Very hot in Shanghai today – bit hard to know how hot cause Mark’s usual source of such information – Google search is blocked here! Checked in about 10.30 am had a rest and freshen up and then walked about 10 mins to the Bund area – had an explore – went through a cool cable car tunnel (Bund Sightseeing Tunnel) under the river and then up the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower for lookout over the city. Did a tiki tour of the city then jumped on a twilight river tour – whereas the city is perhaps a little drab and dusty during the day, at night it comes alive as the buildings old (neo-classic) and new (all shapes & sizes) on both sides of the bund are lit up with lights many quite fantastic creations. Fascinating! Ongoing view of the lights from our window! Drinking heaps of water!!
