Day 10 Sunday May 5th

This morning we had the fabulous experience of riding at 431 km per hour on the magnetic high-speed train out to airport and back again. The round trip only took 15 minutes. We then went to the Shanghai Museum and visited the Chinese Jade, Porcelain and Bronze galleries.  Very impressive although the Chinese culture is the only culture featured in this museum. In the afternoon we visited some of the major shopping areas of Shanghai, including one that was like Times Square in New York. We also visited a wonderful “Bazar” in old town, Shanghai. A highlight of our stay in this huge city was an evening cruise along the river where we had a fabulous view of the stunning lights on the buildings. Some of the buildings and towers were so tall that they were surrounded by clouds.
