Shanghai is a sophisticated cosmopolitan with all of the trappings of a great place to live. it's not really a place for adventure, but a place to just relax and soak up city life. I was largely hoofed it around through gardens, different city quarters, hanging out drinking, tasting local food and in between, some shopping, of course.
We also visited Zhu Jia Jiao, an age-old water township with a history of more than 1,000 years, just 45 minutes drive from Shanghai. Zhu Jia Jiao water town is beautiful, but very touristy. The complex is traditionally styled and looks restored recently. The narrow streets full of stores selling snacks, carvings, and paintings on both sides. It lowered my expectations for the old town a bit. You may also wish to board on a boat trip. It will be interesting to observe the town from canal.
