Shanghai by night

If you thought this city was impressive during the day, you won't believe how magical it is at night.  On our last night we did a similar walk as the first day along The Bund.   We made sure to enjoy the temperature (which was significantly warmer than Toronto) and took in the famous skyline one last time.  After wandering the streets we headed back to the hostel where we had a few drinks before calling it a night.

The next day before catching our flight we made an important stop at the grocery store where we got tons of goodies for our friends and loved ones back home. I want to thank Maja for being such a great friend and making this trip possible :) and Morgan and Danielle for adding to the fun!

China, you were incredible. I will be back!

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!!
