Shanghai, China (上海)

Oriental Pearl TV Tower (东方明珠电视塔) is the landmark of Shanghai, located at Pudung Park at Lu Jia Zui (陆家嘴). My family and I joined a local tour for the boat experience on the river. We seem been cheated because they delayed the schedule and late to pick us up after the ship arrived to the terminal. Anyhow, I was surprisingly to capture quite a good view of the scene of oriental pearl tv tower on a moving boat. The ship went around the city area for sight seeing of night scenery. You will see The Bund (外滩), the attractive ancient building in the city lighting up along the river, you can't take it out of your sight.

 

 

The height of the tower is 468metres, contained a meseum, 2 sightseeing floors and a rotating restaurant. We travelled up to the top sphere by lift. We were so excited when we saw the tempered clear-glass floor in this high rise tower. It is a bit scary yet funny. I don't even dare to step on it, however, I done it quickly because I've been travelled along way from Malaysia, there wouldn't have the second chance for me to come up here again. You could spot all buildings surrounded you, watching people underneath your feets. You're on top of the Shanghai!

Many tourists visit Shanghai Xin Tian Di (新天地), which is an urban tourist attraction that holds the historical and cultural legacies of the city. Shanghai Xin Tian Di is a fashionable pedestrian street composed of Shikumen and modern architecture style.

YuYuan Garden (豫园), where the temple (城皇庙) located.  There are temples inside the garden, you have to pay admission fee to enter to the temple, for making a wish or praying. The buildings are so stunning especially when the light up. There are six main scenic areas in YuYuan garden: Sansui Hall, Wanhua Chamber, Dianchun Hall, Huijing Hall, Yuhua Hall and the Inner Garden. 

Nanjing Road, is one of the famous shopping arcade in Shanghai. (南京路，步行街). The British buildings have been reconstructed and transformed into retail shops.

Food is one of the to-do-list in Shanghai. Especially xiao long bao (小笼包). The picture below is the bund filled with soup and served with straw. Do not suck the straw immediately because it is really hot.

Here is the recommended local famous xiao long bao,  Jia Jia Tang Bao. It is cheap and served with many xiao long bao in big cage. There are various flavour of Xiao Long Bao such as pork, crab meat, prawn and others. You should try on it!
