What are your interests and how old is your daughter?

DO stay on the Puxi side near the centre of town. It is not necessary to be on the Bund.

DO you want an apartment (the same cost of a 4/5 star hotel with laundry, 2 bedrooms, Televisions and kitchen or just a hotel room?

Arrange for a tour to a water town. Wuzhen, Tongli, Xitang or you could go to Suzhou or Hangzhou (gardens and lakes but packed with tourists)

Also serach Shanghai itineraries at this website for other ideas from many other familes.

Purchase a Lonely Planet guide and use taxis rather than go on tours for the day. That gives you flexibility with your child who may otherwise be bored to tears or hire a private guide just for your family.

You should visit the Shànghai Municipal History Museum in the basemnt of the Oriental Peal Tower. A must for anyone going to Shanghai, especially with children.
