I will only take this flight if I cannot get either CX or JL flights to SIN as the connection is so bad on 9W to CX. Otherwise I think 9W business class looks good.
According to CX web page, the lounge opens at 6am. If you have not toured Shanghai before, it is worthwhile spending a few days there. You can also spend 2-3 days in Hangzhou and Suzhou.
