My colleague Wei Ching met me at my hotel and we caught the subway to Oriental Sports Centre, the starting point for our ride.
Got a share bike and rode along the river for 13km. It was nice to see a different side to the city.
Then left the bikes and caught a ferry back over the river. Very local.
Then had Shanghainese food and walked a bit more. Finally feeling a little bit more like Asia !
Live insects at the Wansheng Flower and Bird Market...
Marriage market at People's Park...
Walked back and stopped for a much needed rest (and coffee)...
Had a swim at the hotel. My legs are sore ! Then caught a taxi back to the Bund.
Vue Bar at the Hyatt...
In case you want to use the spa !
Traveling toad...
Glass elevator...
In the lobby of the building where Bar Rouge was...
View from Bar Rouge...
Had dinner at Lost Heaven. Fantastic food...
Sunday got up and had breakfast, then a quick walk around Xintiandi. Then check-out and taxi to Longyang Road Station and then the MAGLEV to the airport. Very exciting 6 minute trip.
Pancakes for breakfast...
This building in Xintiandi is the site of the first sitting of the CCP (I think). Whatever it is, it is very significant.
Maglev. Cool...
At the airport, they put me on an earlier flight. First time on Cathay Dragon. Great trip.
