Shanghai

We flew on to Shanghai and walked down to the Bund, the waterfront promenade lined with beautiful English colonial buildings on one side, and skyscrapers on the other. We also visited the old section of town with meandering alleyways jam-packed with visitors. The enormous number of people visiting Shanghai over the October break was beyond belief, and it was a struggle in some places to move without getting stuck in the crowds.

Zhouzhiang is a beautiful ancient canal village about one hour away from Shanghai. The old architecture and romantic looking stone bridges were just beautiful! Unfortunately, half of Shanghai decided to join us and we spent the day fighting to get through the masses of crowds and were unable to really stop and admire where we were!
