Beleive or not, this is probably the cheapest hotel in Jing'an District, RMB198 which is around USD30, you get a big and clean room, right in the residential area make your sleep easier.

In the morning, I prefer to walk down to the local lane near the market, the food stands serve great Shengjian mantou (also known as the shengjianbao outside the Jiangnan region) is a type of small, pan-fried baozi which is a specialty of Shanghai. It is usually filled with pork and gelatin that melts into soup/liquid when cooked. Shengjian mantou has been one of the most common breakfast items in Shanghai since the early 1900s. As a ubiquitous breakfast item, it has a significant place in Shanghainese culture. When Shengjian served with soybean sauce, it comes out as my great breakfast. Local bus route 765 could also bring us to other spots like Zhongshan Park, only cost 2 kuai. As I am not a picky but price sensitive person, Joyage would always be my first choice when travelling there.

Staff were nice, minimal noise, close to a subway station. Safe surroundings.

“Great value, good location”

Huge clean room with excellent bedding and lots of hot water--less than $30 booked on line. It's located in a residential area, fairly quiet, but with great metro access to everywhere. Not much English spoken by staff.
