    Hi there,

    For just a day I would suggest you to visit The Bund, there are about 50 buildings of different architectural styles and on the opposite side separated by the Shanghai Huangpu River is the Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Take a ride up the tower (not cheap though but worth it) this will allows you to see the spectacular view of Shanghai. This is one place that you must visit ,it represent Shanghai .If you have time, you can adjourn to the Yuyuan Garden known as the only old city and the only historical place left in Shanghai.

    For dinner you can visit Xintiandi an urban area with historical and cultural legacies.Take subway 10 and get off at Xintiandi Station. Here, Crystal Jade Restaurant serve the best Shanghai Dumbling. Enjoy.

    During the day, you can go and visit the tv tower.

    During the evening, go and a have a walk at Nanjing Road where you can find plenty of stores and restaurants.
