Setting yourself up to do business in Shanghai
There are a variety of ways that you can get yourself ready to do business in Shanghai.
- To avoid expensive roaming charges, you can buy a pre-paid SIM card from most shopping malls and convenience stores, making it easier for colleagues in China to contact you.
- More and more public spaces in Shanghai are offering free Wi-Fi, including coffee shops and hotels. This makes doing business in the city very easy, although note that certain websites and social media are blocked in China, so check before you travel so you can work out how to best stay in touch with family and colleagues back home.
- Shanghai has an almost unparalleled range of hotels, many of them luxury, 5-star accommodation. These will have exceptional business services as well as opulent facilities such as spas, gyms and exclusive restaurants.
- Public transport in Shanghai is easily the best way to get around the city. If you’re there for a few days or more, it’s worth purchasing a Shanghai Jiaotong card, which can be used to pay fares on buses, the metro and even taxis. Alternatively you can book hire cars and chauffeur-driven limousines from the usual major rental services at the airport and other key locations.
Business and financial centres in Shanghai
The financial and business centre of Shanghai is Pudong. With a skyscraper-filled landscape, it’s a dazzling sight and is easily accessible by most public transport routes.
As you’d expect from China’s massive growth over the last few decades, Pudong is a bustling hive of activity with many international and multinational companies and banks based there.
Leisure and relaxation in Shanghai
If you’re looking for ways to spend your leisure time in Shanghai, check to see what races are being held at the Shanghai International Circuit. The Chinese Grand Prix is held there annually, but there are other high octane races throughout the year.
If tennis is more your sport, the Shanghai Masters is held here, but you can check to see what other matches and tournaments will be on during your stay.
Fine dining and shopping in Shanghai
Those who love luxury shopping will not be disappointed in Shanghai. The west end of Nanjing Road in particular is filled with high end boutiques within glittering malls where you can while away entire afternoons — or even days.
As you would imagine, the cuisine in Shanghai is predominantly Chinese - and it’s some of the best Chinese cuisine in the world. There are plenty of high quality restaurants to try, particularly in the business district of Pudong.
