I usually like smaller places better anyway...
Shanghai to China's Beijing
Christchurch to New Zealand's Auckland
Essaoiura to Morocco's Marrekech
Marseilles to France's Paris

Those are some great ones. I just visited Christchurch and really enjoyed it - it was in the running here, but I decided I liked Wellington better for NZ.

Shanghai is another good pick, though at this point I almost feel like it's pulling more visitors than Beijing.

I was in Essaouira 3 years ago - it's a great little town. I considered including Marrakech/Fez/Essaouira on this list but couldn't decide which was really the "second city" of the bunch.
