1 night in Shanghai
I have a 24 hour layover in Shanghai. Anyone have a top 3 things to do? I don't really need to sleep as I am on LONG flights before and after so don't want jet lag to set in anyway.

1 night in Shanghai
1. Pudong/Oriental Pearl Tower/The Bund (best at night)
2. Shanghai Museum
3. Nanjing Road
If more time permits walk around the French Concession or attend an acrobatic show. Also the Maglev train to/from the airport.

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.
