Q: Outside the concrete jungle

Anyone know of any quiet places in the countryside around Shanghai worth going to?  I don't want tourist traps or mountains with man made concrete steps up them. I want proper countryside.   The weathers nice now and I want to get out of the city and away from the crowds.

Mmmm. Not sure about the area right around Shanghai, but I know around HAngzhou ther's a ton of hiking and mountains to get into if that's what you mean by countryside. And even the tourist trap areas have their particular draws. Walk 500m- 1km from the draw and you'll find your solace Smile! Happy searching!

There's a popular thing called 'Nong jia le' which means happy farm. Hahahaha they are usually 1-2 hrs outside of Shanghai. What it is, you book a coutry side villa, and it's enough for 10 people. The more people go, the more cheap it is, ie it's 1000 yuan, so even if it's 5 people or 10 people, the price stays the same.
Here is a site you can have a look at, www.ssddf.com

This includes them cooking food grown on the farm from you :) sorry the site is in Chinese ... But they have some pictures :)

Not sure about Shanghai but in Beijing on the outskirts they have beautiful mountains with natural trees probably over 100 species of trees and plants there. You'd probably have to go near the farthest point get on the subway and go at the end away from the middle of the city!

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change student visa to labourer one is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
