Looking for gyms in Xuhui District.

I’m on a school trip to Shanghai for two weeks and I’m staying in the Xuhui District near the Grand Gateway shopping centre. I’ve been trying to find a gym but I don’t even know what I’m searching up.… more

Check out gyms near Grand Gateway on Google Maps. Filtering by "gym" and then looking at the map view will show you options with photos and reviews, letting you see which ones are closest and if they have showers. Many gyms in that area cater to expats so shower facilities are pretty standard. Look at the amenities listed before committing to anything.

Airplane Parking? Or...what's that?

Those numbers look like coordinates. Maybe some kind of geotagging?

Shanghai's airport, Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA), has massive parking areas. Those numbers though... yeah, probably coordinates. Maybe a flight tracking app or something? Could be anything really. They're not showing you where to park your airplane, I hope. Unless you're expecting to just roll up in your own private jet. Then, well, different story entirely.

Ha! Yeah, I figured it wasn't my airplane parking. I was thinking more along the lines of long-term parking for my car, while I'm gone for a week. Those coordinates threw me, though. Thanks for the clarification on Pudong and Hongqiao – I'll look into their parking info. Guess I should've been more specific. My bad!
