I also went to Beijing last Dec. 2005.
Temperature in Great Wall (Badaling route) is -10 degree Celsius and the pathway is slippery due to the snow.

Because of climate changes temperature is becoming unpredictable, take for example last year, the winter arrive late.

Since the expo venue is accesible by subway (Line2), why don't you go to the city (Radisson Hotel) just near the Peoples Square subway station. From here you can explore Shanghai. Subway train is not a problem, every 5 minutes trains arrive.

I have some foreigner friend who once stay in Renaissance Pudong and they've complained of lack of nigthlife in that area.

Here are the photos taken from the Bund (Pearl Tower , Huangpu River & Old buildings)

The best timing punta sa china is during our summer time. Kasi spring pa lang sila dun. temp is around 15-25C

. pinaka mainit around july. then okay ulit pag mga september till November. Tapos pasok na sila sa winter till Feb.

both are good cities, savor the place and the food. my advice is grab the oppurunity to eat the food the city is famous for, or even the exotic ones.

been to Beijing 5 times last year. Shanghai is a better city for me.
