Shanghai Secrets WELCOME Dear Parents, The Friends of Dulwich Committee is pleased to present the 2019–2020 edition of Shanghai Secrets: your guide to finding what you need in Shanghai. It isn’t an exhaustive list, but it is a great start if you’ve just moved to Shanghai (and even if you’ve lived here for a few years you may find something new!). We start our guide off with ‘Must-Haves’, which includes helpful numbers, apps and a few websites for guidance. We then follow on with our ‘A–Z of Shanghai’. This is a comprehensive listing of all the places that we believe will make your transition to life here a little easier. We hope you’ll settle in Shanghai faster by using this knowledge. It has been assembled from many different sources over a number of years. And we look forward to hearing about any updates you might have for next year’s edition. Good luck with your adventure in Shanghai and, from your Friends of Dulwich community, WELCOME! Yours truly, Friends of Dulwich Committee 2 CONTENTS SHANGHAI SECRETS ......................................................................................................... 1 2019 – 2020
