The big circles around shanghai are a completely different beast than just "major road". Just like Paris "périphérique" is in a league of its own.
I've had a 6h foot walk just 2 days ago in shanghai (inside the first circle, travelling all around the city), and i can tell you the amount of dust i inhaled was nothing compare to what i'm feeling when i walk inside Paris. Now maybe CNY is a huge factor indeed, unfortunately i won't be there anymore to see for myself... All i can say then is that it's a great time to visit the city ! :)
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoI've been to SH plenty of time and I know about the ring road topology (same as Beijing actually). But if you look at the map, it just gets worse, not better, as you get farther from the center. CNY is a great time to visit Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, since people there either (a) go home (they aren't locals) or (b) go on vacation somewhere else far away. CNY practically lasts longer than the official golden week, so traffic is light as well.
