Day 1

Arrived at PVG around 5.45am.

Took the fastest Maglev train (40rmb) to Longyang and transfer subway to City.

It can go up to 430km/h, most of the time is around 300odd km/h.

Weflow hostel 

(109rmb pn), located near Xichang north MRT, about 10mins walk to hostel.

Outside hostel has a bus stop 5mins away, took about 15mins to Shanghai train station during off peak hours. Not a very convenient location, nothing much nearby, not many eateries, the bus to train station took me 50mins during 8.30am and I missed the train!

The room is clean and good. But bathroom and toilet in China still need to improve more.

Bus stop outside the hostel

Bus 115 (2rmb) to Shanghai train station

The guo tie (7rmb) nearby hostel.

Went to the trains station to pick up my ticket first to avoid queue next day.

For foreigners, we cannot pick up at auto machine. Need to bring passport to verify.

From train station, I took bus 929 to Nanjing East.

So cool! Their adidas store 

This is very good deal!
This will probably cost at least $50sgd per pax in SG.

Total bill 49rmb, I cannot finished hahaa.

So super worth it!

After lunch, I slowly walked towards the Bund.

The famous Peace Hotel (和平饭店).

The weather is bad, visibility is quite low.

From Bund, I walked about 25mins to Yu Garden (豫园)

The famous Mantou restaurant inside Yu Garden

Cheng Huang Temple (10rmb)

Had one of these Cong you ping (6rmb), very crispy, unlike those we had in Taiwan.
