Shanghai Day 3

Visited pet and flower markets and poster museum. Pet market sold crickets used for fighting. Some were match head size and some much larger. The locals study them before purchasing.
Then went down to markets at
580. Couple of beers at local restaurant and then out too dinner. Shanghai is an amazing city as much of it is only ten years old and very modern.
Last night in China and off to Hong Kong tomorrow. Dragon Air flight leaves at 1:00 pm and leaving hotel at 10:00.

Shanghai Day 2

Water Town
Jade Budha
Acrobats  ERA
Unbelievable and amazing acrobats. In one section a motorbike rides inside a sphere. This gradually increased to 8 bikes. This was one of the highlights of the trip. Park Hotel is fantastic and in an amazing location.

Shanghai Day 1

Took a walk to local market to purchase new watch fo Kathy who lost her watch at light show. Crossing the road is always a nightmare in China as drivers obey very few rules.  Had to cross ten lanes which can be tricky even with pedestrian lights as motor scooters will still come at you from all directions and cars turning left do not have to stop at crossings. The scooters even use the footpath in the middle of the city.
Finally got the watch Kathy wanted and returned to the hotel.

Yangshuo / Chongqing

Left Yangshuo and flew an hour  to Chongqing. City very crowded with population of 32000000. Boarded our boat the Victoria Grace for 3 day cruise down the Yangtze River. Cabin is compact but very comfortable with small balcony which is just big enough to sit on.

Yangshuo Day 2

Free Day because of rain causing our bike ride to be cancelled. Walked around shops then out to nearby suburb. Suburb was mainly 4 story housing appartmemts. In the markets we saw live ducks, fish, turtles and chickens. Also saw dogs hanging up ready for eating. Others saw live dogs and cats ready for slaughter.
