One Night in Shanghai
If you only have 24 hours in Shanghai, I think you should visit those places
06.00 Go to The Bund and watch the early old birds practicing Tai Chi, it's a BEAUTIFUL sight! You see the shiny skylines behind and the old people "dancing".
06.30 Walk over to Peace Hotel (Shanghai's most famous hotel) and have some breakfast and an early drink at Rose Garden, you'll get a nice view of the Bund up from there. You better do this soon, because Peace Hotel is going through renovation and won't open until 2010!!! Also you could take the tunnel to Pudong and walk on Binjiang Boulevard and see The Bund from there.
08.00 Walk along the Bund and wait for the stores to open
09.00 Usually all Shanghai's shops open somewhere between 9.00 - 10.00, so go shopping on Shanghai's main shopping street Nanjing Walking Street, then walk over to Nanjing Xi Road for some upscale shopping
14.00 Why eat lunch at some fancy place when you can get really delicious food on Wujiang Road close to Nanjing Xi Road. You'll get very stuffed for just 10-20 kuai. (Also, be quick on this because I heard Wujiang Road is going to change from a food street to a luxury shopping area)
15.00 Grab a taxi or walk to People's Square, I think Shanghai Museum is a must see. I personally love Raffles City Mall, it's a department store just by People's Square. Also if you feel like you have time, go to the underground beneath People's Square where you can find cheap trendy clothes and accessories.
18.00 Grab a taxi to Shanghai's other famous shopping street Huai Hai Road, from there you can walk to Fuxing Road and have dinner. A very cosy street with lots of good coffee shops and restaurants. The street feels somewhat European, as it's part of the French Concession.
20.00 Go to Face Bar for an early drink, Face Bar is in a colonial villa, and the interior is awesome, they have big opium beds where you can lie down at and sip your drink. (Face Bar is a great dating spot, because their lightning makes people betterlooking than they already are, it's TRUE).
22.00 Start the night at bonbon (my favourite club in SH), they have Open Bar so drink as much as you like.
02.00 I think new people to Shanghai definitely should check out Attica, so grab a taxi and head towards The Bund where Attica is. They have a great terrace where you can see Shanghai's skyline at night. Absolutely gorgeous sight!
04.00 Walk over to Bar Rouge on The Bund, a lot of French and Swedish people there as I've experienced. The interior is all red (rouge) and they also have a terrace where you see Shanghai's skyline.
05.00 Hungry? Grab a cab to City Diner on Tongren Road for breakfast, they are open 24 hours.

Rather pathetic day in Shanghai! You really want to wake up at 6 for that??
Are you sure you can see the "shiny skyline"? In my experience there is way too much pollution to see anything shiny. I'm new to your blog and appreciate your enthusiasm for you home city, but do you not find it very polluted and dusty? It seems like you care a lot about fashion as I do too. But do you find that all your cloth get dirty extra fast in SH. No matter what color you have on, after a while it inevitably becomes kind of gray. and the water quality is not great. It feels like the cloth can not even be cleaned properly
Yes, especially when the sun is up, you can see that the skylines are shiny. But I do agree with u, too much pollution in Shanghai, sometimes the city can be grey for up to 5 days, but then there are also beautiful days in SH. Hope there will be this summer!
I will write more about fashion if that's whay you like!
bump into this website that give comments about clubs in shanghai

have a look and tell me what u think
not city diner at 5 am but bi fang tang ;)
I did notice that all my clothes get dirty extra fast in SH, and can't be cleaned properly...but that happens only during summer
City Diner only if you are a hardened lao wai who needs his fix of western food, but for more local flavour, try Xin Wang on Chang Le Lu (Mao Ming Lu intersection) opened 24 hours.
By the way, Raffle's City is a shopping mall not a department store (bai huo). Parkson is a department store.
wtf did they do to guandii :|
did you copy and paste this from Fodor's or are you really that unimaginative in real life?
