The largest City on the planet is Shanghai (depending on what metric you use) and a hotbed for amazing modern architecture — I had to visit. The better half goes there for work once a year and I decided to tag along for a long weekend. Thanks to United for offering a very reasonable airfare and my work schedule lightening up for a couple of days. Over the next week or so I’ll be putting together my trip report, as follows:
- Introduction
- UAL 835: ORD-PVG (United Economy)
- Shanghai MagLev
- Hotel Indigo – Shanghai
- Private Bike Tour – French Concession & Old Town
- Shanghai Street Food
- Public Markets: Food and Pet
- Chinese Foot Massage
- Pudong Architecture
- Mr & Mrs Bund – A Modern Eatery by Paul Pairet
- Yuyuan Garden
- Shanghai Metro System
- Shanghai Pudong International Airport
- UAL 836: PVG-ORD (United Economy)
- Shanghai Wrap Up
What an exciting yet whirl wind trip to Shangahi. You’ll see the details over the next week or so, but I had a really great time. It just goes to show what a little planning and properly set expectations can do for you. Also, pardon me for the title of this Trip Report — I struggled to come up with something clever and this was the best I could get.
