Shanghai, a place where I wanted to go for a long time, is an undisputed city of fun. Although not much historic sites to see, there are
unlimited no. of places and restaurants to hang out.
I spent 2 full days squirreling around the shopping centres and restaurants, watching people rushing into the subways, catching
taxis from places to places, I did have a lot of fun. At last I enjoyed a full night view at the Bund, and observed the famous
"Lights out" moments.
Getting off my first ever flight to China.
Maglev ... the magnetic technology.
It doesn't matter where you are, it is always crowded in China.
Top speed of Maglev is 431km/h.
Maglev at 0km/h, hahaha ...
Restaurant (on Fuzhou Rd) serving authentic Shanghai food.
Shanghai meatballs!
Garlic Shrimps.
End of Nanjing East Road.
Shanghai Commercial Bank at the Bund.
The famous "Peace Hotel" in Shanghai.
The Bund.
The view from the Bund.
A city of aliens, ... just kidding ...
This hand-cart added some irony to the modern city of Shanghai.
Nanjing Road Pedestrian Section.
Look carefully, the scaffold is made out of steel beams, not bamboos ..., very untraditional.
Ironic enough, they offered this "Bus" service in the Nanjing Rd Pedestrian Section.
The ultimate Shanghai Train Station ...
Looking for your bicycle?
Hmm ... which way should I go ?
My first ever MacDonald's meal in China was a Double Cheese Burger meal.
Shanghai International Book Store ...
12 languages on both sides of the main entrance.
Designated Parking for bicycles, very efficient.
Yuyuan district (aka Shanghai Old Street district).
Shanghai Old Restaurant.
A very typical shopping district for tourists.
There were about 100 of these old-style buildings in the Yuyuan area
Another one ...
Yes, ...even STARBUCKS got a peice of the tourist pie here.
Another restaurant ...
This restaurant is famous for its "Sau Lung Bao".
I lined up for about 40 mins to get here to take this picture.
It'd better be good !
Hm .... juicy ....
This was the manufacturing process (part 1).
This was the manufacturing process (part 2).
This was the manufacturing process (part 3).
What it said, "16 dumplings for 8 RMB".
Shanghai does have a parking problem ...
The Bund at night time.
Wow ...
Building by building was lit up by different colours.
Restaurants and lounges opened on the rooftop of these buildings ....
Peace Hotel at night.
Another look at the north side buildings ....
What else can I say? Enjoy !
Lights out at about 10:35pm.
Same for this side of the Bund.
Peace Hotel Lobby.
I asked the concierge and they said these clocks were quite original from France.
