4、ity, handles international and some domestic flights. An ultramodern structure of glass and steel, it is linked to central Shanghai through the worlds first maglev train (磁力悬浮火车 ). The train whizzes along at speeds about 270 mph (daily, 8:30am-5:30pm; 80 yuan) but deposits you on the eastern side of

5、 the city (Longyang Road Station). Thats a 25-minute taxi ride into downtown Shanghai. It is faster, ironically, to arrange for your hotel to send a car, or to take a taxi straight from the airport. Ignore the touts (兜售者 ) and go to the furthest exit to the right hand side of the arrivals hall, wher

6、e there is an official taxi stand. Taxis to downtown Pudong (east of the river) will take 40 minutes and cost about RMB110. Taxis to the city centre, known as Puxi (west of the river), take an hour and cost RMB150. Hong Qiao Airport Tel: +86 (0) 21 6268 8918-2 Just 19km west of the centre, Hong Qiao

7、 is the older and more central of Shanghais two airports. It handles domestic flights only; you may land here if youre coming from Beijing. In Arrival Hall B, there is a tourist centre (open daily, 10:00am-9:30pm) providing maps and hotel bookings. An ATM that accepts foreign cards is in Arrival Hal

8、l A. Taxis wait to the far left of the terminal exit; its a 30-minute ride into the city centre (allow 50 minutes to reach Pudong). Beat the jet lag(飞行时差反应 ) Banyan Tree The Westin Bund Centre 88 Henan Zhonglu Tel: +86 (0) 21 6335 1888 Metro (地下铁道 ): Henan Li This branch of the successful Asian chai

9、n is without question Shanghais glitziest spa (游乐胜地 ). Located in the Westin hotel, Banyan Tree offers massages (按摩 ), facials and the like, in a particularly luxurious environment. Every treatment room has its own shower and steam room, and some are designed to reflect different elements of fire, e

10、arth, water and air. Prices here are relatively high for China: a two-hour body scrub and massage will set you backRMB1100 ($130). Magpie Massage 685 Julu Lu Tel: +86 (0) 21 5403 3867 Metro: Shanxi Nanlu Open: daily, noon 2:00am This is an excellent place to come for a Chinese-style massage. Its als

11、o much better value (RMB190 for an hour-long massage). If you visit with friends or colleagues, youll need to specify if you want a private room on your own, since its common in China to place several beds in one large room. Many of Chinas masseurs (男按摩师 ) are blind. The government matched them to t

12、he profession, reasoning that visually impaired people have limited career options and greater sensitivity to touch. Business etiquette (礼节 ) Language is the biggest challenge for most foreign visitors to Shanghai-most locals know just a handful of English words. Bring a phrase book with you (and po

13、int to the relevant words and Chinese characters), and ask staff at your hotel to write down addresses for taxi drivers. Chinas business culture puts far more importance on personal connections than it does on laws and regulations. “Make friends, then business“ is a favorite saying. Guanxi (connecti

14、ons) are vital. In business negotiations, expect the representatives of a Chinese firm to enter the room in order of seniority(资历 ). The normal greeting involves shaking hands with everyone in the group. Public interactions between men and women are very reserved. After an initial handshake, avoid b

15、ody contact and be courteous, but restrained. A largely successful Communist campaign has been to give women equal status to men. Foreign women are (mostly) accepted on equal terms in the work place and should feel quite safe walking around the city. Business cards are exchanged at breakneck speed.

16、On receiving one, use both hands and read it immediately. Be sure to offer yours in return. Cards with your name and job title printed in Chinese on the reverse are useful. Ask a kind Chinese person to select a good name for you. Mainland characters are different from those used in Hong Kong and Tai

17、wan, so be specific if you have them printed in your local Chinatown. Do not underestimate the concept of losing face. Arriving late, causing embarrassment, confrontational behavior (面对面对质 ), or calling attention to a mistake can all cause loss of face. This is potentially dangerous for a business r

18、elationship. If a Chinese person has misunderstood you, or cannot (or does not) want to answer a question, they may laugh to cover their embarrassment. Try not to get agitated (激动的 ). Chances are youll get an answer later. “It is not convenient“ is a polite way of saying that something is impossible

19、 or very difficult. Better not to force the issue. Ask later, after the person has spoken with a superior. Dont be nervous by long silences-these are an important part of Chinese communication. But note that silence can also be used to unnerve a negotiating opponent. Personal space is not highly reg

20、arded in China: expect people to get quite close to you, and even barge (与 相撞 ) into you. “Dressdown Fridays“, or casual office wear, have not caught on in China. A suit and tie is the norm. The Chinese are fiercely proud of their culture, and sensitivities can be easy to ignite. Dont bring up Taiwa

21、n, Tibet (西藏 ) or human rights and tread carefully when discussing Chinas burgeoning (萌芽 ) Westernization. Business hours Business hours in Shanghai are very much those you would find in the West. Office hours are Monday-Friday, 9:00am-5:00/6:00pm (some close for an hour at lunchtime). Some offices

22、also maintain limited Saturday hours. Banks follow similar hours. Department stores typically open every day, 10:00am-10:00pm. Chinese restaurants tend to open and close early (11:30am-2:00pm and 5:00-9:30pm), international restaurants stay open later. Note that dinner in China is usually eaten earl

23、y, from 5:30pm. Crime and safety Shanghai is remarkably safe, and even women travelers are able to walk around alone without fear of interference.
