Where to Stay in Shanghai The Magic City of China?
Where to stay in Shanghai is a big question for anyone when traveling to this fantastic magic city. After visiting a historical place or any tourist corner through walk or Bus, Car or Train, our body gets exhausted and stressed a lot and sometimes we ache our whole body. At that time the body only searches for a comfortable place to take rest. Our eyes closed with relaxation and peace after lying on the bed and unknowingly thankful to our Creator.
When I travel anywhere, my first priority is to find out a hotel with safe convenient transportation from the desired location and affordable prices, so that I can move easily.
After roaming around the whole day at the evening a tourist needs a safe and cozy place to stay for taking rest and having meals to recharge himself for the next day tour.


Though there are 3 standard hotels- 3 to 5-star hotels, mid-range hotels, cheap range hotels. From my own experience, I think this cheap range of hotels is not so cheap.

It is a very hard thing to find a reasonable place (close to the traveling area) to stay during travel. Because all the tourist areas are very expensive to stay.
