Tian Zi Fang, Shanghai, China


Tianzifang is a small area well known for many arts and craft shops, coffee shops, pubs, souvenirs shops & hence attracts many visitors. Quite surprising this area with many narrow lanes and alleys is situated in the midst of a quiet residential area.
One can visit this place to experience the unique atmosphere of Chinese shopping experience and enjoy the stroll in this busy place.

Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai, China


The Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai is situated in the Pudong area on the bank of Huangpo river. From the outside, one would get a thought that this would be a ordinary tower having an observatory deck at the top. But don't be mistaken, along with that it includes other attractions like the Museum holding historical importance details of the Shanghai city, rotating restaurant for a lovely romantic dinner, play area for kids with many gaming activities & many others.
One good part of the observatory deck at the top was the glass flooring section. Yes, once would actually feel the height standing up there on the glass floor.
And you know what, this is actually still servicing many TV & radio channels ;-)

Again, if one is in Shanghai, don't miss this attraction. Worth every penny of the entry fee :)

The Bund, Shanghai, China

Recently I got a this great opportunity to visit the beautiful city, Shanghai. It's a wonderful city with many tourist attractions.
The Bund is one of the best places one can visit in Shanghai. It's a waterfront on the bank of river Huangpo on the western side. We can see many buildings on this stretch of a mile with great historical & architectural importance. The best part I liked was the waterfront. No doubt, it's crowded over the weekends, but it's a nice place to have a nice walk with cool breeze & glittering buildings on either side of the river. The Bund faces the Pudong area which is the other side of the river having the yet another tourist attraction, Oriental Pearl Tower.
This reminded me of the Lakeshore drive of Chicago actually. If one is in Shanghai, then I recommend to have this place at the top of the list to visit.
