2009.10.04 Shanghai City

09/28-10/6 was my schedule in Shanghai, it was so bored in the first days, I had nothing to do due to the whether was bad, and also 'cause I am staying with my dad in Songjiang where it is far of Shanghai down town like 1 hour by subway. So, I was having the same life as Taiwan, watching taiwanese TV shows and staying at home using MSN.

10/04, due to I am leaving Shanghai on 10/06, I went to down town Shanghai to staying in my aunt's place. Then I started to hang around through Shanghai City from very early morning, I've been totally walking about 8 hours totally, the problem was not walking, I was totally exhausted due to the 7 KG bag that I have been carried in the whole route.

Firstly I went to Shanghai Stadium to see some travel information, and then take a metro to Xintiandi, and then walk from Xintiandi to the coast of Huangpu River, walk to take a boat to cross the river and go to Oriental Pearl Tower.

Since this still was within the period of Independence holiday of China, from 10/1-10/8, almost every places are filled of chinese people, some metro stops has been closed to control the traffic, hard to get a taxi in the street. Even take an elevator of Oriental Pearl tower have to wait for more than 30 mins, you cannot imagine the amount of people.

Eastern Pearl is one of the tallest tower in Asia, it was made in 1994, it was the tallest of China until 2007, after 2007 Shanghai World Financial Center becomes the tallest building of China.

There are a transparent floor in the 263 m, in which is very funny, it will be a little scared looking down and walk on it.

Well, after walk a lot, I come back to my aunt place and preparing to go the next day to Suzhou and that will be another history...
