The Bund which is the famous walking area along the river in downtown Shanghai, has on one side old European buildings built up to 150 years ago by different nationalities and on the other side an amazing display of extremely modem high rises featuring the second tallest building in China (plus the tallest under construction). The Yu gardens in old Shanghai features the cities oldest tea house some 500 years old and boasts the best steamed buns in town. You want shopping? Shanghai is your city. From exclusive brand names to market style bargaining you can buy it all and at great prices. A very easy city to get around with plenty of cheap taxis (although you may want to close your eyes and not watch the driving) and a great easy to navigate underground for the more adventurous. There are plenty of signs in English and most young people speak "a little" English if you need help. Shanghai is a great stopover destination which in my opinion rivals Hong Kong.
