Goodbye Malaysia, a must take photo in front of Air AsiaX plane. We arrived in Hangzhou at about 1.30pm, taking the train straight to Shanghai and checked in hotel at about 7pm. It was a really long journey taking up one whole day. Quickly we grabbed out winter coats and jackets and rushed out to experience winter. It was too cold unbearable and the temperature dropped even worse after dinner. There were construction everywhere, kinda spoil the view along Shanghai Bund overlooking the city. We walked along Shanghai Bund for some one hour and rushed back into hotel to rest, preparing for next day.
The next moring, we checked out any shops nearby that sell breakfast. It was too early that restaurants were still closed. It was winter, so the day started earlier. End up, we bought some meat paos from this shop. Overall the pork was really sweet. Some said too salty, anyway I loved it.
We saw some groups of people doing tai chi along the road or under roof or next to a building. There was something I didn't manage to snap which is the Chinese loves playing badminton. We saw many people playing badminton in heavy winter jackets, at town, or during hiking in a park.
Somewhere nearby Yuyuan (Yu garden) , lots of gold jewellery shops along the road.
2010 is Tiger year. They already started setting up this tiger statue from Pepsi cans.
Next we went to City Temple. They collected fees for us just to go in take picture. It was not cheap either. The place was so small hardly a size of 6 badminton courts, and tourists were not allowed to go upstairs. Everywhere in Shanghai and Hangzhou need $.
We simply took picture of anything to make full use of the entrace fee.

We walked around Yu Yuan market for a while. They were selling expensive stuff overprice for tourists there.
We queued up for quite sometime for seats in this restaurant. The higher floor you go, the higher minimun expense you have to spend on the food. We went to this floor which required us to spend at least RMB60 per person. The xiao long pao is very expensive on this floor compared to below where crowds were queuing up to eat in the cold weather.
nah. This is the shop name. See from the tissue packaging?
We tried some cold and hot dishes and 4 baskets of xiao long pao. They were divine sweet xiao long pao. Juice splitting into our spoon, each bites spelt heaven. We spent over RMB360 for 6 people.
At Yuyuan Garden entrance. 30 yuan each i think the fee.

Remember the famous Pearl Oriental tower in Shanghai?

Remember the famous Pearl Oriental tower in Shanghai?
At first we wanted to go up the tower but it cost over RM100 to get up there. No point if we go to half the tower right? So we decided a smarter way. If we want to see the tower, we should not be in the tower. That's why we took the cruise along the Huangpu river which cost us I cant remember is rmb70 or RM70. In this way, we can view both sides of the river, we can see the city and the bund.
That's the end of second day from my trip in Shanghai. I am suffering from flu right now due to the coldness back there.
