Hi Ms. Quynh,

I'm quite familiar with the area around People's Square, and there is a Phoenix Hostel at 17 South Yunnan road. I have never stayed there, but I can say that the area is very central...perfect for shopping and has great restaurants & transportation connections.

Ms. Quynh - I almost forgot to say...that if this is your first time visiting China you will love Shanghai. The food is fantastic and the weather in Sept/Oct is usually very comfortable..its my favorite time to be there! So enjoy!

Tks Ms.Dreamlife

Hi Eric, tks for the advice. I plan to stay at Phoenix but couldn't find it's email, so may book via hostel operator website.

Hello there,

Really want to stay at Phoenix hostel as good price and location but most of hostel websites indicate that there's no room left on the dates i'm in Shanghai so is there anyone can help me to find that Phoenix's website so that I can book directly?

Tks very much

Ms Quynh,
Did you ever find the direct email address?

I could find some hostels' but not sure those are good places to stay in town. That's why keeping looking around. Anyway, finally booked already
Shanghai: Mingtown
Hope i make a right choice.
Tks Eric

Ms. Quynh,
What days are you going to be in Shanghai? Even though the Phoenix may be unavailable, the Mingtown Hostel is also in a great location! It is very near Peoples Square just behind the JW Marriott hotel. Plus the weather should be good in Sept...I'm going to be there myself on business during this time and am looking forward to the good weather and good restaurants. You can let me know if you need any more info.

Ms. Quynh - The Mingtown is in a great location...very near Peoples Square and some very good restaurants. I'll be staying in this same area during September for business...and looking forward to the good food & shopping.

Ms. Quynh,
I recently asked one of my local Shanghai co-workers about the Mingtown Hostel...they thought it has a pretty good place and mentioned the good location. Overall should be a good choice.
