EXHILARATING SHANGHAI
March, 2008
China was the third country I visited since I
started travelling in 2007. My travel buddies and I went to Shanghai in 2008 and
it is where we spent our vacation during the spring season. I must say that the
temperature was different from Baguio and Tagaytay. We spent 3
nights in Shanghai before heading back to Beijing via overnight train.
Shanghai,
Hu for short, is the largest city in China in terms
of population. Yangtze River divides the municipality into two parts. The Huangpu
district is considered to be the traditional side and the Pudong district is
dubbed as the modern or new side.

Getting Around:
If you have the “do-it-yourself” itinerary, which
we had, the best and the budget-friendly way to get around is via Metro. From
Pudong International airport, take the Maglev Train – the first high-speed
magnetic levitation line commercially operated in the world. This train is
connected to Shanghai Metro. We took the interchange at the Central Pudong Station for us to get to the city center.
Maglev Train Tickets cost 50RMB (approx US$8) for one
way and 80RMB for round trip
