Shanghai Hotline

I have already been talking about Sherpa where you give a call and order your food from many different restaurants and get it delivered.

Similarly, I have already been talking about Guanxi (85887), which is that number to which you send, by text message, the name of the restaurant/bar that you want the address of (preceded by the number 2).

But now I have also discovered the Shanghai Hotline where you call to ask any information you want as such as the best Shanghainese restaurant in town or the places where you can buy pet food near your home… This is provided for free by the Chinese government and is serving both in English and Chinese yet mainly targeted for tourist. By calling the 962288 you should be able to get any information you want and quickly. This is the kind of number you’ll never have with you when you actually need it so just take good note of it and save it into your mobile.
