Other Tips

In October, the prices of attractions and hotels in Shanghai may be higher than usual, so you should find out about the prices in advance and be ready for crowds in attractions. In order to prevent skin drying, put on some skin-care cream. If your lips are dry, do not wet your lips with your tongue. Use lipstick or lip salve to keep the lips moist.

Bring some commonly used items, such as band-aid, alcohol sponge, anti- inflammation medication, and sulfanilamide powder. You can also use a silk scarf to protect yourself against the wind.
