Shanghai Day 1
Sunday, July 18, 2010


We were all prepared for flight delay actually. But it turned out that Spring Airlines from Guangzhou to Shanghai was delayed only for 1 hr, probably because it landed at the super old HongqiaoTerminal 1, where rest of the airlines land at Terminal 2.




Old Terminal 1 doesn't have trains to the city!! Had to take cab to Duolun Rd (~90yuan), a well-known cultural street in Shanghai. Although it takes abt 10min to walk to the nearest Metro Station, it is voted as one of the must visit street - antiques, crafts and the famous Old Film Cafe which screens B&W movies.

Old Film Cafe



Shanghai Koala Guesthouse...very homely and showers r hot!

Shanghai Metro








Renmin Square - was trying to identify this building known as the Peace Hotel built in 1929...which is supposed to be iconic n famous because of its "old-shanghai" architecture. But all buildings here look the same - very Victorian style...and we saw Park Hotel instead.








It is wise to download all the Shanghai apps u can find in iTunes. Do not need internet connection, but when u see an iconic place, u can just open the app, locate the place to read abt it! So interesting!!

Next we conquered the few famous streets in Shanghai. Changle street, Xinle Street, both well-knowned for the French influence in the early days. Basically just shop houses with maple trees surrounded- shopping. Forbes actually recommended this cheap Grape Restaurant. It is real cheap and the food is alot!!!








Another shopping district is Huaihai Rd ( divided into East, Middle and West), stretches about 2 Metro stations. You can find H&M, Isetan, Crocs, Mango, Sephora, Nike etc etc...
