Did you check the hotel review section?

I feel the need to point out to Americans especially that the world is facing an environmental crisis and just because your country refuses to ratify Kyoto that does not mean you should require other countries to meet your demand for energy. We have a policy of restricting AC to 26 degrees at work (I slip to 25 at home as I come from a cool climate!). Hotels in China are working hard to raise their environmental awareness policies.

yep, it's very close to the wujiaochang commercial area with all kinds of shopping place, and it's close to 2 very famous universities in shanghai, but the location is not really good for travel around shanghai. during the rush hour i think the traffic is quite terrible since one bus i took during my entire university life needed to get through yangpu bridge from pudong, then wu jiao chang then my home...

Are you planning to visit Plaza Hollywood and Harbour City on the one day? I think you'd get awfully tired, if that was the case, as they're both in completely different locations!

i agree. often saw them buzzing around judys too and got left some awful bites in the morning...

There has been construction on the Bund. You can see the view to Pudong from the bridge at the north end of the Bund near the Astor Hotel (Pujiang Fandian).

You can also get a nice river view of the Bund from the other side of the river in Pudong.

Indoboyz, There will be no snow in the town itself. But there is snow on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain year round. Western New Year (1st January) Is not a big holiday in China. There is a bar street in Old Lijiang if you want to celebrate tho:) Liyen, As the previous posts say - the temp in Lijiang at this time of year is comfortable. Not too cold during the day, but it is cold at night. Yes the scenic places are still available.
