Shanghai Zhujiajiao Ancient Town Tourist Zone <-- instead of going to suzhou, you can just do this fake ass version.. suzhou is still better, go there instead)
Former French Concession Zone <-- best of colonialism, my parents' ancestral home is in this district.
Xintiandi District <--- shopping
Tianzifang <-- arts and crafts and trash
Donghai Bridge <-- rent a car and drive this bridge, itts pretty awesome. its insanely long, and connects a few islands to the mainland.

Ok, back from Shanghai.
First of all, fuck you hobz for recommending XTD. Wife asked me to go there to check out to see if there's anything interesting as her eyes turned bright when I said it's a shopping area ppl recommended. The XTD building itself had some younger brands and there wasn't anything interesting other than a cat shop in there which had insanely priced for kittens, but incredibly cute. Overall, geared toward the younger crowd.

Just as I was leaving thinking wallet was safe since it was all younger brand. Wife noticed from Baidu Map that the building across the street (K11) had many major brands. So she asked me to go check it out.
Long story short, I'm a few grand poorer as wife saw a jacket from Yohji Yamamoto online and it just so happen to have a store there. Worse yet, they didn't even have it in stock. But wife ordered it anyway as it's sold out everywhere else.
Then I went to Former French Concession Zone (法租界）this was really nice as the older buildings gave kinda an art deco kinda vibe. Definitely recommended for even just walking around.
Donhai Bridge was ok but I was in the area since I visited the former largest indoor snowdome and the bridge was right there. Once you crossed, there wasn't much interesting stuff. But I guess just to cruise along the bridge was nice if you happen to be in the area. If one has to drive out from Shanghai, which was nearly 2hrs, I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble.
