Shanghai Noon till Night – 8 Photos of Shanghai


I originally intended TopMiles to be a site that focused solely on aspirational hotel & air travel using miles. However, the best part of any trip is not the unlimited Krug or free lounge food, but rather being able to explore different cities and soak in their culture, albeit only for a brief moment.

As there is a ton of information out there on what to do in Shanghai (I’d highly recommend using WikiTravel to plan your trip), the following photos are just a sample of what Shanghai has to offer.
