    Definitely go to Hangzhou for more than one day if possible, Suzhou and zhujia jiao are probably worth a day too. Yuan gardens is pretty cool to just walk around and the market there has all sorts of interesting things when you get away from the main areas. I found that the markets were really fun, especially Nanjing road West and the science museum. It's a great city though so you'll always find something to do

    Agree with that. It's about 2 hours from Shanghai by train if I remember properly.

    There are some nice museums there and of course there is the bund. I am not a super party person but did head out some nights with people I met in the hostel I stayed at and the bars were dceent for a major city value and every one of them had this awesome dice game that I only ever saw in Shanghai. It's 1 of my abiding memories of the city.
