Sightseeing in Shanghai

By Marianne Medenilla

We started our activity-packed day with a visit to the Urban Planning Museum where we got a birds eye view of Shanghai and learn about Shanghai’s development.

Afterwards, we headed to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower! With a height of 468 meters, this building is one of the tallest in the world! It’s even taller than the Eiffel Tower – which is only 324 meters tall.

This is the view from one of the highest floors in the building! It was absolutely breathtaking.

After a hearty lunch, we embarked on the Pujiang Cruise that offered a panoramic view of Shanghai.

In the cruise, we were entertained my magicians who performed tricks that kept us on our toes.

The final stop of our super eventful day was the Chenghuang Temple – a well-known Taoist temple that attracts many with its rich history and shopping corners.

We also got to try the HUGE Xiao Long Baos. Filled with crab and soup, this dumpling was a treat from start to finish.
