City Series : Shanghai
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Hello, long time before my last posts. I will post more and I won’t leave big blank from now.
Hello Cities
For anyone who haven’t been to China, he/she may know little about China. They may know nothing about how many cities here in China, or they may know little that each city has its own culture and its own rhythm. So I will try to introduce some cities that I have been to. So you may not miss some big cities when you are around China.
Shanghai
I know Shanghai more than any other cities, like Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and others. I got my university education in Shanghai for 4 years. And after another 4-year working in Shanghai. I am familiar with Shanghai. It seems that I will never be lost in any corner of this city. I once even spent about 10 hours walking across half of Shanghai all by foot. Well, I do love Shanghai. So Shanghai seems my home. 
Shanghai is located in the middle east coast, just on the mouth of Changjiang River. While Beijing is the capital of China Gov, Shanghai is sure the commercial metropolis of China. High tower business buildings are all around, shopping malls and shopping streets mark this city as a fantastic and fashionable city.
Traffic is very convenient in Shanghai, two air ports, 8 subway lines and dozens of highways to neighbor cities. If you are visiting Hangzhou, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou or Wuxi, you should also visiting Shanghai, as there are buses or trains bring you to Shanghai within 3 hours. Vice versa, feel free to visit these cities, you will have lots of funs.
While staying in Shanghai, I think you visit Huangpu River. When night comes, all buildings on both east and west sides will be decorated with beautiful lights. Walking along the river and enjoy the wind, chatting with friends, or maybe having some classes of beer there should be a unforgettable experience.
OK, late night now. Shanghai is quiet. I will just stop here and I will talk about Shanghai a lot as I am living in Shanghai. So do worry. I am here welcoming all of you all the time.
