Of all the places I've been to in China I think Shanghai was my least favourite. It has a lot to offer and is a very busy commercial place but it just didn't do it for me.
Saying that though we had fun there all the same. The tourist tunnel was surreal and funny experience and if you're into 19th century porn by an add on for the sex exhibition, it's flippin priceless. Although once I realised that all the porcelein chinese women were depicted with bound feet it was slightly less funny... and a lot more surreal.
The boat ride to see the lights of Shanghai is pretty cool but I wouldn't go up the Pearl tower again. The queues were Chinese style - chaotic and I just wasn't in the humour for it on that night. I think after the peace of Hangshou, Shanghai just grated on me a little. Lots of other people loved it though.
