-In Shanghai take an overnight trip and climb Mount HuangShan
-In Beijing goto the Lama Temple for the amazing buddha...trust me I've been twice with two seperate groups no-one hasn't been gobsmacked
-In Beijing go hike the distant section of the Great Wall (Simatai)
-In Xian go to the local antique market...If you are at the right one its NOT targeted for tourists...not easy to find...try to buy a ancient crossbow bolt for $20 (I walked away from the dealer...since he didn't haggle at all it was probably real...I wish I had a mulligan on that one)
-Shanghai Museum

Oh yeah...if you travel by train go overnight and pay for a soft sleeper cab...worth every penny
