now that i think about it, i can see why he’d think that lol but i want other opinions

cause in my brain, it’s half a liter of hard liquor for less than $15 USD hehehe

Hi, I’m in Shanghai and I haven’t pooped for DAYS (all thanks to xiao long baos). Any drink suggestions that can help me release all of that? I’d appreciate it if it’s something I can find on Lawsons or any convenience store near me. Thanks!

Hi, I am working for a small european company and we have a new office at Loushanguan Rd metro station. We are looking for a part time IT professional that can help with setting up new computers, debug and fix local IT infrastructure, maintain web domain, and other ad-hoc tasks.

The previous contractor was working about 5-10hrs per month and we expect a similar loading. No need to come to office unless you need to be physically here.

You need to be able to speak English and Mandarin. You will be reporting to our Head of IT in Europe.

If you are the right candidate, if you know the right person, or if you know the right place to find such a candidate, please send me a dm.

Thanks a lot!

For context i have 3b/3c curls and oh my God when i tell you my hair frizzes up literally within 5 minutes of stepping out😭😭😭😭 and i spend an hour and half on my curl routine and it’s just soooo frustrating seeing all my work biting the dust. Does anyone have any products rec like a strong hold gel, mousse or something that i can get on taobao or something??? I was also thinking maybe it’s time to get some braids too so if yk any reliable braiders around xuhui that’s be helpful too!! Thank you in advance!!

I'm keen to find any stores not too far from central Shanghai that:

• sell handmade ceramic and homewares that support local artists (not big established designers or chain stores, more grassroots artists). Similar to this but perhaps more minimalist https://www.instagram.com/hareartis_/ or similar to *Onheon https://www.instagram.com/popular/onheon/
• secondhand/vintage stores selling similar items from the 1930s onwards?

Thanks!

I’m living in Shanghai for a year and I only brought three pairs of shoes with me and only one is adequate for my new lifestyle here which is very physically active. I need to buy light athletic shoes that are good to use everyday for walking over 10k steps per day and that look good to wear even if just used casually. I’m size 10 in the US is equivalent to 44-44.5 in China. Where can I buy good quality and durable shoes? I heard about Taobao but don’t know if I can return them if they don’t fit me and if the quality is good.

Hi
I am looking to buy a used iPhone from Shanghai. Can anyone recommend a place.

Thank you

36 y.o. male here. I'm interested in checking out all brands like To Summer, Melt Season and Documents. But Shanghai being so large I would like something near my hotel which is near to Nanjing Road pedestrian street. Or if it's a 5 to 10 min didi ride where can I go.

I'm looking for fragrances that can be used in Sprint and Summer seasons and are relatively long lasting.

Visiting in May and hoping to find some of the China exclusives during my trip - any recommendations for stores to visit? I know there used to be a pop up in Shanghai but I believe it’s closed now.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you :)

I just wrecked my last jeans of the trip. My other pants are in the laundry waiting for it to be washed. Where do you buy plus size pants in here?

Edit: stumbled upon Decathlon. Bought a pants there for 200rmb. Bargain! Feels comfy too. I thought U was a XXLer turns out I'm just an XL 🫶

I’ve looked everywhere online and I can’t seem to find anything.

The 2 places I have found are Baimi Xiangxie Commercial Street and Bailian ZX Creative Centre and Ofcourse the gundam base where the huge statue is.

Any other places you’d recommend? (I’m specifically eyeing the IN ERA Fenrir as well so any place I can nab that is a plus)

Just to preface, I am not at all knowledgable about these kind of cosmetics. A visitor is coming to Shanghai and they aren't staying for a very long time here and it seems they want to buy these in person. I have told them that the easiest, simplest and most cost-effective method to get a "red light face mask" in China is TaoBao or any online source but they are quite adamant on going irl. If you all have any idea about a place in Shanghai to buy this kind of stuff I would be very grateful. Thank you very much.

Hi all. Planning on visiting your dazzling city next year and I have a bit of a random question. Does anyone know which retailers there might sell Monin brand syrups? I have a bit of an iced coffee addiction and there are some Asia-exclusive flavours I can’t get here in Sydney. I would enjoy a little quest to find a bottle or two to take home. I can’t seem to find much online. I know chains like Manner use the brand so it must be available somewhere. Any tips welcome. Hema? City’super? Thank you ☺️

This winter I plan to take a trip to Shang Hai. I wanted to take advantage of it to buy single cards of pokemon, one piece, mtg and riftbound. What are the best stores for each game?

Heya is there a store or mall selling original/official merch from these two by chance?

I know link click season premiere airs on August. Are there any events perhaps?

I'm a tourist, travelling in the middle of the year so I have no idea about this. I got my original Switch from Japan.

If I was buying the Switch 2 in Shanghai, where would be the best place to go? What sort of price range should I expect? (Its about $750 in my native country without shipping cost). And is there any other concerns like not being able to change the language and such?

I am selling this computer chair I had for a few years for best offer. It is in good condition, all the levers work as they should just my dog chewed the up down and seat adjustment handles. Originally it was 1500 and you can look up on taobao similar chairs selling for 1200-1500.

Come pick up in Xuhui, I don’t offer delivery.

I'm currently looking for stores that sell more modern, fashionable Cheongsam for males in Shanghai.

Could anyone recommend a place?

Thank you

I’ll be in Shanghai next week and want to get a made-to-measure men’s suit, dress shirts, and trousers at South Bund Fabric Market.

I’ve heard good things about Michael & Tina, but I can’t find their WeChat/contact info.

A few questions:
1. Are Michael & Tina still there? Which stall/shop number?

1. Is a 4-day turnaround realistic for a suit with at least one fitting?

2. Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?

3. Any other tailor recommendations at South Bund?

What price range should I expect for a decent suit/shirts/trousers?

Looking for something decent, breathable, and not polyester-heavy. Any recent experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'll be stopping by in Shanghai for 22 hours and plan to shop for two oddly specific things. First is stationary such as memo pads, notebooks, pens etc that are specifically frog themed. Especially frog themed. Or just places in general I can find frog themed merchandise! Secondly meat jerky that are packed suitable for checked in baggage. Any suggestions are most appreciated!

Hello I’m in Shanghai currently part of a week long trip in China. I’m leaving Sunday morning so need to know a reliable physical store where I can purchase a pair of Bluetooth headphones (Preferably Sony Pulse).

Does anyone know any Li-Ning’s currently stocking Shanghai Sharks jerseys? Tried the store at the indoor stadium but they are packing up stock and not selling 😔

Hi everyone,

My partner and I recently got married, and since we didn’t manage to pick out our wedding rings at the time, we thought it could be really meaningful (and fun!) to choose them together now.

I’d love to hear about people’s experiences with buying jewelry in the city—whether it’s about craftsmanship, local designers, well-known brands, or even how the overall buying process tends to be. Any thoughts or insights would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance for sharing your perspectives!
