen of Indonesia (WNI) who has graduated college and now works in Shanghai City. In fact, married a girl Gilang Shanghai.
In addition to knowing the ins and outs of Shanghai City, fluency in spoken Mandarin Gilang very membantu.Maklum, not many residents of Shanghai who speaks English.
Thus, almost all communication using Mandarin. Shanghai is so majestic. Lots of skyscrapers were built there. Cities such as Shanghai in China other is being kept organize themselves. Its growth is so rapid, at least in the last 10 years.
China is also increasingly open and friendly to strangers. Not excessive when the splendor of Shanghai can already be aligned with the major cities in the world, like Paris (France), Tokyo (Japan) and Seoul (South Korea).
However, the rapid economic and technological progress in Shanghai have not been matched by human resource people. One of them can be seen from the inadequate number of people there who speaks English.
Especially in terms of habit, many residents there who spit carelessly. However, the Shanghai government's firmness in applying the rules and enforcing discipline has made "little short" is not a serious obstacle to the progress of Shanghai.
Upholding the rule in Shanghai have made the investment climate there was so advanced. Of course enforcement of these rules also make the convenience for the tourists who visit there.
The Bund Lots of interesting places to visit in Shanghai. One is The Bund. This area is located in the heart of the city and an icon of Shanghai City. Yang Pu River about one kilometer wide dividing area of Shanghai, the Pudong and poems. On the river, tourists can ride the boat to enjoy the beauty of Shanghai City.
All of the ship is rotating in the region of The Bund. It also makes Shanghai so alive. The Bund area is characterized by the presence of a high tower called the Pearl Tower is a unique shape. From the tower whose height is about 80 levels, travelers can see from the above in greater Shanghai area.
"Like the Monas (National Monument), Jakarta. So, tourists can go and ride to the Pearl Tower. Apart from enjoying the beautiful scenery of Shanghai City from above, in it are also many restaurants serving a delicious menu, "said Martina, a student from Bali who went to Shanghai.
Do not want to up the Pearl Tower, tourists can also enjoy the beauty of Shanghai by standing on one side of river. The scenery is equally beautiful. On the banks of the river that we could enjoy the Bund is so charming.
Scenery more beautiful at night with various lights shining from hundreds of buildings that lined both sides of river. Light emission from ships that pass in there also adds to the life of this city when the night.
Interestingly, near the Bund stood many buildings with distinctive architecture of Europe, like Germany, Britain, and France. Understandably, Shanghai had become a bone of contention was the third European country before the arrival of the Japanese to invade China.
In addition to its beautiful landscape, the attraction of Shanghai mainly on cleanliness. No garbage piled up on the roadside, no hawkers (street vendors) who sell wild on the roadside.
Everything is neat. Moreover, many city parks are deliberately created by the Shanghai Municipal Government. Likewise, the river water looks clean and free from rubbish. This contrasts with the condition of rivers in Jakarta are dirty and smelly.
Others as well allure of Shanghai since the city has excellent transportation, modern, and inexpensive. Shanghai has subwayyang trains linking the entire area in the city of Shanghai. In addition, there are many city buses are available to take passengers with reasonably priced rates.
For example, take a train subway charge 3 to 8 RMB RMB depending on the distance (1 RMB worth about Rp1.300). City buses that operate 24 hours, the charge is even cheaper than a subway train. If you have more money, too many taxis operating in Shanghai. Compared to Jakarta, taxi fares in Shanghai is a bit expensive. Once opened the door, it costs 12 RMB.
"However, if the above 23:00 until 05:00, the tariff rises. Open the door, so 16 RMB. so is 2.4 RMB per kilometer from the time of day to 2.7 RMB that night, "said Martina who was three years studying there.
Shanghai Residents appreciate the friendly and there are a variety of strangers after an international event held in the city, such as the World Expo 2010.
Moreover, the Shanghai Municipal Government continues to disseminate a variety of social or moral advertisements for its citizens and foreigners to stay comfortable in Shanghai.
For example, in the taxi were written instructions for foreigners who do not speak Mandarin. It said, If you have any problems connecting with taxi drivers, you may call the Shanghai Center for free assistance at 962 288. This is done because it is very rarely a taxi driver in there who could speak English.
Shanghai is also widely available in rental cars for tourists. The price varies, depending on the type and class of vehicle rented. For example for the car type van, it costs about 1,500 RMB per 10 hours, the average sedan 500-900 RMB per 10 hours.
Shanghai has four seasons every year. Incidentally while there earlier this month, Shanghai is experiencing a fall. Temperature around 12 degrees Celsius. Pretty cool, especially when there is wind.
