Recently, the college reunion, meet in Shanghai. One is the old classmates to catch up, the second is the classmates are the first time to come to Shanghai, by the way to visit the magic city. It's a two-for-one deal, and it's an instant hit.
In fact, when I heard about the gathering in Shanghai, my first reaction was to be happy, and then I felt Alexandria. Although I've been in Shanghai for almost a year, I rarely go out except for my company and the place where I live, probably because of the saying that I don't shop there and feel that I have all the time in the world. The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it. The hotel, the food, the scenery, the transportation, these aspects should be checked in advance, and the daily time should be arranged reasonably, just for the old students do not vain this trip.
About the hotel, speed 8, such as home, Hanting, Motel these economic hotels is the first choice. Location, of course, is convenient to go to the attractions of the place, like Lujiazui, Xujiahui these popular places, the location is quite good, but the hotel price is expensive. As a working class, everything to affordable-oriented, the location is set in Taipuqiao, because the price is moderate, the subway is convenient, unfortunately, catch the days of the exhibition, the room rate rose. Had to settle for the second best, selected in a slightly more remote Sanlin, the good thing is that it is very close to Disney, the Shanghai Metro is also quite convenient, it is booked in advance. Selection of hotels, I was half a month in advance to start looking at the first in the group-buying network to browse, the neighborhood on the site visit, and ultimately two days in advance to determine down on the Internet, booked also can be canceled free of charge of the hotel, in case of change.

The first day, Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street - People's Square - The Bund - Old City God Temple - Yuyuan Garden. Don't miss the night view of the Bund at night!
Before leaving, go to the subway station to buy a 50 yuan metro card, deposit 20, refundable. Shanghai metro is very convenient, have a metro card to save the trouble of buying tickets every time.
The Bund is a scenic spot in Shanghai and a must-see for tourists visiting the city. The first time you come to Shanghai, you must look forward to the elegance of my magic city. The first day to walk these routes, but also hope that friends have a buffer, the night to come by plane, and then get up too early in the morning, the overall state will not be good. The first day leisurely, shopping and eating, first of all, Shanghai has a preliminary impression.
Morning 8:00 am to get up, leisurely eat a breakfast, 9:00 am to take the subway line 2 to Nanjing East Road, out of the station to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. Nanjing Road has always been called "China's first commercial street", along the road there are a variety of old, new brands, everywhere shows the new era, the atmosphere of foreign things. A lot of friends may feel that the Nanjing Road specialties are specialized in the pit of the tourists, but it is not the case, the specialties are expensive, but a lot of old things, the quality of the absolute can be trusted.
Walking along the Nanjing Road to eat, shopping almost, there is a Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street monument, a lot of tourists lined up to take pictures, the first time I came to the course of a beautiful Pose, to commemorate it.
From the Walking Street out, we went straight to the Bund, the first to enjoy the daytime Bund, which is the symbol of Shanghai, of course, we will not miss this good time to take pictures. After taking pictures, you can go to the nearby People's Square to stroll around, the song "I ate fried chicken in the People's Square" song makes the People's Square and fried chicken together again a fire. If you are hungry, buy a fried chicken, hum the song, and send a friend circle, is not it full of compulsion? If you're in time for Saturday, stroll through People's Park and you'll see the legendary Matchmaking Corner!
At this point it is almost noon, is not hungry, then ride a Mobay or a small yellow bike to the South Yunnan Road food street, do not know the road can be navigated or ask the enthusiastic Shanghai aunts and uncles, they will be very enthusiastic.
Yunnan Road food street in Shanghai enjoys a good reputation, in this street can find a lot of old Shanghai, small Shaoxing white chicken, small Jinling salt water duck, fresh to come to the ribs of the rice cake as the representative of the 30 Chinese snacks store are full of people, in the big pot of spring in front of the door there is also a long queue.
We ate the net red store bullfrog noodles, a small store, not very easy to find, but there are a lot of people, most of them come to the name, a hard to find, we also stood and waited for a long time, in order to food is also enough to fight.
After eating and drinking, we all rode happily straight to Yuyuan Garden and City God Temple.
"If you don't go to the City God Temple in Shanghai, it's the same as you haven't been to Shanghai." It can be seen that the old City God Temple in Shanghai's status influence. Chenghuangmiao snacks are also known throughout the country with the popularity of Chenghuangmiao. Tickets are 10 yuan, and three incense sticks will be given at the entrance. Here, hold a burn incense, make a wish, suddenly his hometown into his hometown, I wish long drunkenness never wake up again.

Nowadays, the Yuyuan Garden usually includes several lively streets as well as the symbols of the Yuyuan Garden, such as the Jiuqu Bridge and the Huxin Pavilion. There is also Shanghai's famous Commodity Market, where you can pick up some gifts for your friends. Remember: shop around before you buy! Tickets, 40 yuan in high season, 30 yuan in low season.
Unconsciously it will be dark, if you are not very tired, you can see the night view of the Bund at night, and sit down on the ferry. Since we were going to Disney the next day, we put the ferry on the third night, which was less rushed and more relaxing.

Seven Treasure Old Street-Xujiahui Catholic Church-Xujiahui Bookstore-Xujiahui Park
The saying goes, "Ten years in Shanghai, look at Lujiazui; a hundred years in Shanghai, look at the Bund; a thousand years in Shanghai, look at the Seven Treasures. In the old street of Qibao, there are the Cricket House and the Old Trades, which reflect the ethnic flavor of Shanghai in the past, the Qibao Theater, which exhibits the local opera, and the Micro-carving House and the Shuhan House, which reflect the Chinese folk art and the Haikai culture. Coming here will definitely let you experience a different Shanghai ethnic flavor.

Pine cake, begonia cake can not eat to take home.
The stomach is full, the afternoon Xujiahui Catholic Church, Xujiahui Book Depository, Xujiahui Park to walk up, by the way, digestive digestion.

Every morning there are multiple Masses, and on Sundays and important festivals, parishioners gather together in a grand ceremony. In good weather, you will see many couples taking wedding photos here.
The Xujiahui Book Depository is the earliest surviving modern library in Shanghai, and epitomizes my past of Western learning in the East and Eastern learning in the West. If you are tired of the big city of all sorts of colors, have long forgotten what the library looks like, why don't you slow down and come here to feel its hundred years of loneliness and the vicissitudes of the wind and rain.

So far, the four-day tour of Shanghai has come to an end, slowly walking back, just want to slow down a little time, there are too many left and reluctant to give up. The memories of Shanghai can only be left in the memory and photos, the plane flies back and forth, the crowd comes and goes, no matter how beautiful the process, how reluctant to give up the ending, we will finally say goodbye
