Shanghai is a great city, went there during x-mas time, great food and great girls(far better then ones in soutern Asia)!!! As for Beijing, I didn't enjoyed it too much, the food isn't my taste, and mostly boring site seeing(Great wall and Forbidden city).

You gotta check out the bars in Shanghai, the night life is hyped!!

Yeah, I don't like Beijing much but Shanghai is a city I wouldn't mind living and working in. If you stick to bigger hotels and nice areas, English will get you by okay, but if you go out around town, you'll need some Chinese skills.

And yes, the night life is pretty good out there nowadays! Sorry, no specific recommendations though--I've only been in either city twice.
