Riassunto:

This opening fold-out contains a general map of Shanghai to help you visualize the 6 large districts explored in this guide, plus a wealth of practical information, handy tips and detailed maps to enable you to get the swing of the city.

Discover Shanghai through 6 districts and 6 maps

Bund (Waitan)/ Nanjing Donglu
Renmin Guangchang/ Nanjing Xilu/ Zhabei
Old Town (Nanshi)
Huaihai Lu/ Fuxing Lu/ Xujiahui
Hongkou
Pudong

For each district there is a double-page of addresses (restaurants — listed in ascending order of price — cafés, bars, tearooms, music venues and stores) followed by a fold-out map for the relevant area with the essential places to see (indicated on the map by a star *). These places are by no means all that Shanghai has to offer but to us they are unmissable. The grid-referencing system (AB2) makes it easy for you to pinpoint addresses quickly on the map.

Transportation and hotels in Shanghai
The last fold-out consists of a transportation map and 4 pages of practical information that include a selection of hotels.

A thematic index lists all the sites and addresses featured in this guide.

Recensione:

The Washington Post says, “The map guide lets you be inconspicuous: it’s as small and light as a novella, and its flip-out maps could pass as a flyer to a cool club.”

“Make sure you never lose your way in a strange city. Each of the Knopf MapGuides captures its city’s pith in a package as small as a passport wallet...”– Real Simple

“Knopf MapGuides are handy, practical and perfect for those of us who are slightly impaired when it comes to map-reading. You don’t have to search a huge crackling sheet with a microscopic index for one of 10,000 dots on the map...The extraordinary quality of the books’ beautiful hues and heavy paper also give these $8.95 guides an evocative quality that stands apart from the glossy, garish look of most travel books.” – Marin Independent Journal

“A good, handy portable item for a quick trip” – San Francisco Chronicle

“We love Knopf’s smart new map guides.” – Travel & Leisure
