As a social documentary photographer, I have come to Shanghai to first learn Chinese and later to travel around the Chinese countryside with my camera. When I came to Shanghai I first stayed in hotels but later heard about World Union Serviced Apartments run by Bayeeta Hotel Management. I went to take a look and was hooked from the start. I feel very comfortable staying there and I like the service very much. Bayeeta's friendly staff are available to help make arrangements or inquiries for me and help keep my life in Shanghai running smoothly, and the flexible price is also a very important reason to stay. My apartment is near Jing'An Temple which gives me quick access to many things. The Jing'An subway station is within a couple of minutes walking distance and the environment varies from modern to very local, giving me a taste of real Shanghai.
