PHOTO POST; Shanghai: Day 4. // June 15, 2010

For the fourth day we were in Shanghai, we roamed around the city without any itinerary and surprisingly ended up going to pretty interesting places. Before lunch, we headed to East Nanjing Road, which is closer to the city’s center, if I’m not mistaken. We went to The Bund, from which we could see the infamous Shanghai skyline from across the river (Wusong, I think).

We were then able to go see an interesting exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art, which was very near a nice park in People’s Square. At night, we went to Xintiandi, which is gorgeous. It’s a very popular area with lots of restaurants and bars. Most interesting: the architecture and feel of the place. Very traditional meets modern; I quite loved looking around here.

Then, we had excellent shao mai and dumplings for dinner.

Brother.

I don’t know, I like taking photos of strangers.

More photos under the cut; of the exhibit, Xintiandi and some more
from The Bund, and the walk back home.

Park! They were planting in a new tree.

Lots of table games, and lots of spectators.

I must admit, I do not understand.

Best shao mai in the world, pretty much.

My tea & a book.

The walk back home.

Cherries!

1. Re. the dog pictogram, maybe it has to do something with the ban on eating dogs and cats in China? D: Strange and scary!

   And I seriously want to befriend that shao mai!

3. Fran, ang labo! Haha nakalagay kasi sa isang sign (drawing also), bawal daw pets sa loob. Tapos… bawal rin sila magserve?

   Cute no? :D
