Things to do in Shanghai, Shanghai Region: The Best Events
The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

1. ChinaJoy
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 10 reviews
ChinaJoy is China's yearly gaming trade show filled with booths, electronic displays and flashy presentations held across several halls at the Shanghai New International Expo center. The expo is meant to be an industry trade event for the Chinese game industry, but many game enthusiasts and spectators stand in line each year to see the crazy spectacle of the game presentations and the hundreds of "booth babes" hired to draw attention to gaming companies' wares. ChinaJoy offers a mixture of cosplay (costume play), elaborate displays and new technology.
2. F1 - Chinese Grand Prix
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 42 reviews
As a leg of the prestigious Formula One World Championship, the Chinese Grand Prix draws top F1 driving talent to Shanghai every April, and the city's hottest nightclubs host parties to welcome the influx of racing celebrities and moneyed spectators. The race takes place in Shanghai's northernmost suburb, Jiading, at the Shanghai International Circuit. The 5.451km track was designed by Hermann Tike, and the distinct layout – made to look like the Chinese character shang (上) as in Shanghai – features a particularly difficult corner combination that can trip up many drivers.
