Shanghai Info

I can't answer all your questions, but I can tell you that the Minhang District is convenient to the FFC and travel by metro is quick, safe and cheap. Travel by taxis is inexpensive, can be slow with crowded roads ans is usually safe, but I try no to look at how my driver is driving. I am in corporate paid housing so Ican't answer your questions abiut housing. Good luck!

Hi,

Welcome to Shanghai!

As the payment of the internship, it's not very low because some internship openings are unpaid and the internship period is normally from 3 months to 6 months. I think it would better for you to consider it as daily allowance, I couldn't tell you whether it's enough to live on 4000 RMB as a monthly salary. The living cost could be expensive or cheap, it all depends on your living budget & habit. 

Minhang distance is not very far from French concession, it's very easy and cheap to travel by metro, especially in the rush time. You'd better to get a transportation card, it could save some money if you do the inter exchange.

As far as I know, many foreigners gather in Xin Tian Di and French concession. Tian Zi Fang is considered as one of the best place to visit, you can meet some expats and find some local shops.
