James: I just returned from a 3-week tour of the mainland and I would rank the top 3 things I saw as:

1) Terra Cotta Warriors/Emporor Qing's Tomb in Xi'an...very impressive in person!
2) Beijing (Great Wall, Forbidden City + more)
3) Shanghai city area and Suzhou city area and gardens (1.5 hour drive from Shanghai)

#1 and #2 are almost equal, slight edge to the Warriors though. Wish I had more time in Shanghai, I only had 1.5 days. I will be going back to visit Shanghai in a couple years for a week or so.
