thanks

If you like cheap shopping, in Shanghai you better go to Xiang Yang Market. It’s a field full of small stands which sell lots of garment, toys, handbags, sneaker, leather…you name it! Better have a local to assist you or at least someone who speaks chinese. There’ll be lots of “sales” approching offering catalogues from their stand n some of them will try to pull you physically. Just ignore them, say “MEI SHE!” means : “I’m OK ..(get lost!)”. If you spend more time there, you might find nice piece, but the most importand thing is bargaining. You can get less than half the price they proposed.
If you enjoy paintings, there’s a nice gallery there. I was a gallery manager looking for paintings back then. It’s called “The Room With a View”, 12th F. No. 479 Nanjing Rd (E), Shanghai,200001, the manager is Holly Zhao. Fortunately she speaks little english. Nice gallery, nice paintings, nice manager.
The no.1 have-to-see is The Bund. There’s a river called Huang Pu Jiang with nice view. It divides the old and new area of Shanghai. The old one, full of historical buildings and on the other side you can see the new modern Shanghai full of high rise building.
For fine dining and wine, you can go to Xin Tian Di –anyone in Shanghai knows it– lots of nice designed small restaurant.
For Night life, dance, drinks, can go to Park 97 — famous place also.
But my all time favourite place –everytime I went Shanghai, have to stop by there — is called “PEOPLE”.

Make reservation first. The food style is fusion. Very nice ambience. Delicious food. Worth to try.
Ningbo, sorry, never been there. But it’s famous of furniture, cheap one, but have to choose it carefully cos they don’t really have quality control standard so the product might appear different one to another. Order some furniture for my company sake.
Have a nice trip. Wish the information will be helpful.

In Ningbo dont expect to see anything like in Shanghai… theres nothing here… just a very simple city life.. no entertainment.. no fun stuffs… may be u cud hit the bars thats all u can do out here other than business… Well in Shanghai u can do quiet a lot… check out Nanjing road, the TV tower and then u cud just walk a lot and enjoy some awesome buildings…. dont take taxis… its pretty crazy, use the MRTs. Its gonna be very hot in June so watch out for that sun. And hey dont forget to get a glimpse of the highest hotel in the world as per world records… the HYATT in shanghai.

in shanghai you can walk Nanjing road and the bank of Huangpu river and you can go to Dongfangmingzhu (oriental pearl) tower building where you can have a look of shanghai in the air.
but i have no idea about Ningbo, sorry.
I hope you’ll have a good vacation.
