PS - you can't skip Shanghai.  That's basically akin to skipping seeing NYC if you're visiting E coast in US.  WTF? lol

I agree that Shanghai is not as "scenic" as many other places in China - it's such a beautiful huge country.  However you can't skip Shanghai - there's enough culture there to warrant time.

I did do Xian but enjoyed it more many years ago with my mom.  It's crazy built up now.  A completely different vibe.  It's all Cosplay - that's a huge thing in Asia not just China.  Esp Japan. I would stick with Beijing and Shanghai and add a couple other places.  Xian is where the Terracotta warriors are so typically everyone goes there for that.  The wall is also another attraction.  It's like QC - the city is built with walls surrounding it and at night it's all lit up.  It's very cool but it's def a zillion bazillion people.  Like Times Square vibe.

The southern towns are really pretty.  It's a crazy huge country so pick the towns that have what you want whether mountains, water, city feel.  They will all have history pretty much.  I speak fluent mandarin so for me it doesn't matter but if I was like my DH a white guy I"d stick to the larger towns. [/quote]
