We arrived in Shanghai and found our hotel near to the Bund (though not as near as the travel agents seem to describe it as)... and in good Beaver fashion...proceeded to walk until our feet hurt.
Shanghai's highlights included great food (including more xiao long bao), amazing city views, some shopping. Dad started visiting Mi stores, and forced the kids to go visit at least 3 in the time we were there. We enjoyed the harbour crossing (underwater) and forced the girls to do some studio photos which turned out lovely.
The girls found that they absolutely loved bubble-waffles (which are best with pearl milk tea)...and we proceeded to try this combination at a number of stores throughout town.
At the Shangahi Hero's memorial.
Oriental Pearl Tower, which features a glass floor viewing deck. Keira immediately went out on the deck and was quite happy looking down on the world...but Mummy wasn't so keen!
On the first day in Beijing, we'd seen hawkers selling fruit on a stick coated in toffee... At the time we'd been looking for dinner so didn't stop, and as usual, when it came time to find one, we couldn't find them anywhere. But we aren't quitters...so after a couple of hours of searching the streets of Shanghai, we found the prize...which was sickeningly sweet and delicious.
