4) Stampede Karting View In Map
Rev your engines! This is Shanghai’s best go-karting arena and the largest in all of Asia. It looks like a racetrack stuck inside a futuristic discotheque, and the trance jams enforce this notion, but that’s definitely a good thing. If you don’t believe me check out their website to see the video advertisement.

7) Yiqinxing Indoor Skiing View In Map
If ice skating wasn’t enough to cool you off on a hot and muggy Shanghai summer day, try hitting the slopes at this indoor skiing facility. It’s a bit out of town and the slopes are all modest greens for beginners, but if you’re just craving a piece of winter, this is it.

8) Sunny Beach at the Cool Docks View In Map
Skiing and ice skating ain’t your cup of oolong? For the beach bum, head to the manmade Sunny Beach at the Cool Docks. There are lounge chairs and a magnificent view of Pudong’s skyscrapers, and (best of all) it’s your best place to catch a tan without having to travel to Hainan. Try the trendy restaurants across the street at the Cool Docks for eats.

9) Massage
OK, so massage parlors are EVERYWHERE in Shanghai, but as we all know the quality of most of them are quite under par for lack of a better term. Try Dragonfly for a relaxing evening instead. There are six branches across the city and you can rest assure that you’ll get a great massage at a reasonable price.

Take a break from debating football at the edge of the bar with complete strangers and check out this truly incredible acrobatics show. Now, you may be thinking “boring”, as I was before going, but trust me, this is one of the coolest shows I’ve ever seen! For astonishing acrobatics with a modern twist coupled with dizzying lights and electro jams, buy a ticket to ERA Intersection of Time at Shanghai Circus World. Thank me later.

I heard they have good mens massage too. It's probably the highlight of many a men's visit.
