Product Description
Shanghai is in the throes of a rapid metamorphosis as it constructs and remodels for the Expo 2010. Written by journalists who live in Shanghai, this guide takes visitors past the tourist traps to the best, most stylish buys in bijou boutiques, big-name designer outposts, and teeming street markets. The Times (London) picked the previous edition as the best guidebook to Shanghai, and this edition improves it with expanded information on where to stay and eat — a must with scores of new hotels and restaurants opening.

Not useful November 13, 2009

This book has some interesting information about Shanghai, but is not a useful travel book.
There is zero information about dangers and common scams. I am an experienced world traveler, but was stung by a scam in Nanjing Road area. I searched the web and found plenty of information after the fact. This is why I buy travel books first - I expect some practical information. This book specifically says that crime is not a concern.
There is no real guidance as to what someone should see given limited time. This is an enormous city and everything is new. I found the Oriental Pearl Tower a good starting point to take in the scope of the city. I also learned to avoid the subway trains during rush hour - they are insanely crowded - beyond most Westerners' comfort level - this is information that is not in the book.
I can't say that any other books are better since I only read this one.
