New Heights bar and restaurant at three on the bund is also nice for cocktails and views.

The best martinis in town are at JW Lounge on the 40th floor in Marriot, Tomorrow Square near peoples park.

www.dragonfly.net.cn is the place for a nice and relaxing massage for the moments you had enough of China.

Nice list.
Some additional tips:

Airport Arrival

Make sure you stand in the right taxi line.

There are two: One for rides close to the airport and one for rides into town. You probably need the latter.

Pick up one of the many free English magazines that are available at most expat bars, restaurants etc. to get even more ideas what you can do.

Taxis

1. During rush hours it can be hard to find an available taxi. Be slightly pro-active when you see an empty one approaching, start moving in front of other people waiting and get in the back seat while the guy in the front seat is still paying. It seems impolite, it actually is, but standing in the rain for half an hour is no fun either and it is done all the time.

2. Another way to increase your chances is go to a nearby Hotel and stand in line there.

Food

Try out lots of Chinese food. If you like your stomach to act the same as before you arrived ask them to be easy on the peppers. Say "Bu yao la"

If I come up with more tips I'll add them later.

Keep away from dodgy looking guys offering "DVD, Rolex and Massageeeee".

Add art to that list. The "art student scam" is more common in Beijing, I think, but it exists in Shanghai too. Young, friendly, English-speaking Chinese "art students" will seem very eager to be your friend and show you around, but the "tour" always ends in an art store. The paintings, which the "student" claims are originals by his teacher, are actually just prints of famous paintings.

Don't fall for that scam.

Great advice mate.

If I was to add anything, I'd say that the Moganshan Road art community is worth a trip, good for getting a feel for some of the different aspects of Shanghai.

On the nightlife side I'd recommend DKD for those into the heavy trance thang, or their slightly more relaxed chill out bar Tempo Space. Barbarossa in People's Park is pretty unique, and like it or loath it, Park 97 is still a viable alternative to Bar Rouge as a place to see and be seen, and with a much more local crowd.

I'd take Wagas above Element Fresh ten times out of ten and suggest tardis restaurant "baoluo" on Fumin Road as a good introduction to actual Shanghainese cuisine.

You have given me an idea. I think I'll write a blog about life in Macclesfield. eg How to survive Mill Street on a Friday neet. Who is "Five For a Pound Yer Lighters" and much much more...advice?

Shak,
You are a man of your word. Thank you for bringing this great idea to fruition. Reading your blog got me so excited to visit Shanghai. I gave the link to Vicky to send to all the speakers too. See you soon. Save me a trance dance. Smooches, Suz

Shak Attack- Thank you so much! This is quite useful and brilliant. The world needs more people like you.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon! Elizabeth

Great blog and great advice...
Glad I stumbled onto you via Technorati...

Great list and follow ons. Very comprehensive.

If you have to choose a short list:

1. Urban Planning Museum (People's Square) - The museum that best captures Shanghai's rapid development. It's a WOW experience.

2. Element Fresh @ Portman Ritz Carlton (Nanjing Lu & Xi Kang Lu) - You need a sandwich, you need a healthy salad, you need a smoothie and you want to offer your Chinese friends some local fare alternatives-- you found the right Element.

3. Get Mobile Guanxi - Buy a local phone (less than $50) and send a message to Guanxi (88504)- SMS Directory offering listings in English and then you can reply "C" so you can show your cab driver where you want to go. Invaluable!!

Kudos, Shak!
