Transportation
Any means of transportation can take you to the Central Business District under 30 minutes from the house. Living facilities and amenities, such as hospitals, banks, supermarkets and restaurants are accessible around the community. Nevertheless, you can still enjoy a peaceful life in the community.
You are 5minutes’walk from Dachang Town Station大场镇站of metro line 7. 8minutes’walk from Xingzhi Road Station 行知站of metro line 7. 10 minutes’ walk from North Passenger Transportation Bus Station You can get to Shanghai Railway Station within 30 minutes, and Shanghai South Railway Station with 1 hour by any means of transportation. You can get to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport within one hour and Pudong Int'l Airport within one and a half hour.
After you find your own apartment, the first thing you should do is to register at the police station that polices your neighborhood. This must be done within 24 hours (in some cases within 3 days is allowed as well).
Please take your rental contract and passport. You can ask your buddy to go with you to the police station. After this procedure, you will get a ―Registra�on Form for Temporary Residence‖, which is required if you want to extend your visa. You will be fined if you don’t register in time.
This registration must be done after each entry to China. So if you travel to other countries during your stay here, you need to go to the police station and register again. Also, if you move to new apartments, new registration is needed as well.
The climate of Shanghai belongs to the north subtropical marine monsoon climate, with four distinct seasons. Winter in Shanghai tends to be clammy and gray. Although the temperature rarely dips below freezing point, the humidity causes a penetrating cold. Spring shows its first signs in late March. The rainy season appears in late May and continues through June. Summer sees hot weather, with high humidity.

Be the best choice to save money (but at the cost of time). The price and time vary among different types of trains. You should check that out carefully.If you have some plan to travel around China by train, please make sure that you buy the tickets on an early date. You can buy a train ticket only at 10 days at most before the date on the ticket. This is even more important if you want to travel during the May holiday, National holiday or the Spring Festival, because all the people in China will be traveling around, and it is very hard to get a ticket.
