First time traveling abroad alone, chose Shanghai.

After searching for information on countries that women can travel alone, it is safe and convenient to travel, finally we concluded that we will go to Shanghai, China 🎉 We booked all flights and accommodation through Trip. The price is very good. Fly with Thai Airways both ways. The flight departs at 00.30, arriving at Shanghai Pudong Airport at 05.45, taking a little over 1 hour to go through immigration. Since the Meglev opens at 7 am, we chose to take the Metro all the way to East Nanjing, where we are staying. It takes 01.03 minutes. I'm not sure how much it costs, but it's very cheap. After arriving at East Nanjing, a small woman who is not good at looking at maps walked around looking for a place to stay for a long time. Finally, I decided to walk up to the police officer in an orange vest standing at the crosswalk to ask for help. I just wanted to ask for directions, but he walked me to the hotel sign. It was my first impression of coming to China. When I saw the hotel sign, I thanked him. When I came back, I was alone again. I searched for the way up to the hotel. The hotel we were staying at was called Weiting Hotel, on the 7th floor. When I saw the hotel sign, there was an elevator, so I pressed it. At that time, it was still early, the staff would let us check in at 2 pm. We left our bags and went for a walk around there. We didn't plan anything for this trip because we just wanted to relax. We would go to whatever was nearby when we had time left. So it was quite a chill trip. And since I'm a picky eater, I tried a restaurant that Thai people said was delicious, but it still wasn't delicious, lol. So we spent very little on food on this trip, choosing to eat snacks instead. But the best thing that we really liked and ate repeatedly was the grilled skewers with mala powder in Khao Pai and drinks from CHAGEE. The tea in China is very weak. Drinking it before bed made me sleep well. We stayed in China for 5 days, so we covered East Nanjing because it was in front of the hotel. There were so many shops that we could walk around every day. On the last day, the flight was at 5:25 pm. We walked around East Nanjing in the morning and shopped for clothes at W.management. The clothes were cute and very good quality. The price was around 500-2,000 baht. If anyone comes, don't forget to stop by. The fitting room staff can speak English. Finally, we have a plan to go back again because we have a holiday. We are addicted to snacks at HOT MAXX supermarket. They are very delicious. This time, we brought a little, so we will go back to make up for it.
