Re: Shanghai and Beijing

We spent 3 days in Shanghai 上海. This is a big, bright and fast city. Not as tidy as Suzhou. Skyscrapers soar and lit up by night. We went to an evening cruise on the river 黄浦江 and lots of walking in this business city. We tried their extremely busy metro track (train). The shopping malls are huge. Traffic is very busy (both cars and people traffic)

We are going to spend 5 days (10th to 14th) here in Beijing. Capital is clean and orderly. Sites to visit are: the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven 天坛, the Great Wall, Summer Palace 頤和国, the Olympic Centre (Bird's Nest and Water Cube etc.)
