Favorite thing: You must get to Pudong, to the Oriental Pearl Tower,
Peace Hotel (which is such a legend once upon a time in the early century), walk on the Bund as well as the otherside in Pudong, take the tunnel across to Pudong, admire all the european styled buildings which were built with millions then already!!!, and also walk on Najing Road shopping, and go to Yuyuan Garden, eat Shanghainese food, take a cruise along Huang pu.

Favorite thing: Shanghai Ocean Aquarium
Fondest memory: It is known as the biggest Aquarium of asia. I finally visited it on a broiling Sunday afternoon. Actually it is better than another Aquarium of Shanghai. There are so many wonderful fishes, which shining my eyes time after time. However, the ticket is quite expensive, RMB110 for adult...:)

Favorite thing: Pu Dong
Fondest memory: Pudong New Area is part of the city of Shanghai. It is located on the eastern side of Huangpu River, which cuts through the city. Pudong has a land area of 533.44 square kilometers and a permanent population of 1.63 million. In the past, due to the lack of bridges and tunnels across the river, Pudong was lagging far behind the old downtown of Shanghai in term of economic growth, though it lies just across the river from the latter.

Favorite thing: Pudong the pioneer of China's reform and market economy, is developing with unrivalled momentum. Within its boundary, the four development zones such as Lujiazui are leading the country in the development of finance, banking, real estate,etc. With its economic strides, hundreds of high-rise buildings are springing up; streets lined with shady trees are constructed; infrastructure is being improved...

Favorite thing: I was impressed by the Pu Dong zone. This is the new Manhattan for the XXI century.
In other way the Old Shanghai in the night was a strong experience. It seemd to me to be in the colonization times, when Shanghai was the golden door to China.
Fondest memory: Walking the Bund in the evening was a refreshing experience of live.

Fondest memory: When I visit Shanghai, I am always amazed by the modern architecture. If you are into modern building design and visiting nice hotels and stuff like that, Shanghai is really kewl! The new Grand Hyatt in Pudong is a spin out. 88 floors high, with an enormous 30 storey atrium that starts from the 50th floor. And the view is amazing. Although the Pearl TV Tower is a 1990's tackorama original, it kind of epitomises the spirit of Shanghai, and it is well worth a visit. It is hard to imagine what Shanghai will be like in 20 years time, so it is a good idea to go there now!

Favorite thing: Test to see if you are afraid of heights! Climb up to the Oriental Pearl Tower and experience its glass floor, where you can look down directly to the street underneath your feet.
