1 Day Trip in Shanghai City

-
Recently I suddenly recall that I ever created a photoblog to share all my photos. This morning I tried to log in to the blog, I found that I didn't update my blog since 2014, I think I really need to have some update to my blog to share my photos again. Let me share with you my one day trip to Shanghai city during my business trip to Jiangsu in 2015.

The Bund, Shanghai
Shanghai is my first place visited in China, although I just only spent 1-day in Shanghai city, I really get impressed by this wonderful land just in 1 day. I stayed in hotel Sofitel Shanghai located on Nanjing road, the most famous and happening walking street in Shanghai with many shopping malls. After I finished my breakfast, I started my day trip in Shanghai city and head to the first destination Tianzifang. 

Since I need to save my expenses for my day trip, I decided to take the metro to Tianzifang. The nearest metro station in Tianzifang is Dapuqiao Station (打浦桥站). It is very convenient to take the metro in Shanghai, it takes about 27mins from Nanjing road to Tianzifang. You can either take the metro from East Nanjing Road Station (南京东路站) or People's Square Station (人民广场站) on line2 (light green), change to line9 (light blue) at the Century Avenue Station (世纪大道站) interchange and take the metro to Dapuqiao Station (打浦桥站). 



Tianzifang, Shanghai

Tianzifang is a fun place, that is a labyrinth of alleyways chock-full of trinket shops, bars, restaurants, and art galleries. There are many tourists who went there to buy souvenirs and taste local foods. You can get some souvenirs at a reasonable price there, I will recommend walking in a few more stores and bargain with the storekeeper, sometimes you may able to get a very low price souvenir there. At the entrance, you can see a monitor indicate the number of visitors in Tianzifang, so you can be able to estimate the waiting time if you want to have some food and drinks in the cafe. 













After spent about 2~3 hours there, I decided to go to my next destination Yu Garden or Yuyuan (豫园）and City God Temple （上海城隍庙）, which located nearby my hotel. Both places are historical sightseeing spots located at Huangpu City, Shanghai, and believed to have need built in Ming Dynasty for more than 400 years. It abuts Yu Garden Bazaar, there are various stores over there, you can found many souvenirs and foods there. You must try the well-known Shanghai Xiao Long Bao （小笼包） and Tang Bao （汤包）, it is highly recommended there. I bought some Xiao Long Bao, Tang Bao, and some local snacks in Yu Garden Bazaar.

After spending the whole afternoon in Yuyuan Garden, I heading to Shanghai's signature sightseeing spot, The Bund (外滩）.  It is about 2km and takes about 25mins to walk from Yuyuan Garden. The Bund, also known as Shanghai Waitan in mandarin, is one of the local famous waterfronts and the symbol of Shanghai. You can see the Oriental Pearl TV Tower across the Huangpu River, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Building, and the Western-style architecture along the Waitan. It is very windy in The Bund, I spent the night and having my dinner (those local snacks bought from Yu Garden Bazaar) while enjoying the night view over there before I went back to the hotel.

Experience in Jurong Bird Park

Today I went to the Jurong Bird Park, there are a lot models over there and they are suffice to kill the capacity of my camera's memory. This trip I had tried the Manual Focus because most of them are confined inside the cage, it is hard to use Auto Focus to aim them. Auto Focus (Seems like block by the cage) Manual Focus Since they are always moving during capturing, so I had manipulated some basic shutter speed and aperture skill. Try to take a panning photo but can't really feel it. Take with different shutter speed Through this trip, I saw a lot colorful birds meanwhile most of them are on verge of extinction due by pollution and disafforestation. To ensure our next generation still able to see these species in future, I think we have to bear the responsibility to protect them. Home 主页>>>

Yesterday I went to the Southern Ridges to trace the Henderson Waves Bridge which is a very unique bridge connecting the Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park. The journey to trace this "legend" bridge was really tiring, I took almost one hour to walk across the jungle to reach there. Anyway this journey I really gained a lot, at least I can reach the place and took a lot nice photos. I departed from the Marang Trail nearby the Harbour Front station on 5.00pm, the distance is very far from the destination and I need to climbed on innumerable staircase to go the place(damn tiring). Luckily on midway can take some rest on Faber Point, during resting I had took some photos there. Faber Point Finally I am near around my destination, I really very excited and almost scream out when I saw the sign board "Henderson Waves". I tried to speed up and hope can reach the bridge as soon as possible. Mount Faber Park Sign Board When I reached there is ar...
