Seven days in Shanghai.. You can spend around 2 to 3 days in the city... can check things to do in my tips.. many.. specially the The Bund and Xin Tian Di. If possible, discuss with your tour whether they can arrange a tour to Huangshan.. it is about 4 hours drive from Hangzhou or 6 hours drive from Shanghai. or... check out with Shanghai day tour to old canal towns, for example Wuzhen. You can check out my tips on Wuzhen. http://www.chinassbc.com/ -- this is a reliable day tour operator in Shanghai, but I am not sure whether they have English tour, or maybe you know Chinese??

I stayed here, had a 2 bedroom apt., there certainly are cheaper places, but this was a good home base and the service was great. Booked on Expedia. Walking distance to the Subway and a short taxi ride to Yuyuan. tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review... Another thing to see is this acrobatic act. shanghaiacrobaticshow.com/sh... and also do a day trip to one of the water towns. You can buy bus ticket to there and they let you explore the town for about 4 hours.

Sorry, wanted to mention that I don't endorse any of the webpages/travel agencies cited. Just listing them for point of reference. I bought my tickets to Circus World the day prior by visiting the ticket office. The website I cited unfortunately is a travel agency...I thought it was that of the venue itself. As always, buyer beware.

Broadway Mansions has a lovely view over the Waibadu Bridge and the Bund. Relatively inexpensive, room and food adequate. Hyatt on the Bund more expensive, but lovely views over river and Pudong. Good spread as well. Excellent service. The Taiyuan Villa Shanghai Ruijin Hotel is something different - a bit of France in Shanghai. Part of the French Quarter and a living relic of the historic colonial impact. Gorgeous room and location. Breakfast in a lovely setting, but food only adequate.

Join in Huangshan tour is a nice chance.

A number of fantastic attractions are available for your references, including Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Bund, Shanghai Grand View Garden and Chongming Island.
