Her blog focuses on her travels through \u201cAsia off the beaten path\u201d, specifically China. Richelle has been living in China for the last five years and travels around Asia as often as she can. \u201cMy goal is to show you that travel and life in Asia are more achievable than it may seem,\u201d said Richelle. \u201cWhether it\u2019s backpacking in Cambodia or learning to surf in the Philippines: you don\u2019t have to do what everyone else is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of Richelle\u2019s top tips is to avoid spending all your time in the tourist hot spots during your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/china\/\">holiday to China<\/a>. She said: \u201cSure, you\u2019ll probably want to visit the Bund, the Yu Yuan Gardens, Nanjing Road and Jing\u2019an Temple, but these places can be packed (especially on the weekends).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPersonally, I love wandering the French Concession (still a little touristy, but not quite as packed) and the local markets. Be sure to check out the Caojiadu Bird and Flower Market!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Dive into the local cuisine<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/chinesedumplings.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional Chinese dumplings in Shanghai\" width=\"625\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/chinesedumplings.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/chinesedumplings-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Chinese-dumplings.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"418\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to food in Shanghai, you\u2019ll struggle to find someone as in the know as Fred Lin of <a href=\"http:\/\/theshanghaikid.com\/\">The Shanghai Kid<\/a>. Fred launched his blog in 2013 as a hobby to document his dining experiences across the city. \u201cAs I began to write more, it became more of a restaurant review blog,\u201d said Fred, \u201cand I decided to inject my passion for learning about food, cooking and eating into it, along with providing honest unbiased restaurant reviews.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Fred\u2019s blog progressed, he started receiving invitations to the top restaurants in the city to write about them. As Fred lived in Shanghai for 11 years, we asked him about his top tips for visiting the city: \u201cTry the local Shanghainese food like Xiao Long Bao (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Restaurant_Review-g308272-d1015824-Reviews-Jia_Jia_Tang_Bao_Huanghe_Road-Shanghai.html\">Jia Jia Tang Bao<\/a> is my go-to), Sheng Jian Bao (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Restaurant_Review-g308272-d2035728-Reviews-Yang_s_Fried_Dumplings_HuangHe_Road-Shanghai.html\">Yangs Dumplings<\/a> or Da Hu Chun), Shanghainese Scallion Oil Noodles (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Restaurant_Review-g308272-d3482845-Reviews-Jian_guo_328_Xiaoguan-Shanghai.html\">Jian Guo 328<\/a>). Also some classic Shanghainese-style dishes at Jian Guo 328. Super old school sesame sauce tossed noodles at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Restaurant_Review-g308272-d9755451-Reviews-Wei_Xiang_Zhai_Yandang_Road-Shanghai.html\">Wei Xiang Zhai<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAfter trying the local food, go try some international restaurants, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.communesocial.com\/\">The Commune Social<\/a>, Highline, <a href=\"http:\/\/taian-table.cn\/\">Taian Table<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Restaurant_Review-g308272-d9796406-Reviews-WUJIE_Shanghai_SWFC-Shanghai.html\">Wujie<\/a>. The reason is because Shanghai is a big melting pot of international cuisines with the top chefs of their respective regions. Many people ask me why I feature more western cuisine than local Shanghainese cuisine in Shanghai \u2013 the reason is because local cuisine is only one small straw of the awesomely diverse F&amp;B haystack in Shanghai.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo don\u2019t be ashamed of eating Italian cuisine, French cuisine, Japanese cuisine or Modern American cuisine in Shanghai, because they are indeed very good, with most of these restaurants managed and cooked by their native chefs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4><em>Eat where the locals eat<\/em><\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSure, you can get the \u2018best xiaolongbao in Shanghai\u2019 right by the Yu Gardens, after you wait in line for an hour,\u201d said Richelle of Adventures Around Asia. \u201cWhy not get off the tourist trail and visit restaurants crowded with locals? The food will be better and much, much cheaper. You can also take a food tour (I love <a href=\"http:\/\/lostplate.com\/shanghai-food-tours\/\">Lost Plate<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/untourfoodtours.com\/shanghai-food-tours\/\">UnTour<\/a>) to get a good sample of local Shanghai cuisine.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Don\u2019t mix up your airports<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hongqiaoairport.jpg\" alt=\"Planes at Hongqiao airport in Shanghai\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hongqiaoairport.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/hongqiaoairport-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Hongqiao-airport-in-Shanghai.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With extensive experience in China and Shanghai, Richelle offered one vital piece of advice for first-time travellers: \u201cDon\u2019t mix up your airports! Shanghai has two major airports: Pudong and Hongqiao. Pudong is over an hour outside the city and is best reached by subway or the Maglev Train (a taxi is super expensive). However Hongqiao is actually in the city. I\u2019ve heard horror stories of people making assumptions as to which airport they\u2019re flying in and out of. Be sure to check before you book your ticket!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you follow these useful tips and plan your time wisely, there\u2019s no reason why you can\u2019t enjoy everything Shanghai has to offer. A blend of visiting tourist attractions and getting lost in the city is highly recommended to make the most of your China holiday.
