Translator required
Going on an excursion to Jinshan, it is worth keeping in mind that in this suburb of Shanghai there is a special dialect spoken by the locals. The rest of Shanghai do not understand him, and therefore it is worth looking for Abyrigen here for the role of a guide.
In addition to the mainland zone, Jinshan includes several coastal islands, to which local travel companies organize exciting boat trips.
