TIME OUT SHANGHAI(TimeOut城市指南——上海)

Book Description Shanghai is rapidly becoming the economic and cultural powerhouse not just of China, but also of all Asia. Recognized as the world's fastest growing city, it's a place where skyscrapers sprout weekly and where doing something immediately is considered sluggish. Boundless energy, technological advancement, and cash, cash, cash make Shanghai buzz like perhaps no other city in the world. The first edition of this Time Out guide is written by a team of resident experts and local journalists who have scoured Shanghai from the early morning farmers' market at Xiangyang to the clubs of Guandii at dawn to present the complete picture of this city in flux. The guide offers tips on cultural etiquette, expert recommendations of the best places to stay for every budget, and a complete guide to cuisine, including how to tell Cantonese from Chaozhou, and Shaoxing from Yangzhou.
