If you only need Internet access, you can buy them directly at the booths, but only directly operated business halls can provide Real-name authentication, this plan is to apply for a real-name-authenticated phone card before the UnionPay card that provides a real-name authentication mobile phone number can be applied. Therefore, instead of buying a phone card at an airport or a small telecommunications bank, go directly to the telecom company’s direct sales office to apply for it. .

Yongan Department Store at the starting point of the pedestrian street has The status of historical relics, ranked among the four major Chinese-owned department stores of Shanghai First, Yongan, Xinxin, and Dah Sing in the past. It was also the place where the first red flag was raised during the liberation of Shanghai that year, and it is here to announce the end of the era of luxury consumption. Quite historical irony.

When I first walked on the Shili Beach, when I thought about Shanghai Beach where many countries gathered, I saw many international brand stores next to the corresponding style of Chinese brand storefronts. By contrast, it is quite interesting in Shanghai Beach’s Sino-Ocean confrontation, but it is not. I saw Xiaomi’s home next to the Apple store, but the clothing and catering in the Chinese shopping malls are not separated by separate floors. I am not used to walking around. Instead, I prefer to go to Nanjing Road and alleys to find food.

▲ The Bosideng store in Manhattan Plaza specializes in all kinds of down jackets, and the target is Canada Goose.

Many areas have been transformed into cultural and creative parks, such as Tianzifang, Xintiandi, 1933 Laochangfang, M50 Creative Park, Jianguo Road No. 8 Bridge, etc. , We took a taxi to Tianzifang early in the morning and visited Xintiandi on the way back. Both are parks famous for Shikumen architecture. Finally, we came to the Bund to enjoy the night view. Unfortunately, there are very few illuminated buildings on holidays, but we turned to Nanjing East Road for a walk from the Bund. , But fully experience the lively shopping atmosphere of the pedestrian street.

Created as a shopping mall with a European style, Nanli is relatively small, next to Xintiandi Nanli Plaza and Xintiandi Fashion Mall, Beili and Nanli are bounded by Xingye Road, and the center is the memorial hall of the first National Congress of the Communist Party of China. .

Shanghai’s unique Shikumen architectural style is a fusion of traditional Jiangnan houses and British traditional townhouses. It has the characteristics of combining Chinese and Western styles. It is also a cultural image that witnesses the history of Shanghai’s modern concession. Xintiandi and Tianzifang are the most famous. However, Xintiandi has broad roads and modern styles when international boutiques, restaurants, and shopping malls are stationed. However, if Tianzifang retains the traditional Shikumen architecture, Tianzifang is the first choice.

 

 

 

[Night view of the Bund]

The east bank of Shanghai’s Huangpu River is the Pudong skyline where skyscrapers gather, and the west bank is the World Architecture Exposition Group with classical architecture. Together with the cruise ships on the river and the bridge piers across the water, the beautiful night view of the Huangpu River is formed.

We only wanted to pack the buns at the entrance of the arcade and return to the hotel. We only walked to the wide dining area on the second floor when the staff reminded us. The restaurant sells freshly steamed meals in the arcade, attracting customers with fragrance. It is quite clever to make up for the shortcomings of the restaurant on the second floor.

Since 2017, major banks in China have restricted Taiwanese from providing employment certificates, income certificates, and residence certificates in China before opening an account under the consideration of anti-money laundering and other financial controls.

It can open bank accounts for tourism and Internet services, and carry Taiwan ID cards with Taiwan residents to travel to and from the mainland/residence permit , You can open an account at Fubon Hua.

Wendy has always liked experimenting with various network services. While visiting the Bund where banks are crowded, he stopped by Fubon Huayi's Bund Sub-branch. Sure enough, with his Taiwan ID card and mainland passport, the staff asked about the use and work situation and confirmed It is for me to provide a real-name verified China Unicom mobile phone number, and successfully apply for a UnionPay card, which can not only open many Chinese network services, but also bind Apple Pay. The official instructions can also bind the Taiwan mobile phone number, but Currently, only Alipay services can be bound.

We arrived at Yuyuan Mall in the evening. Shopping was crowded and there were many food choices, but there were also a lot of people lined up at popular stores. If you want to follow the popular food, you have to spend a lot of time in line. Xiaolongbao and Tangyuan are delicious, but they are quite famous. The soup is filled with crab roe. The soup is quite salty and the skin is dry and hard, which is not very suitable for Wendy's taste.

[Are you hungry, takeaway platform experience]

China has two major online food ordering platforms, Ele.me and Meituan Waimai. Ele.me is affiliated with Alibaba.

For Taiwanese, Alibaba’s Taobao, Alipay, Are you hungry and other network services have low barriers to use , Tencent mainly pays with UnionPay cards, with a higher threshold.

When staying at W Hotel on the Bund, the counter staff originally informed the hotel that there are no age-restricted bars, but when I took a small hamburger to the hotel in the evening, I was directly refused admission and felt boring, so I could only go back to the room to enjoy the night view. When I remembered that I saw a food delivery person at the entrance of the restaurant, and I had a UnionPay card in my hand, I immediately tried to use Are you hungry to order barbecue and beer, and I succeeded in ordering the meal, and I ordered 5 for the first time. Discount, although the hotel stipulates that you have to go downstairs to pick up your meal, but it is also a joy of life to be able to enjoy barbecue with beer and beautiful views in the room.

I planned to live in Hongqiao on the last two days before the trip. I wanted to visit the ancient towns of Qibao and Zhujiajiao nearby. However, the weather was too cold, so I simply abandoned the trip to Zhujiajiao Ancient Town and took a small burger to the indoor mall. Later, I remembered the Lego Discovery Center temporarily.

Therefore, using Didi Chuxing for the entire journey, and bound to Alipay and WeChat Pay, is no problem.When I went to Shanghai this winter, the number of warm clothes was increased to two suitcases. In addition to the baby stroller, the gift orange car was given priority when changing the hotel. The model space was large, and the driver and the hotel service staff would handle the suitcases together. We relax a lot.

If you want to pay with credit cards in shopping malls and restaurants, you can ask Whether it is possible to pay with a foreign card.

China UnionPay has been monopolizing the Chinese credit card market for a long time. Organizations such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express can only handle non-RMB foreign currency transactions. After the WTO ruled China's illegal and free competition regulations in 2012, China issued credit card clearing management regulations and application procedures in 2017. International credit card organizations all filed applications in the same year, but they are still under pressure to establish joint ventures with Chinese companies. China is still dominated by the UnionPay card exchange network, and both Chinese merchants and ATMs can accept UnionPay cards.
