Privy, a private travel network focused on Asia, is harnessing the power and expertise of their exclusive social network to launch "Privy 5" Transpacific City Guides. And just in time for World Expo 2010, Privy introduces their inaugural guide: "Privy 5 Shanghai Guide," an online guide that includes over 30 "top five" lists highlighting the best the city has to offer. The complete guide can be accessed at: http://www.privy.net/shanghai/
The comprehensive guide highlights150 “must visit” places to eat, drink, stay, play, shop & relax during the World Expo in Shanghai. Shanghai is the first city in a series of Privy 5 Guides which will eventually include Beijing, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, New York, Seoul and Tokyo. Shanghai, China's largest and most cosmopolitan city in China, boasts a myriad of restaurants, high-end stores, and extravagant clubs and lounges which can be daunting to navigate for first-time visitors.
Privy Founder/CEO Stephen Liu adds: "While there are many online city guides targeted at backpacker types, we felt there was a need for a savvier, true insider's guide to the city. In preparing the guide, we were also able to take advantage of the fact that many of our members are bi-cultural executives or Asia travel enthusiasts whom are either based in Shanghai or travel there frequently."
Culled from an exclusive network of executives and key influencers, the guide organizes the city into a series of "top five" lists, some of which include:
Privy 5 Romantic Restaurants
Privy 5 Places to get a Foot Massage
Privy 5 French Restaurants
Privy 5 Bars with a View
Privy 5 Shanghainese Cuisine
Privy 5 Places to See
Privy 5 Sichuan Food
