As me,had leave in shanghai for above two years already,And in my opnition,the most important thing of travel is accomodation.

Shanghai is not so big,but not small also,if you want to leave suitable you must know which place you have to choose at first.There are two big parts in shanghai---Puxi and Pudong.Atually,A big number of foreinger choose Puxi,because in Pudong area the shop or bar could offer you a nice night--life is really so pool.

And the second,you must make a budget price.and the more detail about the location which area is the best choice for yourself.I think you could get some information from your office or work place or something else.
If you choose the right place,the rental will help you to save a lot of money for you.

Here have some compounds in some diffirent area,and I think the price is lower then another poperty.

1.(Xujia Hui)Shanghai--May,you can take an apartment includ 3bedroom,2bathroom,trend decoration and modern funitures around 6500RMB per month.

2.(Shanghai indoor stadium subway station)YSYJ and Xuhui court,you can take an apartment inculd 2bedroom,2bathoom around 5000RMB per month only.

3.(Zhongshan park)New space,you can take a flat includ 1bedroom,kitchen and bathroom around 3900cny per month,but a little small---42Sqm together,but the location is really wonderful,because the exit 7 of line 2 just under this buildinig.I think it is advisable for single person.

etc.....
