Temperatures in Shanghai can get extremely uncomfortable during the summer months. If you are tiered of feeling like a roast potato in the middle of the city, I highly recommend a long weekend stay at the Naked Retreats (http://www.nakedretreats.cn/) on Moganshan Mountain. During our stay we were blessed to have two wonderful Ayi's who cooked up some killer English breakfasts with freshly baked bread and all the trimmings each morning before we set out on 6 hour hikes. Moganshan is a sleepy little village dotted with abandoned mansions, where most people seem to know each other and the average age of residents is over 60. A special treat was the filtered well water which we could drink straight from the taps in our Naked Cabin - it was so delicious we filled up a couple of bottles for our trip back to Shanghai.
