Best Time to Visit Shanghai
The best times to visit Shanghai are from March to May and September to October for comfortable weather and fewer crowds. Avoid Golden Week in October due to high travel volumes. August is hot and sticky, while winter is quieter and cheaper for hotels, though temperatures are lower. Consider visiting in winter on a tight budget, but bring layers to keep warm.

Ways to Save Money in Shanghai
To save money in Shanghai, book budget accommodation in advance, especially hostels near train stations, avoiding more expensive hotels near The Bund. Utilize the cheap public transport like the subway and buses. Save on food by shopping at local markets and supermarkets, and choosing local dishes over Western brands. Take advantage of free attractions like parks and The Bund, and visit more affordable paid attractions like Yu Gardens. For paid attractions, consider booking online deals in advance, such as Shanghai Disneyland packages that include private transfers.
