Travel Recap: Shanghai and Hangzhou
Ah, Shanghai and Hangzhou. The first of my many adventures during my year abroad in China (this was way back in August!). These adventures and mishaps provided a crash course into the Chinese culture and way of life. I visited these two cities with my best friend and together we saw a ton of stuff and had a fantastic time.
Highlights include:
- Going go the World Expo!
- Visiting famous sights in Shanghai like the Bund, the Pearl Tower, etc.
- Eating the best steamed dumplings of my life in the Yu Gardens (Shanghai).
- Hiking this rocky trail in Hangzhou that led to a beautiful view of West Lake and the city skyline.
- Visiting Zhujiajiao for an afternoon, a water village outside of Shanghai.
