Hello, this is Ron!
This time, we have compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (Q&A format) for those who are planning a trip to Shanghai.
From how to choose airline tickets and hotels to how to pay locally and what to look out for when sightseeing, we will introduce you with our actual experiences.
In this blog, “Future Atlas by Ron,” I write realistic travel diaries of the places I have visited based on my experience of traveling to more than 15 countries, as well as my impressions and insights from my travels.
I usually travel on my days off while working full time in Tokyo, and I am active in my efforts to share the charm of international travel with everyone.
