Shanghai Old Street




Another famous spot in Shanghai is Old Street. It's a street of shops and it's a great place to pick up all kinds of souvenirs. The streets are lined with food and loud and aggressive vendors trying to persuade you to come into their shops. Be prepared to be harassed and to bargain for what you want. Another thing to be prepared for is the lack of taxis leaving Old Street. It takes forever to find a taxi, and if you do, be aware that you'll literally have to fight others to get a seat. My friend and I waited so long for a taxi, that we finally ventured into a rickshaw...more details to follow...haha!
