A Date With Wuxi / Shanghai (我与无锡、上海有约)

Day 5!
Perhaps due to the reason that we were heading to the city of Shanghai later~
The mood was just damn excited!! =)
Finally got the chance to visit one of those big cities in China or even the world!!


But first, back to Wuxi(无锡) first~
Hmm, if Nanjing was famous for the production of jade, then Wuxi was famous for their pearl!
Due to the lake of Taihu which was a fresh water lake,
it was an ideal place for all the growth of oyster~
And from there, the citizens here managed to get the shining pearl!

Seems interesting huh?
Yeapp, definitely so!
If U think that jade was a bit old-fashioned even though it was a precious one,
then try put on a pearl instead~
Pearl may not had that much of history as jade possessed,
but still, a pearl did managed to bring out a gorgeous you! =)
And, here did offer you many types of pearl accessories such as pearl bracelet, necklace, ring, ear ring, and even some handphone decorations too!
Plus, it was more cheaper than the cost of the jade!


*If you managed to see your own image on the surface of the pearl, that the pearl was a real and precious one!* =)

*Some pins with pearls! Nice?*

Due to the lower cost, all the ladies in the trip began the tug of war with the pearl sellers!
They decided to gathered around and bought together the same item~
After that they will started to bargain with the pearl sellers about the prices~
And thankfully, they got it!
The pearl seller did lower the price and all of them were just so happy with what they got in the end!
HAHAHA! {We did spent around 500 RMB (人民币) there with some items in the end}!

So, as usual after that visit we went to take our lunch~
And after bidding farewell to the local guide there, we were officially on our way to Shanghai!! =)
And after two hours of bus ride, we are here!

It was really buidlings and skyscrappers everywhere in this 20 million populated city!!


 *On my left*

*On my right*

*Spotted!A temple in the middle of the city!*

So, our first stop at Shanghai would be a shopping street there~
And it was a place where we can get some cheap buyings especially after spending so much days earlier!
Woohoo, thanks to our considering tour guide! =)

 *En route to the shopping street*

*Bamboo! But no sign of a panda ='(

So, after 5 minutes of walking, we reach the shopping street~
And once again, I or we was completely amazed by the surrounding there!
It was just so China style!
And some shops were just completely the same as those thousand years ago?
Here's the proof:-

*Before entering the street*

*Haha, after editing*

So, ladies and gentlemen, fasten on all your seat belts, we are travelling back to time! =p




*The building behind was famous due to the visit of America's ex-president, Bush before!*
*The view there was just simply fantabulous! =)*

Okay, time to back to the real world now! =p
We did some shopping there, before that~
It was really a nice feeling of shuttling between all those old streets~
Highly recommended here! 

Well, after a trip to the past, there was more adventure installed for all of us~
Earlier, we had paid 320 RMB (人民币) to watch two shows~
And one of the shows actually took place here! =)
But, before, of course we were taken to heal our hungry tummy first~

*Our first meal in Shanghai!*

Next, we continued our journey~
Our next stop would be a famous acrobatic group known as "Shanghai ERA acrobatic group“~
And the theme of the show would be:-

*ERA Intersection of Time with the slogan "MISS IT ,U MISS SHANGHAI!*

And the show will take place here:-
*Some said it looks like a durian, some said it looks like it a pineapple?(Malaysian tropical fruits) How about you?*

Well, it turned out that we were not allowed to do some photographing or recording inside the place there~
This was again due to the fact of copyright well reserved there~
What to do, again had to let all of you dissapointed again dear readers~
However, you all can still look out for more about the show here:-


But, seriously guys, dont ever miss it if U're in Shanghai next time!
You will for sure regret for not coming!
All those amazing stuffs, I let you all to rate it by yourself next time~

So, after the show, it's time to check into our hotel~
And it is time to call it a day too!
However, there will be more to come from Shanghai tomorrow! 
Do stay tuned for:-
