Shanghai

Around 6pm we arrived at Shanghai, which meant a trip to the hotel in the dark. As you got closer to Shanghai the view began to get more impressive with bridges and buildings lit up in a range of colours. Perhaps a tad unfair to Beijing, but at that stage i knew i was going to prefer Shanghai.

I am here for a couple of days - given my flight on Sunday happens to be late evening, but only a half day tour is arranged. That said, from what people say travelling around the city is easier than Beijing so it should be easy for me to see some more sights. The half day tour consisted of the Jade Buddha Temple, the Bund (waterfront) and Yu Yuan gardens. All were different to previous experiences on the trip and combined really well.
