#hellohalloween Hitting up Shanghai and Beijing? Here’s my handpicked guide for smart stays, must-see culture, and pro traveler hacks 🚇🌆 Top Spots to Visit in Shanghai 🎵 The Starry Band Museum (4F, Yuehui Plaza, 353 East Nanjing Rd): Open daily 10:00-21:30, last admission 21:00. Entry is ¥39.8. It’s a hidden gem for music lovers with interactive exhibits—don’t skip the sound experience zones! 🍜 Cheng Long Hang: Local food hit—try their famous hairy crab dishes for the full Shanghai flavor. Where to Stay: My Crash-Tested Picks! JI Hotel (Bund Shandong Middle Rd, No. 300): Major win for location, next to Metro Line 2, super easy for airport runs and city exploring. Loads of shops and eats steps away. Pro tip: rooms are convenient but ask for one away from traffic, and double-check soundproofing (some guests found issues). Duoyuan Youth Hostel (Bund, 339 Guangdong Rd, 3F): Backpacker’s gold. Walk to the Bund/Nanjing Rd, subway is close. Big shared spaces, lockers, and kitchenettes. It’s affordable; however, communal cleanliness and roommate vibes can vary—pack earplugs and disinfectant wipes just in case! Crystal Orange Hotel (266 Hankou Rd): Modern, clean, killer views! They’ve got robot room service and in-house laundry. Staff are super helpful with travel tips. Quick fix: double-check AC and room hygiene on arrival. JI Hotel (The Bund Ningbo Rd, No. 50): Budget-friendly, ultra-clean, rooftop breakfast. Rooms are compact, soundproofing could be better—perfect for solo travelers who value price over luxury. Getting Around: Use the metro—cheap, fast, and covers all the hotspots. All these hotels are steps away from stations, so no worries about long walks with luggage. Food: Dive into street eats around Nanjing Road (xiaolongbao FTW!), but also splurge at Cheng Long Hang for authentic crab. Money/Logistics: No visa stress for transit stops under 144 hours! Use cash (RMB) for most small vendors; card is fine at hotels. #ShanghaiStay #BeijingBound #MetroHacks #ChinaTravel #TripTips

Shanghai is incredibly clean and beautiful! Instead of the usual tourist spots that many Koreans search for, I want to introduce you to the most delicious place I visited! It's none other than Polux French Toast. Even on weekends, when I visited around 1 PM, I managed to get the last French toast—it’s that popular! Highly recommended! In front of Wukang Mansion, there are many photographers who can take your picture. Among them, there’s a woman with glasses who uses a Polaroid camera to print photos instantly. She’s really skilled (though I’m not sure if she’s there every day). At the Bund, there are also many photographers. They carry portfolios, so you can choose the style you like and have your photo taken! + You can select your favorite photos, and the price depends on the number of photos you choose (charged per photo). I think it’s worth the price! Have a wonderful trip!

Crab King House is worth a try. There are many Shanghai locals eating there, and crabs are sold all year round. Recommended.

Where should you eat it? It has to be Cheng Long Hang Crab Palace! The crab disassembly service is amazing! Although eating crab yourself is more fun, the crab disassembly service keeps the crab meat more intact! Otherwise, how much crab meat is spat out with the broken crab shell? Of course, the best thing about Crab Palace is the "Eight Pieces of Crab" Yes, a crab from crab roe, crab paste, crab meat, crab legs... is cooked in different ways! In addition to hairy crabs, I highly recommend the crab paste rice, a bowl of crab paste, crab oil on the rice, and a drop of crab vinegar, it's delicious! It will make you feel like you're in heaven! Trust me, you have to order it! Then there's the Mapo Crab Tofu, which is very appetizing, and the crab paste will make you feel a little dizzy, so a little spicy will wake you up, it's amazing! The service here is very good, open all day, even if it's past meal time, even if you're the only one at the table, even if you're off work, the waiters will serve you with enthusiasm! Today's service from No. 181 was very good, and she recommended the dried shrimp and snail head stewed tofu, a bowl of hot tofu soup at night is really comfortable! Finally, we were given chestnut cake as a dessert, a very pleasant and perfect meal! This is what a beautiful autumn in Shanghai is all about!

Eat shrimps in summer and crabs in autumn ~ I love crabs so much! The store environment is clean and elegant, very suitable for dining with friends or dating with couples 【Wangfu Crab Meat Fin】 Full of crab meat + shark fin, almost overflowing As if the cost is free~ 【Mapo crab meat and river shrimp】 The chewy crab meat and large fresh river shrimps, combined with the Mapo cooking method, have a slightly spicy taste that stimulates your appetite! 【Steamed hairy crab】 Whether stir-frying or boiling, the classic steaming method is better than this. It retains the original flavor of the crab and tastes fresh, fragrant and delicious. 【Osmanthus ginger glutinous rice balls】 With stomach-warming ginger juice as the base, added with soft and glutinous rice balls, and sprinkled with fragrant osmanthus, this bowl is really the best! It's so satisfying to eat a hairy crab in autumn Not to mention this crab feast, it's so delicious that I almost fainted~ If you haven’t had it yet, go try it now!

Probably this is the coolest time I have eaten crabs. Now it is just the season. All the desserts except the last ones are related to crabs. Shanghai Crab King House, a good place for a full crab feast. The environment is very good, very old Shanghai style, you can hear the soft Shanghainese when you enter the store, and the exquisite life of Shanghai people is reflected. The crab body does not stick to the mud, commonly known as the clear water hairy crab, body big fat, green shell white belly, golden claw yellow hair, meaty creamy. Female crabs in September and male crabs in October have the best gonad development. Cooked and condensed, the female is golden yellow, and the male is like white jade, which tastes delicious. 800 per person, the starting point for a table package is 750.
