I’m Back From Shanghai !!
Finally. After 8 activities-packed days in Shanghai….. I’m BACK!!! To be exact, it was not Shanghai trip but a round-up trip covering Shanghai, Hangzhou, Wuzhen, Nanjing, Suzhou, and Wuxi…. all in 8 days! It is normal when we book a vacation package to China that seldom travel agencies would organise trip to only 1 single traval destination or city of China. Instead, few cities in the same region of China would normally be covered in a single package unless it is a ‘Free and Easy’ package where only flight ticket and accomodations are included. For example, if someone wishes to visit Suzhou by all-inclusive package, he would need to book a vacation package that covering few cities in the South east region of China, like the one I booked and just got back from. There isn’t any or very few vacation packages that let you spend 8 days in Suzhou alone.
Since this is my first travel to Shanghai and even China (and heard well enough bad experiences of security threats and con incidence), I found it alright and made more sense to join this kind of all-inclusive travel package. However, after got back from Shanghai, I realised 8 days are basically nothing if you want to explore most of the travel sites of these cities and I would say only 30% of them are covered in my trip. Moreover, social securities are found to be much better than expectation due to the continuing effort of China government to revive its image.
These are the two photos of China and Shanghai’s trademark: The Bund of Shanghai and bicycles. In this coming weeks, I will post more and more stories of my first travel to China and its biggest city, Shanghai.

Oh, my, that sounded like a full packed trip! I would have needed much more time 🙂
The second photo is fabulous, both of you and the background!

- November 27, 2008I am Chinese from Shanghai, yeah, there do have many foreigners to worry many many things before trip to China. I think that is a kind of true feelings to all on this planet. New to a place, secure or not? This apply to Chinese as well. But in the end situation is not bad all.
