China (10/10): Shanghai

Tags

And here we are finally at the last stage of my wonderful trip to China: Shanghai!

Cina (10/10): Shanghai

I say finally, not because I enjoyed or why China I did not like it but because after a month of traveling, with trips every two days and continuous trips, well then, we start to get a little 'Stanchini :-)

Anyway ... in the previous installments:
  1. Beijing
  2. Datong
  3. Pingyao
  4. Xian
  5. Chengdu
  6. Lijiang
  7. Shangri-la
  8. Kunming
  9. Yangshuo
A nice ride is not it?
Nice, but as I said before, tiring loooong, predominance; arrived at the last stage, Shanghai, we have taken the comfortable and we visited without doing somersaults as for other cities.

Shanghai, in my opinion, is the most Westernized city that I saw on this trip.
We started from the wild and chaotic Beijing, and then go further south and also find ourselves in the city where we were the only (or most) of the western area.
It was a bit 'strange be photographed as rare beasts, receiving smiles or suspicious looks older ... but once you are in Shanghai, everything changes!
Shanghai was a British colony, then know well Westerners and knows how to welcome them.
There is a completely different education in the city and, in my opinion, this fascinating place is the right stop before returning home, this is because it is able to re-accustom yourself gradually to the West plan.

In Shanghai I visited fun attractions and tourist areas, such as: east Nanjing road, the wonderful bund, the old city, the French Concession, the Bund sightseeing tunnel, and the impressive Shanghai pudong world financial center.

Of course in the beautiful Shanghai there are also green spaces, where people make sports and activities.

In one of these parks we have been ensnared by two girls who looked like only two people who wanted to have a chat in English, but that actually turned out to be two crafty!

Their intention was in fact to take us to a place where he was conducting a kind of ceremony of the course fee ... ;-)

And for movie lovers, here's a twenty Shanghai movies:

And with Shanghai officially ends my trip to China.
A very long and tiring but definitely rewarding.
I did not think there were so many beautiful places in China.
China is really very diverse as landscapes and attractions and even though we have spent a whole month, I had to skip quite a few attractions of note, so sooner or later I'd go back to correct ... with Hong Kong in fact I then remedied in 2014 .
Well, that's all, but before I leave the photos taken in Shanghai just want to say one last thing about the Chinese: must know how to understand and perhaps even they will amaze you.
Of course, at first, especially if you've been havens of discipline and order as Japan, you seem to be finished in some Dantesque, but over time you abbitua and maybe you learn even find a little 'd' order in all this chaos: p

Now space to photos ... nǐ hǎo China!
