First off great website! I have been travelling to Shanghai for many years and the insight here is fantastic.
As state above I travel frequently to Shanghai on business and in most cases travel alone. I have been searching the web to look for female companionship for dinner and to check out the nightlife but what I am finding is “shady”. Any recommendations?
Hello Tom:
You can go to Malone`s American Bar in Shanghai Tongren Road, this place is very popular for western people in shanghai. You will find a lot of nice Asian girls there, but you should know that they don`t search for a boyfriend, but for a customer.so if you are just looking for a girl for a dinner or companionship, you can go to this bar and have a try.
Great info on website. Thanks. I have been traveling to China for many years and usually en p having free time on my hands in Shanghai. Or actually in Pudong where I stay. Always tough finding companionship other than the working hourlybgirls. Any ideas ? I am in China every other month so looking or some long trm friends. Thanks ! Scotty
Frankly speaking, it’s not an easy work to find a satisfying long term companion in short time in Shanghai. If you wanna get a long term companion you can attend some dating shows in Shanghai. If you are lucky enough you will get what you want.
