Finding specific collectible shops in Shanghai can be a bit of a scavenger hunt, even online. For Lord of the Rings, World of Warcraft, and One Piece, your best bet is probably checking out the larger animation and hobby stores in malls around the city center – think places with a strong anime/manga presence. They often have surprisingly diverse sections. Sun Wukong stuff will be easier to find, it's a much bigger local icon. Look for shops selling traditional Chinese crafts and souvenirs; those are your best bet. As for Infinity Studios, try searching using the Chinese name – that might yield better results on local search engines like Baidu. Good luck with your hunt!

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!
