You intend to stay in Shanghai for more than a few days? The Shanghai Jiaotong Card is a must. Where to go in Shanghai depends largely on your time period and interests, but not forget Tang Yun Tea House (199 Hengshan Rd. Xuhui), remembering that Tang Yun serves many varieties of tea along with traditional Chinese delicacies (many of the snacks at the common table are free). A boat on the river? You can take a boat on the river, and there are many companies that run river tours, because this is a great way to see the and river banks and shoot some good photos. You need to buy something? Shop until you drop on China’s premier shopping street Nanjing Road, or head for the Yuyuan Bazaar for Chinese crafts and jewellery not far from the Bund (and not forget, Nanjing Road is a long street).
Maybe now you need a restaurant. Nice. Shanghai’s cuisine is primarily a fusion of the forms of the surrounding Jiangnan region. If you want, you can eat birds on stick (street food in Qibao Town), or choose your Yong Yi Ting restaurant, finding exquisite Jiangnan cuisine housed in the Pudong Mandarin Oriental Hotel http://www.mandarinoriental.com/shanghai/fine-dining/yong-yi-ting/ A masterpiece of the menu? Is the mandarin fish, cooked not in the usual style, but instead braised in a consommé as thick as gravy and rich as butter.
