If more time permits walk around the French Concession or attend an acrobatic show. Also the Maglev train to/from the airport.

Many thanks for the recommendations. Also for getting it to the right forum, I never noticed Destinations before!

From the main FAQ/Sticky:

The Bund. One of the river cruises would be relaxing if it's not a weekend, when they are crowded. Or go to a good hotel lounge or bar with a view and watch the lights. I love sitting in the executive lounge at the top of the former St Regis (now SPG LC) at dusk as the lights come on.

You yuan garden is a very relaxing place in between flights. The area is crowded with shops bu one you get into the garden it's very peaceful especially for being in the middle of the city.

Urban planning museum is also really good especially the scale model of the city.


The bund. Day or night it's quite a sight. During the day go to see the lobby ceilings of the HSBC. Bank. Not sure which address or stop in the Waldorf to see the old glory restored.

What night of the week?
