Are you serious? How much do you know about China?
Full disclosure: I've never been, but I know the guy who does one of the best, if not the best, tours of China. I also have hosted a LOT of visitors from China. Shanghai isn't even on their lists of places to visit unless you're doing business. And at least 10-15 of my visitors and colleagues who are natives of Shanghai were in agreement.
Supposedly, it's a dirty, polluted city with bad air quality, little culture and depressing architecture. Great for making a buck or spending a buck, but at least a dozen cities in China have more to offer. Right off the bat, you lose credibility if you say Shanghai is better than Beijing.
But perhaps you know better than my Chinese friends.
