Hello Shanghai!

Just came back from a trip in Shanghai, China 
This is my first time to Shanghai and it really has impressed me a lot.  In the past, when people talked about Shanghai, my impression was: many Shanghaiese people liked to compete with us (in Hong Kong); they thought that they were developing fast, and could very soon replace Hong Kong.  Probably because of these negative feelings, I were not very eager to travel to Shanghai.

Well, but the fact is, I should not be so subjective , because this trip to Shanghai has totally changed my feeling for Shanghai!  Shanghai is really a beautiful and diversified big city. It has long history, traditional structures (like the ones in Yuyuan Garden, or otherwise called the Old Town), modern Pudong financial district (one of China's economic powerhouse), advanced infrastructure (the well-built subway system and high-speed/bullet trains); and the easily accessible, charming and tranquil canal towns near to Shanghai.  All these have made my trip to Shanghai such a rewarding travel experience!
