Shanghai offers a variety of theme parks and entertainment sites that ensure you will not run out of options to plan your weekends. One of the first attractions that comes to mind is definitely Shanghai Disneyland. Apart from that, there are also Happy Valley, Jinjiang Action Park, as well as Shanghai Wild Animal Park and Shanghai Ocean Aquarium.

Part of the Shanghai experience includes watching a Shanghainese Opera, a world class performing arts show, and visiting some art exhibitions.

The suburbs of Shanghai are in some ways, just as thrilling and interesting as the city. There are lots of attractions waiting to be uncovered. For instance, Xinchang Ancient Town is a good place to catch a glimpse of the spot where "Lust, Caution" was filmed. Thames Town is a good place to see British style architectures, and Qibao Old Street is a great location to get some delicious treats.

Lujiazui is one of the world's most famous financial districts. It features a number of prominent landmarks such as Jinmao Tower, Oriental Pearl Tower, and the Shanghai World Financial Center. They are all excellent choices to head up atop for a panoramic view of the city.

Visitors who take the night cruise on Huangpu River will definitely be treated to a visual feast on both banks of the river. On one side, the beautiful colonial era architectures bring you some traces of Shanghai's past. At the other side, numerous skyscrapers fill the skies to represent the new era and fast progress of Modern Shanghai. At night, all the buildings are covered in Neon lights to create a magical and romantic atmosphere that will definitely make you fall in love with the city.
