Good Morning Shanghai!



We arrived bright and early in Shanghai and went directly to our hostel to freshen up. Right away the air felt different than in Beijing, maybe it was just because it was warmer or maybe because after everything from the previous day it was just nice to finally be here!

After a quick shower, we headed out to the financial district which is also right by the TV tower.  As soon as we stepped out of the subway we were blown away by this futuristic city, we snapped endless photos from every angle of the TV tower.  Next we walked to the waterfront. We wanted to get to the other side of the river to walk along the Bund, which is where you get a view of that famous Shanghai skyline. We ended up walking much further than we needed to but this turned out to be a good thing because we got to take the ferry across, which made for another awesome experience.  

This city is incredible, the vibe is so modern and futuristic with pieces of Europe and traditional China. I loved it!!
