A Date With Shanghai / Wuzhen (我与上海、乌镇有约)

Day 6, woke up and found myself in Shanghai this morning!
Gonna did some exploration on this big city today!
Cant wait for it! =)

However, did endure some bad moments early in the morning in Shanghai~
We plan to visit the 94 storeys high Shanghai World Financial Center (上海环球金融中心)~
But, due to the poor visibility from above, the plan need to be reshuffled a bit~
So, a walk at the famous Shanghai Coast (上海滩)kickstart our day in Shanghai!

*Shanghai Pearl Oriental Tower (上海东方明珠塔)being surrounded by the heavy mist*

*It was just so misty all around!*

*The mist really spoil the picture!* ='(

So, basically just endure some short moment there~
After that, the tour guide tried to call the people from the Shanghai World Financial Centre there~
And they said the visibility there was completely zero!
The plan need to be delayed again and instead of paying a visit there~
We were brought to this place instead:-

*Shanghai "HILLMANN" Cutlery

This company focuses mainly on all the kitchen utensils ranging from all sort of knives, chopping board to men's shavers~
And there was one word to describe all those products----->Sharp! (Or i should add on the word "Extremely"!)
All the products being sold there would definitely lessen your work's in the kitchen~
So, dont miss out on this place too if you are in Shanghai! =)

Afterwards, all of us were being taken to our lunch~
And at there, we managed to taste this:-

*The famous Shanghai's dumpling (小笼包)! Slupp, prepare for some crunchy bite! =p*

Hmm, we received a good new after our lunch~
Well, we can now go to the Shanghai World Financial Center!
The visibility there had already improved!! =)

And here's us in the 94th floor~GOSH! =="

*On my left was the ex tallest building in China, while on my right was the tallest building in China now!(P.s:The building that looks like a chopping board or saw is the Shanghai World Financial Center)*

*Spotted a view outside from where I stand!*

 *Arggh, the strong sunlight costs us dearly!Sorry folks*

*Fly me to the top of the world! =p*

Were given 15 minutes up there walking around~
Well, we can went up but the conditions were only slightly better than this morning~
So some of us just capture these pictures from the computers there instead:-

 *The view in the morning*

 *The view at night*

 *The view under special condition, misty!*

Haha, those three pictures looks like the real one huh? =p

So, after enjoying the moment on top of the world,
sadly we were brought down to earth again~ ='(
However, did spotted some magnificent evening scenes outside the center! =)

*All the buildings at a glimpse*

*My photogenic dad & mom posing =)*

*Not forgetting to have a family photo*

*And a last glimpse of the center before leaving!*

For more info about the 492m center, check out this link guys!

So, as the evening approached, sad to say,
our moment in Shanghai were in countdown mode~
And after we were being brought to the restaurant there to have a last dinner in Shanghai,
the kind-hearted tour guide and driver managed to sort out some time for our last activity in Shanghai!
That was-----> A walk in the Shanghai Coast at night! (That walk in the morning was not enough!)
Sincerely, thanks a lot to both of them! =)

Seriously, a trip to Shanghai wouldnt be perfect without a trip to the Shanghai Coast at night!
Dont believe me?
Well, once again, let the piccha's do the talkings then!

*The buildings nearby! Love the combinations of the colour! =)*

 *With lil bro in front of the "Golden Palace" ~*


*Shanghai At Night~*

 *Dad and mom posing with "The Pearl Oriental Tower" behind~*

 *Well, with a phrase of I LOVE SHANGHAI before leaving!XDD*

Well, Shanghai totally rocks!
Really enjoy all the moments here~
Even though it is a short moment that I'm here, but still, can be proud of my attendance here! XDDD
All those footsteps on this city, I will never ever forgot till the end of my life!
And for sure, will be back to do some further exploration in this city in the future! =)

So, after 2 hours of driving, we left the big city and found ourselves in a old village~
The name of the village was Wuzhen~
Well, we arrived there almost 10pm with a tired body, so there's nothing much for us to do~
So, here's some photos on this town before signing off!

*Wuzhen (乌镇), here I am!*

 *Wuzhen at night can be charming too!*

So, that's all for day 6~
Do stay tuned for day 7 and my next post:-

*A Date With Wuzhen / Hangzhou (我与乌镇、杭州有约)*
