Shanghai is a very large and prosperous modern city with several ancient watertowns around. No matter you like tranquil ancient town or modern fashion scenery, Shanghai could satisfy both your tastes. Here I would like to give a brief recommendation list of the Shanghai highlights. May you could make any sense.
1. The Bund, the Bund along the Huangpu River is the symbol sight of Shanghai. The scenery at sunrise is the most attractive, the sunshine spreading on the bund from the eastwards and the whole bund becoming goldish.
2. The Huangpu River Cruise: the night scenery along the Bund is also charming. Take a cruise from the Bund to Wusongkou along the Huangpu River at evening, appreciating the beautiful night scenery of both sides of the river.
3. The Renmin Square, meaning the People's Square, is the center of Shanghai, with City Program Museum to the East, History Museum to the South and the Great Theatre to the West. With a through ticket of Y100 yuan, you could visit all these 3 places taking at least 4 hours. If you don't have enough time, You could buy a pouch of corn and attracts lots of pigeons. At the square, there are two large underground markets fitting for students, with fashion and cheap stuffs.
4. Nanjing Road, a place for shopping with packed people, is also a famous street in China. You may want to take a look in view of its fame.
5. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the Jin Mao Builing at the Lujiazui District are two ideal places to have a bird view of Shanghai. Because most people choose the Tower for viewing, it is always crowded. With the same price at Y50 yuan, you could reach the 87 floor of the Jin Mao Building and have a cup of coffee there, enjoying the beautiful sights outside. The OPTT is favored by the local people as the backgroup for wedding photograph.
6. The Century Road and the Century Square. The Century Road is a sightseeing way connecting Lujiazui District and the Century Square. The Century Square is the largest square of Shanghai, with the Science Museum to the South and the pedestrian leading to the Century Park on the East.
7. The Xin Tian Di District and the Pubs on Hengshan Road are two places favored for night life.
8. If you want to visit some ancient town or water town scenery, Qi Bao old town and Yuyuan Garden within the city, Zhujiajiao watertown, Tongli watertown, Zhouzhuang watertown are all your choices.
Shanghai is a huge modern city. In the evening we took a walk along the Bund - a popular boardwalk along the waterfront, along with about 10,000 other people - about 100 foreign tourists, 4,000 locals, and 6,000 hawkers trying to sell fake Rolex watches to the 100 foreigners.
People are amazingly friendly. Even the aggressive hawkers, if you ask them for directions, they immediately forget their sales pitch, and go out of their way to help you. And help we needed. Lots. Language is a huge barrier. I discovered the language problem immediately in our hotel room when I tried to turn on the air conditioner which was operated by a complex remote, all in Chinese!
Some hotel staff speak English, but cab drivers, waiters, and bus station ticket sellers do not. We constantly have to plan ahead and get hotel staff to write for us Chinese cheat sheets of our destinations and even sentences like "2 tickets to Suzhou at 2:00 p.m. please". This was tested further last night in Tongli where even hotel staff didn't speak a word of English. But so far, no major hassles. Amazing how far a smile can go!
Tongli's old section is a quaint little village with pretty gardens, ancient architecture, lots of souvenir shops (naturally), as well as an intricate canal system full of tourists taking gondola rides. It was a different scene though at 7:00 a.m. when I went for an early walk while Rosa still slept. No gondolas, but a whole bunch of locals doing their laundry in the canal, me wandering around photographing the locals and several Chinese tourists taking pictures of me! Not many tourists stay overnight in Tongli, coming down for the day, instead. Yet I found Tongli most enjoyable early in the morning, and evening.
Actually Shanghai is a big modern city and there is not much for sightseeing, but there are also some places good to find relaxation:
1. Yuyuan Garden, take a wander around the garden and the nearby area. I really like just wandering in the area between the gardens and the fabric market. Just walk.
2. Stroll along the bund in the everning. Appreciate the beautiful night scenery in Shanghai. Of course, you should visit Shanghai in a warm weather or you will feel chilly.
3. It is definitely worthwhile taking a side trip to the around water town, totally diffrent feeling from the modern Shanghai.
4. Shanghai Museum. A good museum, at least i like it.
