Around People's Square or Nanjing Road is the most convenient: walk to the Bund, with many metro lines.
- People's Square – Nanjing Road: central, great shopping, rooms at all prices.
- The Bund: Huangpu River views, beautiful but pricey.
- Jing'an: upscale and calm, lots of cafés.
- Former French Concession: leafy streets and old villas, great for strolling.
- Pudong (Lujiazui): near the Oriental Pearl Tower and skyscrapers; see the Bund from across the river.
Note: stay near metro Line 2, which runs straight to both Pudong and Hongqiao airports.
