destinations in Shanghai I will use the metro. The metro in
Shanghai is very inexpensive at around $0.37 round trip. In
addition, the station names are in English, as well as Chinese,
making the language barrier less of an obstacle. Some foreigners
avoid the subway because of the risk of getting pick-pocketed but
if you are aware the risk is decreased.

basketball games.
