Shanghai part 3

Before continuing with the story, here is the lovely view outside my hotel room.



Anyway, I met H.L. outside my hotel and we went to Yuyuan Garden. It was hidden inside a very touristy place with plenty of overpriced souvenirs. When we got there H.L. warned me, "Watch your wallet". This became a commonly used phrase whenever we went to the subway, bus stop, or large crowed. Pickpocketing is big business.

Here are some photos of the area around Yuyuan Garden.



















Tomorrow I'll post pictures from inside the garden, The Bund photos part 1, and perhaps the Shanghai Museum pictures.
