[Shanghai] - Yuyuan Garden & City God Temple

 
Attractive ancient architectures intermingle with futuristic ultra-modern skyscrapers
at Yuyuan Garden's background.


Built in 1855, the Huxinting Teahouse at the Yu Garden pond remains in use in 2018


Love this classical Chinese Garden with pavilion and pond.
No wonder it's known as "the crown of beauty in Southeast China"

 
Yu Yuan Gardens Bazaar

It was like stepping into the ancient China portrayed in Chinese movies.


Here really "people mountain people sea"

 



Tea House on the second floor of the building.

You might want to take a rest after strolling and treat yourself with some local snacks here.


Famous Shanghai Soup Dumpling.

 
You can order foods that lining on the long tables...
 
There are also lots of variety of dim-sum... 
We ordered xiaolongbao instead of giant soup dumpling.
 
 It is also one of the Four National Cultural Markets, along with Panjiayuan Garden (潘家园) and Liulichang Street (琉璃厂大街) in Beijing, as well as the Confucius Temple in Nanjing.


City God Temple (城隍庙) is a Taoist temple located beside Yuyuan Garden.



Fuyou Lu Market



This garden is accessible from the Shanghai Metro's
Line 10 and Line 14 Yuyuan Garden station.

[Shanghai] - The Bund & The Huangpu River Night Sailing Cruise

Huangpu River Cruises are also available from morning to night. But I would recommend night sailing because everything looks beautiful when lit up under the night sky. 

My hubby booked the ticket from Klook, but it needed to be exchanged for an actual ticket first... 

Ticketing is available at Shiliu Pu Pier.

Well, you can come here and purchase the ticket directly too
but it's better to book it if you want to secure your cruise...

As you can see, there are queues at the various booths...

The Ferry for the evening to night sailing is scheduled every 15-20 minutes,
 the morning ferries are less frequent.

The 2.5 decker cruise was docking at the pier...

 
A few similar ferries are cruising along the Huangpu River.

 
There are tables and chairs inside, but meals are not served.

Let's go up to the ferry rooftop to check out the view...

Hey, that ship is so cute, fancy and colorful!

And this longer one might be a romantic dinner cruise?

Citi Tower façade lighting displaying Chinese words:
❤️ 你 (I Love You)...

  
Colourful futuristic skyscrapers at Pudong on the side of Lujiazui CBD district, including 
Shanghai Tower and Shanghai World Financial Center, and The Oriental Pearl TV Tower.

 
The iconic Oriental Pearl Tower is not just purely for broadcasting; 
you may purchase a ticket to go to the observation deck for a 
360-degree bird's eye view of Shanghai.

What about having a meal at Oriental Pearl Revolving Restaurant?

Do you prefer The Bund or Pudong's skyline?

I love the glowing skyscrapers of Pudong but prefer Neoclassic structures. This place is perfect for harmonising the modern and ancient world.

  
One of the most beautiful night cruises we've had...


Would really recommend The Bund & The Huangpu River Night Sailing Cruise
to admire extraordinary skylines in the evening when the buildings are all brightly lighted up.
