I haven't traveled in China extensively. I've never been on my own, it's always a work trip. Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou. Out of those four Mainland cities, Shanghai in my opinion is vaaastly superior in basically every way. The French Concession is legit one of the nicest areas in East Asia. It's gorgeous. Hongkou is fantastic too. Shanghai's colonial history makes for a far more cosmopolitan feel - both architecturally and among the population - than you'll likely find in any other Mainland city.
