Testimonials

Dear China Holidays:

China Holidays is the perfect company to help with the full Chinese experience and holiday arrangements. It is difficult getting around in China if you don't speak Chinese and the guides and drivers are excellent. The Mecure hotel in Beijing is a very good, centrally located hotel and they have English speaking people at the reception/front desk. Throughout our trip everyone was very friendly and extremely helpful and courteous. We were so pleased to have met them all and to have had such wonderful experiences. .......

Maps

A good map of Shanghai will be a helpful compliment. Given the massive construction craze going on in the city, it's impossible to find an accurate map detailing all of the narrow (alleyways), but good maps can be found that provide the names of roads and major sites in Chinese characters, and English. The best local maps are found at Shanghai Foreign Languages Bookshop, detailed maps can also be found inmost hotel gift shops as well.

Newspapers, Magazines and Bookstores
Newsstands in Shanghai only feature two daily English newspapers, China Daily and Shanghai Daily and the weekly Shanghai Star. For international newspapers or magazines such as the Asian Wall Street Journal, International Tribune, Time or the Economist, head to the five star hotels. That’s Shanghai, Metrozine, Quo and Shanghai Walker (Japanese) are monthly magazinesthat provide detailed listings of ongoingevents and hot spots. They can found inmost venues that attract a large crowd offoreigners such as the main hotels,Starbucks and at most restaurants inXintiandi.

Fuzhou Road is the main nerve for bookshops in Shanghai. Here you can buy everything from basic Mandarin phrase books, to fashion magazines to the latest novels.
