Dear Mr. Saudim
Thank you very much for contacting Ruqin China Travel, and welcome to Shanghai in advance. It’s wonderful to hear that this will be your first visit to the city.
Staying 5 nights in Shanghai is a great choice and gives you enough time to explore the city, enjoy shopping, and experience local entertainment.
Where to Stay
For first-time visitors, I recommend choosing a hotel in Huangpu District, especially near The Bund or Nanjing Road. This area is very convenient for sightseeing, shopping, dining, and public transportation.

Getting Around – Shanghai Metro
Shanghai’s metro system is modern and easy to use. I suggest reading my guide: How to Take the Shanghai Subway , which explains routes, tickets, and useful tips.
