Day 1 - Shanghai
Use your free time in Shanghai wisely and you will be able to absorb a great deal of the city's flavor in a few short days. Start off in Pudong, Shanghai's business center, and take the Psychedelic Tunnel to Puxi, Shanghai's Old Town. From the tunnel's exit you emerge on the world-famous Bund overlooking Huangpu River. Stroll West along Nanjing Road, arguably China's heart of modernization. Finish with a tasteful and local treat by eating Chinese-style at Di Shui Dong.

After your meetings in Pudong are finished, hop in a cab or take the metro to Puxi, on DaGu Road. This little street is the perfect place to catch a Western-style meal if the mood suits, but more importantly the massage halls on this street are reputable and offer cultural insight, they are not to be missed and will help you relax after a stressful day. Next head to Jing'an Temple while you are in your happy place, and check out Shanghai's past and future in Buddhism. A fine dining experience with the best chef in Shanghai awaits at Laris, followed by drinks at the Sky Lounge in Pudong, which should be nearer your hotel.

Undoubtedly, the very center of Shanghai past and present is the market area of Yu Gardens where you can load up on souvenirs and tacky T-shirts as well as authentic antiques and great replicas. After spending your hard-earned cash on some goodies for your loved ones back home, head to DongPing Road to have lunch or an afternoon beer with the local expats. You can also try M on the Bund for any business meeting or to unwind after work, it is the premier place-to-be in Shanghai's business world.
