Cultural China has put up a page for those of you looking to get out of Shanghai for a day of greener activities. Countryside Tours of Shanghai lists 10 different spots that all look family friendly (a few farms, couple of gardens, and some watertowns). Hard to say how new these places are, or what historic value they may have, but any opportunity to break away is still an opportunity.
