Shanghai offers a variety of charm that is so tempting for anyone who visited there, began the traditional culture of its inhabitants until the luxuries of modernity today. Shanghai is one of the city business in the State Bamboo Curtain. Shanghai economic progress have been advancing wheels of the city's tourism.
On the sidelines to see the Indonesian Pavilion at World Expo 2010 in October last, I took a tour of Shanghai City. I accompanied Gilang, a citizen of Indonesia (WNI) who has graduated from college and now works in the city of Shanghai. In fact, Gilang married a girl from Shanghai.
In addition to knowing the ins and outs of the city of Shanghai, fluency in spoken Mandarin Gilang very membantu.Maklum, not many residents of Shanghai who master the English language.
So, almost all communication using Mandarin. Shanghai is so magnificent. Lots of skyscrapers were built there. Shanghai as China's cities other is being kept to organize yourself. Its growth is so rapid, at least in the last 10 years.
China is also increasingly open and friendly to strangers. It's no exaggeration when the splendor of Shanghai has been equated with major cities in the world, like Paris (France), Tokyo (Japan), and Seoul (South Korea).
However, the rapid economic and technological advancement in Shanghai has not been matched by human resource people. One of them can be seen from the inadequate number of people there who master the English language.
Moreover, in terms of habit, there are still many people who spit at random. However, the Shanghai government's firmness in applying the rules and enforcing discipline has made "little short" is not a serious obstacle to the progress of Shanghai.
Upholding the rule in Shanghai have made the investment climate there was so advanced. Of course enforcement of these rules also make convenience for the tourists who visit there.
The Bund There are so many interesting places to visit in Shanghai. One of them is The Bund. This area is located in the heart of the city and is an iconic city of Shanghai. Yang Pu River about one kilometer wide dividing area of Shanghai, the Pudong and Pusi. On the river, tourists can ride the ship to enjoy the beauty of Shanghai City.
All ships are rotating in the region of The Bund. That's also what makes Shanghai so alive. The Bund area is characterized by the presence of a high tower called the Pearl Tower that looks unique. From the high tower of 80 levels of this, tourists can see from the above in greater Shanghai area.
"Like the Monas (National Monument) in Jakarta. So, tourists can go and ride to the Pearl Tower. In addition to enjoying a great view of Shanghai City from above, in it are also many restaurants serving a delicious menu, "says Martina, a student from Bali who went to Shanghai.
Do not want to climb the Pearl Tower, tourists can also enjoy the beauty of Shanghai by standing on one side of river. The scenery is equally beautiful. On the banks of the river that we can enjoy The Bund is so charming.
Grow beautiful scenery at night with various lights shining from the hundreds of buildings that lined both sides of river. Light emitted from the ships that pass in there also adds to this city life at night time.
Interestingly, near the Bund stood many buildings with distinctive architecture of Europe, like Germany, Britain and France. Understandably, Shanghai had become a bone of contention was the three European countries before the arrival of Japan to colonize China.
Besides the beautiful scenery, the appeal of Shanghai mainly on cleanliness. There is no garbage piling up in the street, no street hawkers (street vendors) selling wild on the roadside.
Everything is neat. Moreover, many city parks that are made available by the Shanghai Municipal Government. Likewise, the river water looks clean and free from rubbish. This is in stark contrast to the condition of rivers in Jakarta are dirty and smelly.
Others as well allure of Shanghai because the city has a very good transportation, modern, and inexpensive. Shanghai has subwayyang train connects all areas in the city of Shanghai. In addition, there are many city buses available to take passengers with reasonably priced rates.
For example, take the train subway charge 3 to 8 RMB RMB depending on the distance (1 RMB worth about Rp1.300). City buses that operate 24 hours, the charge is even cheaper than subway trains. If you have more money, too many taxis operating in Shanghai. Compared to Jakarta, taxi fares in Shanghai is a bit expensive. Once opened the door, the price is 12 RMB.
"However, if the above at 23:00 until 05:00, the tariff rises. Open the door, so 16 RMB. as well as from 2.4 RMB per kilometer during the day to 2.7 RMB if the night, "called Martina who was three years studying there.
Shanghai Residents and appreciate the friendly stranger after a variety of international events held in the city, such as World Expo 2010.
Moreover, the Shanghai Municipal Government continues to disseminate a variety of social or moral ad for its citizens and foreigners in order to remain comfortable in Shanghai.
For example, in the taxi was written guide for foreigners who do not speak Mandarin. It reads, If you have any problems connecting with taxi drivers, you May call the Shanghai Center for free assistance at 962 288. This is done because it is very rare taxi driver there who could speak English.
Shanghai is also widely available in rental cars for tourists. The price varies, depending on the type and class of vehicle rented. For example for the car type van, it costs about 1,500 RMB per 10 hours, the average sedan type 500-900 RMB per 10 hours.
