After a long and exciting day of sight-seeing in Shanghai. We are finally on our train bound for Hangzhou. It seemed like we did everything there is to do in Shanghai, all in one day. We visited The Bund (a tourist area on the Huang Pu River), went to the top of Oriental Pearl TV Tower for a 360 degree view of Shanghai, walked through Yuyuan Gardens which have been around for over 400 years and visited the Shanghai historical museum and the Urban Planning Expo Center. We also had delicious meals for both lunch and dinner at local restaurants. Our guide Nick did a wonderful job showing us around Shanghai and was very appreciative of the Detroit Tigers t-shirt we gave him as an additional gift.
Our train is a high-speed bullet train so it should take us about 45 minutes to get to Hangzhou. It travels at about 300 km/hr.
We haven't been able to post many pictures yet because we haven't been in a hotel long enough to get online. Hopefully we'll have time tomorrow. By then we should know when we'll be meeting Juliet. We're both excited and a little nervous.
