Final leg of our tour

Geo: 31.23, 121.47

Can't wait to experience the short Mag-Lev train ride to the Pudong Airport. Also the Museum, the Bund and Nanjing Rd shopping plus the Yuyuan Garden and Market.

Got settled in to our spectacular Marriot hotel about 7pm. Took a short walk down Nanjing Rd and savoured the experience.

Saw the renowned Shanghai Acrobat Show in the evening and it was stupendous! Shanghai ranks as our favourite city, along with Guilin.

Shanghai Marriot City Centre
They saved the best for last! Lovely hotel and rooms, just 5min from the Nanjing Rd shopping precinct.

Nanjing Rd
Lovely shopping mall. Ate a Subway tuna roll and loved it. Bought a swish green laser too.

Skyline from Shanghai Museum
Super morning that became overcast and drizzly late in the day. The Museum was terrific, items up to 5,000 years old, including gold coins with Alexander and Ghengis Khan heads on then.

Pudong Financial District
In 1990 this was farmland. Then the focus on Shanghai development (remember - 1/3 of the world's cranes in Shanghai?). Now over 600 buildings 30+ storeys tall, and still building. Methinks we will be speaking Mandarin not too far in the future...

Fleeced Saunders!
Foolishly publicly telling Rhona to "buy what you want", Mike returned from a fruitless free beer search in the tourist silk store to find he was taken literally. Silk bedding, including a vacu-packed doona and pillows with covers, saw him a broken man...

Old French Concession
Mostly reconstructed but still charming!

Daytime Nanjing Rd
Night was certainly more dramatic. Our guide Rocky did well, but his English was hard to understand when he got excited.

The Bund
Light rain made this exposure difficult, but the lighting is striking.
