I'm going for a business trip at Shanghai. I'll stay at Galaxy Hotel at Zhongshan Road form May 12 to 16. After that I will go to Kunming. I would find full day & night free only May 14 (Monday). Would you please suggest how I would pass that day for showing the beauty of Shanghai? I also want to enjoy nightlife of Shanghai. So how & where I could go & pass the time.
I would also find evening time (from 5pm), up to late night, free on May 15 (Tuesday)& 16(Wednesday). So also suggest me to make schedule on those days for evening time.
And also advice me to shop cheaply (not aware for brand product)......leather jacket, casual blazer, shoe. One more thing........I'm also interested to buy an LCD TV (32") and bring it to Dhaka by China Eastern Airlines. Do you think the airlines & china customs will deny bringing it to Dhaka? Could I carry that TV in the cabin luggage or I have to book for that luggage?
I guess, lots of questions & queries I have posted here. But you know visiting any new places would be mess if we couldn't plan for the efficiency.
Thank you for your passion.

Coincidentally I was also at that same hotel (only in the lobby, no further!) yesterday evening.
I suppose the obvious sightseeing locations for you would be the Bund, Yuyuan Gardens & Bazaar, French Concession etc.
Nightlife try Xintiandi , Tongren Lu, Hengshan Lu, Maoming Lu, Fuxing Park etc.
For the evenings, if the weather is good (ie not foggy/misty/raining) then you might want to consider taking a 1-hour cruise on the Whampoa River. The Chinese acrobat performance at Shanghai Circus World is also quite highly recommended.
