Shanghai: Part VI

On my last day in Shanghai, Isabel and I started off by exploring the Bund, the harborside swath of European-style buildings. The inscription below was on one of the buildings, and I snapped it because I thought it was appropriate.

Then we took the... dum dum dum... sightseeing tunnel over to the Pudong side. It was, um, interesting. There weren't sights to be seen, per se, unless you count the epileptic flashing lights that surrounded our little roller-coaster-style car as a sight.

Once safely on the other side of the river, we checked out the Shanghai history museum at the bottom of the Oriental Pearl TV tower. It had some cool life-size dioramas of traditional street scenes and old-fashioned shops, and also this miniature model of the Bund. (The day was just as gray outside, so we opted not to go to the top of the TV tower because we figured there'd be no view.)

View from the Pudong side over to the Bund.

Of course we had dumplings for lunch. What else?

Then we went to a fabulous knock-off market by the science museum and spent the rest of my rebminbi on bags and shoes before I headed back to HK!

An amazing visit.
