Città Espresso Club, Shanghai
With its minimalist architecture and interior design, soft jazz playing over the speakers, a very pleasant ambiance and excellent coffee, Città Espresso Club in Shanghai is definitely a must-go for any coffee enthusiast.

In Shanghai, post-Hefei
Captain Hostel is a more luxurious hostel than I’d expected. It’s not exactly cheap for a hostel—we’re paying CNY 55/night—but the rooms, sleeping 7 or 8 each, are very clean. The staff friendly and cooperative, not to mention able to speak English (for the most part).
