Old Town of Shanghai



We have been to Old Town of Shanghai and Yuyuan Garden, both of which are located close to each other. We wanted to go again. It was crowded back then, but it was nothing compared to this time. Just look at how mad the place was..... It was packed. It was so hard to walk and I figured, Yuyuan Garden would be just as packed or even more packed than the area surrounding it.



It was always nice to check out the small shops and kiosks there, they have some nice colorful stuffs that we do not need but they do make good photographs.



There are shops that sell tons of goodies, all the labels seemed to be in Chinese. I was afraid to try. God knows what's inside and I was not too adventurous!



The lanes were full of people as well, of course. We recognized some familiar names like Haagen Dazs, Starbucks and Dairy Queen. There were some places to eat too. It would be too stressful for me to eat over there. We stopped by an interesting store that sell all sort of notebooks and were warned of pickpockets.





We took more pictures around the pond. By then, it was time to leave. It's a quarter to 12, we were there for merely an hour. Again, it was too crowded to enjoy.
