这是我们在江南游，唯一的一张合照。还要是可怜到用上海东方明珠塔天花板上的镜子拍下来的。
当初台北九人行，我们都不觉得特别压力。反之这次江南六人行，我和姐姐的同感就是，还好把弟弟这位壮丁一起带来，要不然我们两个真的会压力死！要不火车站太挤，要不上不到地铁，要不差点赶不及搭高铁，要不⋯⋯真的是一罗罗的问题。有了恩，为我们两个减轻不少压力。
带老人家在中国自助旅行，真的不是玩玩的！
我们三人成功完成任务！真觉得自己很不简单！=)

上海东方明珠塔
我和姐从来都不是各个城市的塔的拥护者。去过好多个城市，甚至是自己的国家的首都，都没上过双峰塔和吉隆坡塔。
不过，带着父母旅行，难免要当个普通游客，上一上东方明珠塔，像是消耗一个下午的好去处。我们这就去了。
还是第一次从高空望黄浦江，如果天气晴朗一点就好。
从东方明珠塔的350米太空舱看黄浦江
黄浦江，还有密密麻麻的建筑物
这个方向是陆家嘴
恩说，这个建筑物是为了预防恐怖袭击而设计的
有没有昏眩的感觉？这是从259米的悬空走廊拍摄的。说实在的，我是畏高症一群，这一程还是硬着头皮的。
我们是元旦去了明珠塔，奉劝各位以后别在这种假期旺季到上海。人山人海，水泄不通，对我们来说，都有重新的定义。我们买的是三个太空舱的门票，可是后来，队伍实在是太长了，再加上我们都又饿又累，最底层的也就算了。
我相信，晚上的明珠塔的夜景，会更美丽。

What a Typical Tourist Does in Shanghai
Ok, let me list what a typical tourist will do in Shanghai.
1. 城隍庙
Entrance fee RMB10. It's just a small temple, visitors go in to really pray, unlike me, I was just there to look around.
Advice: Don't do it unless you really want to pray!
This guy traveled alone and so he's doing the typical "shiok sendiri" thingy. He was taking a picture of the jostick he just put on.
2. 南京路步行街
Every China city has a 步行街 and I always like it. If you really like shopping, it's really a nice place.
Advice: Go.
3. 南翔馒头店
As I've mentioned earlier, this is no doubt very cheap. 20 Xiao Long Bao only costs you RMB20, but it doesn't worth any of my life time queue-ing for it.
Advice: If you don't have enough time touring Shanghai, skip this. If you really want to have it once in your life time, go there before 9am, before the crowd starts everyday.
4. 上海滩 The Bund
This is one of the most enjoyable tourist attractions in Shanghai. Do try to make some time to visit this place at different time of the day, it gives you different perspective of Shanghai in the morning and night. Due to energy saving concern, the lights were off at 11pm (winter). Please try to be there early.
Advice: MUST go! What else is more important than The Bund in Shanghai?
5. 豫园
Entrace fee: RMB30
Waste of my time! It was a private garden of someone whom I have no idea who. The private garden wasn't magnificent at all. RMB30 felt like robbery to me!
Advice: DON'T GO! I didn't even take any pictures inside this private garden, yes, that's how bad the place was. Just spend your time in 豫园商城 is good enough, you can do souvenir shopping in there.
6. Others
Other popular places in Shanghai which almost all the tourists will go are: 人民广场、新天地、徐家汇、正大广场（陆家嘴）. These places are for shopping. I didn't take any photos of these places.
Advice: Nothing to advice. You could try 人民公园 near 人民广场, not a big park, but much better than 豫园.
Well, I guess that will sum up what I think it's typical.

高速动车组
在上海宁波短短的6天，动车组是我的好朋友。我乘的亚航，是飞往杭州的。而我的计划却是在上海会佳慧，所以，从杭州的萧山机场，我得搭机场大巴到杭州城站（人民币20元），乘坐动车到上海。我很幸运的买到了高速动车，既是直达，不停途中的任何一个城市。杭州到上海虹桥站，169km，才花了45分钟，而且，价格便宜，才人民币82元。
（另一个选择，就是乘搭亚航提供的大巴。大巴在飞机抵达的一个小时后开车，车票多少钱我不太清楚，不过肯定比动车慢了很多，因为杭州到上海大概要三个小时）
这就是我人生第一次搭高速动车的车票，丢了。
到达上海虹桥站。
上海虹桥站，是我到过的中国火车站，最干净的一个。火车站不只干净，而且很大，有点象机场。
动车组，在我这趟旅行里，节省了我不少时间。再加上，中国的火车一直很准时，乘搭火车，怎么样都比搭大巴安心很多。
有机会，在中国尝尝搭动车吧！

Shanghai · Starbucks
You can't imagine, I've had 6 days of Starbucks during my entire Shanghai & Ningbo trip.
It was freezing cold on certain days, I just need something to warm my frozen hands. During the last two days in Ningbo, I just need some black coffee to stop my diarrhea, and have some breaks to catch up with my travel diary. And I finished writing them in Starbucks!
Catching up with my travel diary in Starbucks in Ningbo, 天一广场
We decided to have a western breakfast on Christmas day in Shanghai, 豫园
We had a lot so that we can both get the Christmas souvenir.
I didn't get the chance...
And this is the Christmas souvenir.
Most of the days, we had more than one cup of coffee each day. I have to say, Shanghai coffee is one of the best coffee I tasted in China cities that I've visited. Ying & I made a statement that among the China cities that we've visited together, Guilin has the better coffee. But I have to change this to Shanghai now.
Most of the cafes in Shanghai (Other than Starbucks) brew illy coffee, and they are "kao" enough for our taste. And of course, they're not very cheap.
This, made my trip the most "un-China" trip I've ever had in China.

南翔馒头店……失望
南翔馒头店，卖着上海最有名的小笼包。每本上海旅游指南，都必定介绍。南翔馒头店，位于豫园商城里。而我们住的青年旅舍，离豫园不是太远。早上睡醒，走路到豫园南翔馒头店，才早上八点多钟。门口冷冷清清，我还以为我走错了。
两个女生出游，最不方便的地方，就是点菜不能点太多。可是，在南翔馒头店变成了好处。我们两人叫了一笼，一笼小笼包20个，价格很划算，才人民币20元。（看，我们点完菜，才8.53am）
上菜咯！
吃第一口，我问佳慧，为什么那么出名？这么出名的小笼包，我以为应该“皮薄馅靓”，没有！说真的，台北鼎泰丰的小笼包，肯定比这个好吃。
从九曲桥望向南翔小笼包，你看，门口已经在拍长龙了。如果，你真的觉得那么有名，非去不可，我劝你不要超过早上九点半。要不然，大老远来拍长龙，小笼包又不好吃，很气人的哦！

我从南翔馒头店出来的时候，我问佳慧“要不要告诉他们不值得排队哩？”
我们两个是在对南翔小笼包失望到透顶，走出来，看见对面的星巴克，二话不说，进去了。
为什么那么出名哩？真的是接受唔到咯……
