7:45 departure in Suzhou.
We took a boat cruise along the longest canal in the world. Some sections date back to the 5th century BC and it is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
We saw old homes all along the river.
Then we travel to Shanghai-2 hour journey.
Shanghai is only 160 years old and is the city with the largest population, just a mere 25 million!
I found out that a skyscraper is built every 4 days in China! I definitely believe this from all the construction and buildings we have seen so far.
We went up a massive skyscraper for a view of the city called, Jinmoa tower.
88 floors and 340 meters tall.
There are sooo many skyscrapers as far as you can see! All are uniquely shaped.
After lunch we went on a Bullet train. It is the fastest train in the world, reaching 430kms/per hour!
We travelled 30kms in 7 minutes! It was an amazing experience.
We visited the old China town to get some delicious soup crap dumplings. Then we had 1 hour to look around the touristy shops.
The buildings looked amazing at night time.
From here we went on a boat cruise on the Huangpu River to view the Shanghai skyline. The lights were so beautiful and colorful at night.
The Oriental Pearl TV tower has to be my favorite building in Shanghai.
It was such a long and busy day but amazing!
