A detailed report on a whirlwind trip we tried out on a late-night flight from Haneda! We packed everything into two days with no nights or overnight stays, making clever use of the subway and sightseeing buses. We've proposed a plan that will satisfy even the most ambitious traveler looking to make the most of their short time. We've also covered Shanghai's art spots, gourmet food, acrobatics, shopping, and other popular spots!
