Shanghai

I always wanted to go to Shanghai (上海), the largest city in China but unfortunately we have been there only for 2 nights and have seen only the Bund by the bank of the Huangpu River and the 'Yuyuan Garden', a traditional garden in the Jiangnan style.
First city atraction we saw after landing in Shanghai airport was 'Yuyuan Garden'. It is really a nice place with all those small shops, little streets around and tea house in the middle, created only for tourists. There was a lot of people from all around the world and for the first time I felt relief because nobody was looking at me! I know this is silly observation but after Shenyang and Jilin where people stop talking when I am entering the restaurant;) it was a good feeling.
Shanghai is huge, fast and of course living in here is very expensive, especially for tourists. All prices are doubled or tripled for foreigners and usualy there is no option for barganing. Good I had support of my chinese husband who could get some presents cheaper;)

On the second day we went to see 'The Oriental Pearl Tower' which is located in modern Pudong district. We took a boat on Huangpu River to have better look at the Tower and other modern skyscrapers. We had great time even though the weather wasn't good.
