Shanghai

It has definitely been awhile since I last updated my blog and this was partly due to my busy schedule and various events that took place in my life! However, I'm glad to say that I'll definitely be blogging on a more frequent basis to keep everyone updated with the photos I have taken.

I'm a true blue travel junkie and I feel that there are still so many places I have yet to explore! As such, I'm glad to say that I recently had the opportunity to visit China for the first time via my visit to Shanghai as my husband Siew Mun, was there for work. Being one of the most modern cities in China, I was impressed by Shanghai and the stunning array of sky-scraper buildings that filled every street.

However, it has successfully retained its old-world charm and despite the rapid pace of modernisation, I was still able to soak in its historical and cultural heritage by visiting its landmark attractions such as the Yu Yuan Garden, Shanghai Old Street, Jade Buddha Temple, Antique Street Market and many others. I even had time to watch the famed acrobatic act in the Shanghai Circus which has received positive reviews from local and international fans.

Naturally as a foodie, I checked out the local delicacies too and I was satisfied with the xiao loong baos that I tasted! I also have to thank my friends Huey Farng and E-Kiang who are Malaysians staying in Shanghai as they proved to be the perfect hosts and helped ensured we had a good stay in their adopted home!

Below are the pictures and hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did when I took them :)
