Shanghai
"Shanghai is food, fashion and French."
Said to be the Paris of the East, Shanghai averages a fashion show per day and is known for fusing inspirational, if not controversial, western and traditional designs. In Shanghai you will have access to great regional Chinese flavors as well as the best of Asia's international cuisine.
If architecture is your fancy, this place has the European-inspired Bund, and the atmospheric French Concession where traditional lane houses sit alongside Art Deco masterpieces and modern skyscrapers.
A mixture of east and west, modern and traditional, Shanghai is the place to be if you want to experience the hustle and bustle of contemporary China.
Shanghai also boasts the most English Language schools in all of China.
Beijing

Beijing, was the host of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and leaves a legacy that will be tough for future Olympic cities to top.
Beijing is the Rome of China. It is the seat of the national government and has a full of history from ancient empires to modern movements. When in Beijing, you'll have a slice of the "real China". Here you'll find iconic sites alongside modern art galleries. With a thriving music scene, Beijing's nightlife attracts a more edgy, eclectic crowd.
And that's not all. The Beijing Duck is like none you have ever tasted and Baozi dumplings originated here. From the downtown, you can easily be strolling along the Great Wall in a matter of hours.
