Yu Yuan Gardens in Shanghai is my picture of the week. I visited Shanghai back in 2010 on a personal holiday for nine full days exploring this amazing metropolis.

Hostel Review - The Phoenix Hotel in Shanghai, China
Blog: Living the Dream: RTW - 23 April 2011
I've stayed in my fair share of hostels around the world with both good and bad experiences. For the most part my frustration with many can be written off due to other positive factors such as price, location, or the simple fact that I'm hardly ever in the facility to care.

Panda Bear at Shanghai Zoo Picture of the Week
Blog: Malaysia Asia - 7 March 2011
Panda Bear at Shanghai Zoo is my picture of the week. I visited Shanghai in 2010 but never got around to posting my many articles on this amazing city. One of my highlights of visiting Shanghai was the local zoo here. They had brought in 20 Panda Bears for the World Expo from Chengdu, and while awaiting the opening of the expo, the pandas were kept in the Shanghai zoo for viewing in a special

Huangshan: The Most Beautiful Mountain in China
Blog: Flying Coach - 23 January 2011
About five hours into our six hour bus ride from Shanghai to Huangshan, the bus driver pulled off into an area that was obviously not our final destination. He turned and announced something in the local dialect, so even Sara could not understand what he said. Whatever it was, though, it pissed off two-thirds of [...]

Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 29 December 2010
We had heard that the Chinese acrobats of Shanghai were some of the finest in the world and that their performance was not to be missed, but we didn't want to give up a night walking around this exciting Asian city. We wanted to explore the lights and walk along the shopping street free of traffic. Are we ever glad that we went. The Shanghai Acrobats was one of the greatest spectacles we have ever seen.

Shanghai Skyline at Night
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 12 December 2010
Shanghai has one of the most interesting skylines on the planet. Hong Kong may have more sky scrapers, but Shanghai certainly has more interesting buildings. I had to take this photo quickly as the lights are turned off at 10 pm sharp. Night time shots are some of my favourite photographs to take. The long exposures help to portray the sense of movement in the scene.

Shanghai at Night
Blog: Twenty-Something Travel - 21 October 2010
I’d like to say my first impression of China was a good one. I had imagined Shanghai as exciting, pretty and cosmopolitan. Just the name “Shanghai” speaks to me of old glamour, mystery and intrigue. Sadly, after an excruciatingly long 48-hour boat ride from Osaka, I was not so pleased to rest my eyes on [...]

In September, 2010, Shanghai, China is a city that attracts people.

Time to Tell the Truth – China was the Most Frustrating Travel Experience of My Life
Blog: Hole In The Donut - 25 September 2010
What gives value to travel is fear. It is the fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country, we are seized by a vague fear, and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits…This is why we should not say that we travel for [...]

Blog: Hole In The Donut - 22 September 2010
I ended up in China because of the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. My second cousin, Len, sent me a message on Facebook, asking if I’d be interested in going, and suggesting we gang up on his mom, my cousin Loretta, to convince her to join us. My original intention to attend the Expo quickly [...]
