subway/street names in shanghai/beijing

by mnutsy Online Now May 8, 2012 at 12:06 AM

I speak no Chinese. Can I get signs/voice overs in English on Shanghai/Beijing subway trains etc? Also, do streets have English names? If not, is it worth catching subway? OR BEST TO USE A CAB with hand written instructions from my Hotel - I'm staying at Hyatt and they offer this but I like to travel local as locals do!!!

    Is metropolitan city in both Shanghai and Beijing and hence both English and Chinese directory is available. For both Shanghai and Beijing, definitely there is no issue to travel by subways even if you don't know Chinese.
