SHANGHAI, May 13, 2010 - Just in time to help the over 70 million World Expo 2010 attendees navigate the city of Shanghai, Privy -- a private travel network focused on Asia -- has launched the "Privy 5 Shanghai Guide" an online guide that includes over 30 "top five" lists that highlight the best the city has to offer. The complete guide can be accessed at: http://www.privy.net/shanghai/

Shanghai is the first city in a series of Privy 5 Guides which will include Beijing, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, New York, Seoul and Tokyo.

Shanghai, China's largest and most cosmopolitan city in China, boasts a myriad of restaurants, high-end stores, and extravagant clubs and lounges which can be daunting to navigate for first-time visitors. Culled by an exclusive network of executives and key influencers, the guide organizes the city into a series of "top five" lists, some of which include:

Privy 5 Romantic Restaurants Privy 5 Places to get a Foot Massage Privy 5 French Restaurants Privy 5 Bars with a View Privy 5 Shanghainese Cuisine Privy 5 Places to See Privy 5 Sichuan Food Privy 5 Places to Sleep Privy 5 Cantonese Cuisine Privy 5 Hotel Bars Privy 5 Places to Shop Privy 5 Jazz Clubs

Privy Founder/CEO Stephen Liu adds: "While there are many online city guides targeted at backpacker types, we felt there was a need for a savvier, true insider's guide to the city. In preparing the guide, we were also able to take advantage of the fact that many of our members are bi-cultural executives or Asia travel enthusiasts whom are either based in Shanghai or travel there frequently."

About Privy: Privy is a private global network and travel resource for a select group of transpacific executives and key influencers. Privy functions as a social compass that enables like-minded people who travel frequently within and to Asia to share lifestyle reviews and coordinate roving itineraries in a discreet, trusted environment. To ensure the site remains intimate, relevant and exclusive -- membership to Privy is “by invitation only” from a trusted member with invitation privileges. Privy also provides a unique opportunity for luxury/hospitality brands to connect at the “point-of-sale” to a small but hyper-targeted affluent set of key influencers who are already sharing travel plans and lifestyle reviews.
