We always heard the same advice, even from some locals living in a
very ritzy part of Shanghai.
Our tour operator supplied us with 2 small bottles of water per day,
about 1 liter total. All of the hotels had electric teapots, and we
boiled water for brushing our teeth and other uses while at the
hotel. With that strategy and all the liquids we got with the meals,
we did not use up all of the bottled water (and we never even used any
of the camper's water purification supplies that we brought).
I am not disputing the posting that it might be safe to brush with tap
water, just providing a way to reduce spending money on bottled water.
My other observation is that it was hard to avoid all ingetion of tap
water while showering, but it seemed prudent to miimize the exposure.
