"This was my third trip to Shanghai. I initially planned for a week, but ended up staying three! (I gained 6 pounds from all the eating, drinking, and leisurely strolling in Shanghai. [chuckle]) I convinced my friend from Nanjing to visit, and under my strong recommendation, she tried a youth hostel for the first time. She gave positive feedback too!
Accommodation in Shanghai is a bit pricier than other places, but other expenses are quite similar. So, staying at this hostel was truly a great value for money. I was comfortable during my stay, and any minor issues were resolved. The location is excellent; I stayed at the Yu Garden branch, which is about a 20-minute walk to the bustling Yu Garden, The Bund, and Nanjing Road. (Actually, the popular restaurants on Nanjing Road walking street often serve mass-produced, low-quality food. I ordered dumplings that were advertised as handmade, but they were just the cheapest frozen kind!) It's like how many famous commercial streets, like Jiefangbei in Chongqing or Chunxi Road in Chengdu, have quite disappointing food options. [facepalm emoji] Instead, I recommend checking out Ximeng Wet Market for local snacks and pastries, crispy fried meat, or walking four minutes from the hostel to Xiangbawang Local Cuisine Restaurant on Huangjiaque Road – it's like a 'senior's cafeteria' with wontons and Northeastern dumplings. The prices are affordable, and there's a wide variety of dishes to choose from. Local eateries are definitely much tastier. Dengba Youth Hostel has several branches in Shanghai. Once, when I was heading back, I accidentally navigated to the one near the train station, and I thought, 'Wait, this isn't right...' Hehe! 😈
People from all over the world gather here for travel, work, study, and life... This place offers a comfortable space for everyone. Thank you for all the conveniences you provide. I was also lucky to have great roommates. Some even gave me apples, lollipops, and snacks – it's so heartwarming to receive gifts from others! I paid attention to the details and saw a variety of interesting, quiet, upright, generous, sincere, hardworking, and cheerful lovely people here. As the saying goes (paraphrased): the 'you' you know isn't the real you; the 'you' others know isn't the real you; the 'others' you know are the real you. I love Shanghai and will definitely visit again, hopefully without gaining more weight! [doge emoji]"
