annette54 Posted March 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2012 We're looking at a cruise that does not go to Shanghai. We will be doing a pre cruise tour of Beijing & Xian. Can anyone give me their opinion as to weather or not it would be worth adding Shanghai to our pre-cruise trip? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted March 20, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2012 We have been to Shanghai several times, including 6 days last April. We love the city. Places like Yuyuan Gardens, Nanjing Road, the Pudong Financial district and the nearby cities of Hangzhou and Suzhou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annette54 Posted March 22, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thanks for your help Paul. We're going to contact a company that does Shanghai together with Beijing & Xian (which our cruise doesn't cover either). We'll ask if they go to the places you have mentioned.

maryann ns Posted March 22, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2012 We spent five nights in Shanghai and barely scratched the surface. If you want to see modern China with its explosive growth you will want to go to Shanghai. I did my shopping for made to measure silk clothes there. Check this out on Trip Advisor.

stowaway2k Posted March 22, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2012 If you have the time, you will not regret a visit to Shanghai. Afterall, how often are you in this part of the world? Do try to give it at least a couple of days. Shanghai can be quite a high-energy city. The Chinese/New York/European vibe to the city is quite unique. Shanghai is now 5 hours by bullet train from Beijing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
