Finding Shi Qingxuan Cosplay in Shanghai

My relative is visiting Shanghai and needs to find a Shi Qingxuan (Heaven's Official Blessing) cosplay. Any recommendations on shops and price ranges would be greatly appreciated.

That's a niche request! Finding specific cosplay in Shanghai can be tricky. Your best bet is probably checking out the larger anime/manga/comic conventions in Shanghai if there are any happening during your relative's visit. Those often have vendors selling a wide variety of cosplay items. Otherwise, Taobao might be worth a look, but prices and quality will vary wildly. Be prepared for a potentially lengthy search and possibly higher-than-expected costs for something so specific.

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!
