• The Meaning of the Word Shanghai-ed
• Back in the old days , Shanghai was such an
  attractive place for sailors that ship's captains
  often had difficulty putting together a crew when
  it came time to leave port. So they would go down
  to the bar district , drug likely candidates and
  haul them back to the ship .
• When the sailors awoke , they found themselves on
  the high seas. The verb " to be shanghai-ed "
  grew out of this practice , meaning to be carried
  away against one's will .
• With the capital " S " , we are giving the word a
  slightly different meaning. You are still being
  carried away , but this time it's voluntary. So
  You have been Shanghai-ed !

• Introduction to Shanghai
• Shanghai is a scintillating city swirling with
  rapid cultural change. Since market restrictions
  were lifted, Shanghai has embraced the forces of
  business and design and rewritten its rule book
  shaping a fresh, new city that is sophisticated,
  innovative and living a life it has never lived
  before.
• While it can't match the epic history of Beijing
  or Xi'an's grander sights, Shanghai is the
  hotspot of modern China a cosmopolitan city
  buzzing with the concept of 'lifestyle
  revolution', showcased in the architectural
  temples of art, fine dining and contemporary
  urban living on the Bund.

• When To Go?
• Above all, the rule for Shanghai is to lay low
  during, or altogether avoid the Chinese New Year
  the city grinds to a halt and public transport is
  flooded. The rest of winter offers good hotel
  discounts and few tourists.
• Summer is peak season and gets a bit muggy, while
  from September to November the temperate weather
  brings out several interesting arts festivals and
  fairs. These are probably the best months to
  visit but trade fairs and conventions do little
  to bring the prices down from peak season.
