Q:what do you recommend about shanghai? any cafe/book/old markets area that can be reached by metro?
A:
Cafe:boona(3 of them, 3 location); O2( by a magazine, Xinle rd near Shanxilan rd); Citizen (Jinxian rd near Shanxinan rd); Renjian restuarant&cafe ( a bit too dark, fushion, 2 location)
book:because u r not staying over the weekend(文庙 old books market), the only choice is Fuzhou rd, Renmin square station. My favorite is the small send-hand foreign bookstore (山西南路36号,near Fuzhou rd and Nanjingxi rd station)
there're no selector bookstore in shanghai~the most popular one is 季风书店, in Shanxinan rd station, underground
second-hand eletronics: Qiujiang rd虬江路, near Baoshan or Hailun rd station, i think this messy market is very inspirational for me~
if u want kind of souvirnir, go to 城隍庙(small goods, sometimes surprising) or 七浦路 ( fashion goods ) nearby. they're near Renmin square station
And the irish pub I mentioned: O'Malley's (42 Taojiang rd, near Hengshan rd, Hengshan rd station)
