Wujiaochang

With the parks done for the day (most close at 5) we headed back to the hotel with the evening free to do as we wished.

This is our hotel. The Crowne Plaza in northern Shanghai

We chose to keep things simple and headed into the nearest downtown area (Shanghai is so vast it has several)

003

en route watch out for motorbike riders who prefer to travel on the pavement rather than the road


The centrepiece of the area is the Big Egg, an amazing light display over a pedestrian intersection.

A couple of movie posters at the local multiplex

013

Nice T-Shirt, just a shame they only came in Chinese sizes.

014

We were welcomed into the amusement arcade by Doraemon. I guess this is one Japanese import the don't mind having in China!

015

Some rather large prizes to be won in the games.

022

A rather run down looking Disney store in the main mall. Legitimate?

On the way back we saw the locals doing dancing lessons on the streets and kids taking part in a rollerblading class encouraged by their very proud parents.


Cue Mick Jagger & David Bowie

More matrix lighting!
