Shanghai, China - 11th October 2009
By: BlackCat
Hello,
today was a long and very nice day. We went out really early in the morning and decided to go to a temple. First we went to Yu Garden where you can see a lot nice small shops before you come to the temple (which entrance price is way too high, so we didn't went in).
But I have a lot photos for you of the area around the temple itself:
A lion is watching the temple
A turtle dragon !
Can you see? in the background there is one of the skyskrapers...it is so unreal to be in such an old place and see all the skyskrapers around you!
That is the oldest tea house in Shanghai. It looks really nice, or?
Do you know why this bridge is not straight? The Chinese believe that bad ghosts can't walk around corners, so they try to make it as difficult for them as possible.
When we were ready at Yu Garden we went around for shopping a bit. BlackCat bought so much stuff and I was just watching her. She didn't made photos inside the shops, as she wanted to look herself.
But then we went to Jing'an temple. There the entrance price was really cheap, so we went inside the temple area.
In the middle the little tower is a place where you throw money at. You try to hit one of the windows in the tower. If you hit it, the money will fall down in the middle again and you will have luck. If you don't hit it (like BlackCat did xD) it does mean you just don't have more luck then now. On the right side of it, you can see a place where the Chinese people put incense sticks to pray to their god that everything will be alright and that the death people feel well. It is like the candle in a German church, I guess (not sure).
There you can see where the money gets out when you throw it at the tower !
Making a break !
That is inside the temple.
Look at the decoration of the doors...wonderful, or?
The temple with a skyscraper behind it !
BlackCats brother likes us !
In the evening (it was just 7p.m. when we made this pic) we went to the river and made some photos of the skyline ! This is my pic with the skyline =)! Nice, or?
What a long day again. Tomorrow we will fly to Beijing for 4 days. We are not sure if we have internet there. But we will update as soon as possible.

Shanghai, China - 23rd October 2009

Today is our last day in Shanghai. Tomorrow we will finally fly back to Germany.
So today BlackCat went into a park with us. It was not a long walk, as she has a cold, but it was nice.
Parks are normal in China. The chinese People use it for relax, play, sleep and such stuff. Really funny thing.
