You went to the wrong place, China’s best old town is Xitang, take the train for one stop to Jiashan south station from Shanghai, and take a taxi from Jiashan to Xitang. That’s place mission impossible 3 was filmed, Tom Cruise pictures were everywhere once, but not anymore.

Nanjing (Southern capital) is the old capital of the Republic of China (currently Taiwan) maybe visit the presidential palace there. It’s also a capital city for the Ming dynasty (late medieval period) before the third Ming Emperor moved the capital into Beijing (or Northern Capital). The city itself is 2500 yrs old. The city however was also subjected to Japanese massacres. I do recommend going to Yunnan province. Best weather for summer (milder weather) because of higher altitude.
