Enjoy a walk or grab a cab to enjoy these nearby eats:

Upscale restaurants

Club Jinmao

86F, Grand Hyatt Hotel, No.88, Century Avenue, Pudong New Area

This is the highest local authentic Shanghai restaurant, located on the 86th floor. Diners will enjoy the seafood soup and other delicious dishes while appreciating the charming scenery of Pudong.

The House of Roosevelt / Bund 27

No.27 Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu. Vicinity: The Bund

This is one of the largest wine emporiums in Shanghai. With the largest wine list in Asia (3,800 labels), the nine-floor venue has a brasserie, wine cellar, rooftop terrace and private members’ club.

Whampoa Club

5F, No. 3, the Bund, No.3 Zhongshan Dong Yi Lu,, Huangpu District (near Guangdong Road)

Check out this famous luxury restaurant on the Bund. The chef is known for adding many novel ingredients to traditional cuisine, and you won’t want to miss the smoked fish and the fried shrimp balls.

Moderately priced restaurants

Lang Yi Fang

5F, Super Brand Mall, No. 168, West Lujiazui Road, Pudong District (near West Yincheng Road)

The restaurant serves authentic Shanghai Benbang dishes at reasonable prices. The crab bean curd, smoked fish, and Babao Duck are its signature dishes.

Yang’s Fry Dumpling

54-60 Wujiang Lu (near Nanjing Xi Lu)

The Yang’s Fry chain is, if not the originator, then clearly the benchmark for Shanghai’s homegrown pan-fried pork dumpling, the shengjian bao. They’re a stone-cold Shanghainese street food classic and a cousin to Shanghai’s more famous soup dumpling, the xiaolongbao.

Takumi

IFC Pudong, 4/F, 8 Shiji Da Dao

This Japanese robata and sake bar in the IFC Mall specializes in grilled meats and vegetables.

Looking for a quick excursion during a break in your education schedule? These nearby activities will offer you a glimpse into Shanghai’s charm and history:

The Bund - a famous waterfront and regarded as the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years. It has been called a museum of international architecture. You can also find ritzy shopping and high-end restaurants and bars at this swanky attraction.

Huangpu River - Take in the bustling city and the local architecture from this enjoyable vantage point. There are boat tours available ranging from a quick ferry ride to 3-hour cruises.

The Oriental Pearl TV Tower - This high tower, at 1,536 feet, is the world’s sixth and China’s second tallest TV and radio tower. However, even more alluring than its height is its unique, attractive architectural design. Visitors travel up and down the tower in double-decker elevators and receive an introduction to the tower in English and Chinese.

Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC) - The second tallest skyscraper in mainland China, this building aims to be a symbol of the world’s finance. Visitors can enjoy sights of the city from the observatory or the Park Hyatt Hotel.

We know you’ll enjoy Shanghai and CHEST World Congress 2016’s extensive educational offerings. You’ll receive relevant updates on patient care, and practice management strategies will offer insight, perspective, and inspiration you can seamlessly incorporate into your practice to stay at the forefront of clinical chest medicine.

CHEST is committed to being the global leader in clinical chest medicine. Our vision affirms it: CHEST is the global leader in advancing best patient outcomes through innovative chest medicine education, clinical research, and team-based care. Our organization is a diverse community of experts and peers, representing more than 100 countries, giving us ample opportunity to collaborate and advance chest medicine around the world. Recently, we reviewed our international work to ensure we’re meeting education needs and fulfilling leadership responsibilities around the world. I’m happy to say we’re in good standing on both counts.

To be effective and efficient in our international education offerings, we have identified premier programs and products that readily allow us to share the CHEST brand and reputation across the globe. We offer standardized delivery and execution to ensure everyone receives the same high-quality CHEST experience. These programs include:

• CHEST live learning events, held in international locations

• CHEST journal-branded meetings

• Grant partnerships for international fellows

• Captured content from live events

Our live learning events are scalable to accommodate larger or smaller meetings, enabling them to be delivered across multiple locations and countries. We invite CHEST leadership and faculty to collaborate with local partners to provide expertise and lead sessions. Similarly, CHEST journal-branded meetings, developed and held in partnership with our journal publisher Elsevier, offer the same value and benefits as our live learning events. Content can focus on a specific disease state or have a broader topic reach. Journal editors or associate editors and top researchers are available to assist by serving as faculty. Both these options mean CHEST-branded education is accessible around the world.

In addition to bringing our programs to international audiences, we’re also able to bring international audiences to our programs, specifically to CHEST Annual Meeting and CHEST World Congress. Grant partnership opportunities are extended to sponsoring organizations that wish to cover registration, travel, housing, and per-diem living expenses for international fellows. As part of the program, we assign a CHEST liaison to each sponsored physician to further enhance his or her meeting experience. Again, this program makes CHEST-branded education more accessible throughout the world.

Knowing health-care professionals aren’t always able to travel to our events, we capture education content to make it available on demand. We have hundreds of sessions from our CHEST Annual Meeting and CHEST Board Review available for purchase in the CHEST store at chestnet.org/store. Or, international partners can license this content, and provide it to health-care professionals in their areas. Both options extend the reach of our education programs to those who may not be able to participate in a live event.

On the leadership front, we continue to lead the promotion of lung health awareness around the world. A founding member of the Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS), we work with the world’s leading respiratory societies to improve lung health globally. Our initiatives to date include declaring 2016 to 2025 as the Decade of the Lung and engaging organizations to improve lung health through prevention efforts. Under the Decade of the Lung umbrella, FIRS organizations brought awareness to the need for pneumonia prevention and stronger management strategies. More recently, CHEST participated with FIRS to raise global concerns of lung cancer on World Cancer Day, February 2.

As an established and recognized leader in chest medicine, CHEST is in an ideal position to advance lung health around the world. This is an opportunity we take seriously and will continue to focus on meeting our vision.

If you have thoughts or ideas about how we can enhance our work to be a global leader in chest medicine, feel free to connect with me. I invite you to follow me on Twitter (@PMarkowskiACCP), or look for me at upcoming CHEST events.

Dr. Arthur Kotch, FCCP, passed away on December 6, 2015. He started his career as junior faculty in the Pulmonary Division at the University of Pennsylvania. He was then recruited to Danbury Hospital, in Danbury, Connecticut, where over the years, he built the Division of Pulmonary Medicine, the Department of Respiratory Care, a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Unit, and the first Sleep Center in the state of Connecticut. He was a pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine physician who combined an encyclopedic knowledge with a very humanistic approach to life, displaying the ultimate dedication to trainees and his patients, and amazing service to his hospital and the community. The American College of Chest Physicians extends its condolences to the Kotch family.

This information was kindly provided to CHEST by Dr. Octavian C. Ioachimescu, FCCP, who was a dear friend of Dr. Kotch.

He was then recruited to Danbury Hospital, in Danbury, Connecticut, where over the years, he built the Division of Pulmonary Medicine, the Department of Respiratory Care, a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Unit, and the first Sleep Center in the state of Connecticut. He was a pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine physician who combined an encyclopedic knowledge with a very humanistic approach to life, displaying the ultimate dedication to trainees and his patients, and amazing service to his hospital and the community. The American College of Chest Physicians extends its condolences to the Kotch family.

Where are they now? What have they been up to? CHEST’s Past Presidents each forged the way for the many successes of the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST), leading to enhanced patient care around the globe. Their outstanding leadership and vision are evidenced today in many of CHEST’s current initiatives, and now it is time to check in with these past leaders to give us a look at what’s new in their lives.

Dr. Paul Kvale, Master FCCP

President, 2004-2005

Since my term as President of the American College of Chest Physicians, I have remained active with CHEST in several capacities, including serving as a reviewer for the McCaffree Community Service Awards and, currently, as Chair of the Compensation Committee.

I continued with research activities until the primary papers were published for the National Lung Screening Trial (NSLT) and the Prostate, Lung, Colon, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trials were complete. I retired from active practice at Henry Ford Hospital at the end of June 2015. That was the 50th anniversary of employment at HFH, coincident with HFH celebrating its 100th founding anniversary. I continue to serve every couple of weeks with teaching sessions with the pulmonary fellows on a voluntary basis. This pro bono work is consistent with the objectives that I stated when I became President of CHEST.

My wife Susan and I have continued to travel internationally, now about one to two such trips each year. A river cruise in Portugal was the highlight in late 2014 and another on the Danube River from Budapest to Nurenberg was our itinerary in late 2015. We also spend about 6 weeks each year at our home on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, and our intentions are to enjoy even more time there going forward.

Since I retired, I have enrolled as an undergraduate student at Wayne State University, taking a course in geology just “for fun.” Geology is a field of science that I could not work into my schedule as a pre-med student, so now I have the time and opportunity. One of my grandsons has joined me as I returned to a childhood hobby of building flyable model airplanes. I golf with several friends twice a week, and I wish I still had the game that I had at age 25!! Susan and I will continue to travel and see things that we enjoy together.

When you travel to Shanghai, China, to attend CHEST World Congress 2016, you won’t want to miss a minute of the cutting-edge education sessions and simulation training. Yet, you can’t send a postcard home if you haven’t witnessed first-hand the beauty, culture, and uniqueness of the city’s sites featured on your postcard. We’ve got you covered. If you want to see the famous, “must see” sites of Shanghai, follow our list below, and you will not be disappointed.

The most famous and iconic location in Shanghai is a street called The Bund. The street is located just west of the Huangpu River, and it features international architecture with building styles from art deco and gothic to late renaissance and classic European. You can also find ritzy shopping and high-end restaurants and bars at this swanky attraction.

If you are interested in history, you’ll want to visit the Shanghai Museum and the Old Town neighborhood. The Shanghai Museum has a large collection of historical artifacts, and you can rent an audio phone with narratives of the major exhibits. Old Town is the center of the old Chinese city and the first part of Shanghai to be settled. Today, you’ll find souvenirs and antiques, a Daoist Temple, and Huxinting Teahouse in this neighborhood.

As for entertainment, Shanghai offers several compelling options. Take in the bustling city and the local architecture from an enjoyable vantage point - the Huangpu River. There are boat tours available ranging from a quick ferry ride to 3-hour cruises. Or, you can sit back and be entertained by the world famous Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe. Performances are available at the Shanghai Center Theatre.

Here are some other interesting tourist destinations:

• Nanjing Road – A shopper’s paradise, this road is walkable in 20 to 30 minutes (if you don’t stop to shop!)

• French Concession Area – This neighborhood is full of mansions and beautiful parks. Take a walk and enjoy the area on foot!

• Jade Buddha Temple – This unique temple features two beautiful white jade Buddhas.

• Yu Garden – Enjoy the beauty of this classic Chinese garden situated in urban Shanghai.

Dr. Arthur P. Wheeler, FCCP, died on December 17, 2015. He attended undergraduate school (UMBC) and medical school (UMAB) at The University of Maryland.

He moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1982 for residency training at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and remained there for his entire professional career. He was Director of the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Vanderbilt University Hospital for 22 years, where he had a prolific research career that primarily focused on the development of new treatments for ARDS through the ARDSnet Team, leading to improved survival for many patients. His passion for teaching and for understanding how best to care for critically ill patients will be missed by his many colleagues and friends who he inspired throughout the years. Art’s involvement with the American College of Chest Physicians spanned almost 30 years and included serving on the editorial boards of CHEST and CHEST SEEK Critical Care. He recently was honored in CHEST as a Giant in Chest Medicine. Art often shared that he considered participating in SEEK as one of his most favorite and rewarding professional activities. CHEST SEEK Critical Care: 26th Edition will be dedicated to Dr. Wheeler. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Lisa, and the entire Wheeler family.

When you travel to Shanghai, China for CHEST World Congress 2016, you will be immersed in a wonderful Chinese culture complete with flavorful, authentic food; exquisite, local architecture and gardens; and a native language with beautiful written characters. While we encourage you to take in all the famous tourist spots, we also challenge you to live like a local and come prepared and knowledgeable so that you’ll get the most from your Shanghai experience.

Don’t leave home until you’ve read our tips for enjoying your stay in Shanghai:

1. Water. Don’t drink tap water in Shanghai. Bottled water is widely available. It is OK to brush your teeth with tap water at hotels.

2. Money. Your international credit card will only be accepted at top hotels, restaurants, and shops that cater to foreigners, and many credit cards have hidden fees when travelling internationally. Make sure to leave home with some money exchanged to RMB yuan (¥). If you need more money while you’re in Shanghai, the airport, hotel banks, and larger branches of the Bank of China can exchange money for you. Or, before you leave home, check with your bank to find out which local ATMs will exchange currency from your credit card.

3. Tips. There is officially no tipping in China, but it has become commonplace for bellhops, tour guides, and tour bus drivers to receive tips. You do not need to tip taxi drivers or restaurant employees.

4. Electricity. The electricity in China is generally 220V. Most North American electrical devices will require a transformer. Outlets come in a variety of configurations, so it may be hard to plan ahead, but you can purchase transformers or adapters at department stores.

5. Bathrooms. Don’t rely on public restrooms because many are a trough in the ground, and they don’t always provide tissues or soap. However, you can usually find a restroom more similar to what you are used to at big hotels, restaurants catering to foreigners, and newer malls.

6. Language. English is seldom spoken by locals. However, younger locals should recognize at least some English from their mandatory English classes in school. Mandarin is the official language in China, but locals may also converse in Shanghainese.

7. Shopping. You should expect to bargain for the best price at street and small private stores. Try to compromise on price and smile through your negotiations. Beware of knock-offs, especially at markets. Jade is particularly prone to be fake.

8. Avoiding Offense. It is very important not to cause someone to lose face in public. This is considered to be highly offensive. Avoid losing your temper or calling someone out in public. Take up matters privately, when needed.

9. Smoking. Smoking is very popular in China, and it is not restricted nearly as much as it is in North America. There is a smoking ban on public transit, and nonsmoking rooms are available upon request at hotels. Some restaurants have nonsmoking sections.

10. Climate and Time zone. Spring is a great time to travel to Shanghai. April’s temperatures are generally in the 60s with some light rain. Shanghai is 13 hours ahead of New York, 14 hours ahead of Chicago, and 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles. You may feel jetlagged and need time to adjust to the drastic change.

11. Emergency. Here are the local emergency numbers: Fire: 119, police: 110, and ambulance: 120.

12. Transportation. The best way to get around town is either by taxi or on the metro. Learn more about the Shanghai Metro at http://service.shmetro.com/en.

With all these tips in mind, we hope you’ll be prepared to thoroughly enjoy your stay in Shanghai. During CHEST World Congress 2016, April 15 - 17, you’ll feel right at home with presentations in English and top-notch education and simulation sessions that you’ve grown to expect from CHEST.

When you travel to Shanghai, China for CHEST World Congress 2016, you will be immersed in a wonderful Chinese culture complete with flavorful, authentic food; exquisite, local architecture and gardens; and a native language with beautiful written characters. While we encourage you to take in all the famous tourist spots, we also challenge you to live like a local and come prepared and knowledgeable so that you’ll get the most from your Shanghai experience.

Don’t leave home until you’ve read our tips for enjoying your stay in Shanghai:

1. Water. Don’t drink tap water in Shanghai. Bottled water is widely available. It is OK to brush your teeth with tap water at hotels.

2. Money. Your international credit card will only be accepted at top hotels, restaurants, and shops that cater to foreigners, and many credit cards have hidden fees when travelling internationally. Make sure to leave home with some money exchanged to RMB yuan (¥). If you need more money while you’re in Shanghai, the airport, hotel banks, and larger branches of the Bank of China can exchange money for you. Or, before you leave home, check with your bank to find out which local ATMs will exchange currency from your credit card.

3. Tips. There is officially no tipping in China, but it has become commonplace for bellhops, tour guides, and tour bus drivers to receive tips. You do not need to tip taxi drivers or restaurant employees.

4. Electricity. The electricity in China is generally 220V. Most North American electrical devices will require a transformer. Outlets come in a variety of configurations, so it may be hard to plan ahead, but you can purchase transformers or adapters at department stores.

5. Bathrooms. Don’t rely on public restrooms because many are a trough in the ground, and they don’t always provide tissues or soap. However, you can usually find a restroom more similar to what you are used to at big hotels, restaurants catering to foreigners, and newer malls.

6. Language. English is seldom spoken by locals. However, younger locals should recognize at least some English from their mandatory English classes in school. Mandarin is the official language in China, but locals may also converse in Shanghainese.

7. Shopping. You should expect to bargain for the best price at street and small private stores. Try to compromise on price and smile through your negotiations. Beware of knock-offs, especially at markets. Jade is particularly prone to be fake.

8. Avoiding Offense. It is very important not to cause someone to lose face in public. This is considered to be highly offensive. Avoid losing your temper or calling someone out in public. Take up matters privately, when needed.

9. Smoking. Smoking is very popular in China, and it is not restricted nearly as much as it is in North America. There is a smoking ban on public transit, and nonsmoking rooms are available upon request at hotels. Some restaurants have nonsmoking sections.

10. Climate and Time zone. Spring is a great time to travel to Shanghai. April’s temperatures are generally in the 60s with some light rain. Shanghai is 13 hours ahead of New York, 14 hours ahead of Chicago, and 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles. You may feel jetlagged and need time to adjust to the drastic change.
