Thread: A short trip to Hong Kong and Shanghai with the Thai girlfriend

Great shots. Always enjoy your threads. Thanks.

Magnificent view from your hotel room.

ICC Building light show is interesting. Is it permanent or changing?

Shanghai

After arriving at the Pudong Airport we took the Maglev train into town.

A few places we had a chance to visit while on this trip,……

China Art Museum, Shanghai (it is a nice museum)

Shanghai, Qibao Ancient Town

Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, Shanghai (Shanghai’s, Venice)

Tian Zi Fang, Shanghai (French Concession area)

Few pictures while at the Bund

During our last full day in Shanghai we went to visit the Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum and afterwards had a chance to use Shanghai's subway system (Shanghai Metro) which was very convenient. They announce stations in English and all the stations are marked in English. Next time we visit we’ll use the subway to avoid the traffic here.

Some nice restaurants we were able to try out.

Coconuts Paradise, Shanghai

Lost Heaven, Shanghai

Fifty 8° Grill

While in Shanghai we stayed at the Mandarin Oriental (nice hotel). Some pictures of our room and views from the room (I also included a picture of their pool).

I believe (what I saw) there are three different parts to the light show. Two are in the warm up phase, where you see different characters/objects (little bear, flying birds, clouds, moon/sun, etc.) moving around/coming and going on the building and then the swimmers, who will swim up and down the building (one swimmer dives in). Then there’s the main show of Zodiac signs which is accompanied by music.

Didn’t get a chance to visit the panda’s this trip because of the storm. The Pudong airport wasn’t letting flights leave when we arrived early Monday afternoon.

I am pleased to see the former China pavilion from the Shanghai expo has been successfully repurposed. I daresay all the other expo buildings in that area are now gone.

Another excellent thread slandereth , you do stay in some classy looking gaffs eh, good one

nice thread;
seems u do stay in some very nice rooms :-)

Indeed - Four Seasons is rather splendid. I used to take my team there once a month for high tea. Cost a bomb but well worth it.

Rich bastard... They don't have a 4 Seasons or Mandarin Oriental in Stoke.

Nice pics though.

Red sent, purely out of jealousy...
