Fozzie has been to China a couple of times. So far mostly to the capital Beijing, which is said to be a little more boring than its exciting and shiny big sister Shanghai. Yes, the number of historic buildings may be smaller and the Great Wall is far away. But even without these two attractions, Shanghai still has a lot to offer. It ranks among the worlds largest cities, but is more than just a modern collection of futuristic architecture. Foodies will never get hungry here and enjoy the Shanghai cuisine. And don’t forget the views from The Bund. Fozzie can’t get enough of that. Nĭ hăo, China. Hello Shànghǎi. Fozzie in Shanghai.

The red phoenix flew me to Shanghai. With all the luxury I deserve.

If you want to see the crowds, The Bund is where you have to be at night.

This is Huangpu River. From here it is just a short boat ride to the open sea.

Can you believe this? The Longhua pagoda is over 1000 years old.

-
I am trying hard, but I cannot see where the city ends.
-
-
Wow, this Maglev train can go up to 430 km/h. That’s fast.
-
-
Big city lights, I never get tired of watching them shine brightly. Especially when they reflect in the water.
-
-
The best way to avoid the crowds is to visit Yu garden in the evening. Plus you get some nice colours.

-
Did you know? The Chinese lucky cat isn’t Chinese. It’s Japanese. And it is not waving. It’s beckoning.

-
Historic Shanghai behind me, modern Shanghai on the other side of the river.

-
Skyscapers everywhere. One is the even the second-tallest building in the world.

Do I need to mention where I am? Well, I am not so sure. But just in case:Fozzie in Shanghai.
