Shanghai: Gorgeous City

I know, I know it's been awhile, but here I am ready to talk about my latest travel in Shanghai!

Shanghai is such a wonderful city, the skycrapers are just fabulous! I love the mix of modern and 19th century architecture. Walking along the streets of Shanghai is fascinating, I got to see different details like flower vendors, cherry vendors and then on the other side I see the gorgeous Louis Vuitton store at Plaza 66 or the Gucci store in Golden Eagle Mall. In my opinion the city is so diverse, you get to see the old and historical on the other side and the new and modern on the other.

I walked around Shanghai until 11pm and I felt safe! Walking along Nanjing road was wonderful because there were different vendors of scarves (40yuan) and iPhone cases (at 10yuan!) and other stuff including books and journals!

Shanghai August weather is pretty hot. We thought though there was a storm coming but fortunately a sudden change of direction. But of course in preparation, I got a black raincoat from Uniqlo just in case it rained.

I think Shanghai is a privileged market, in terms of fashion. The big brands present (Gucci, LV, Prada, Balenciaga etc) have items available there which I haven't seen in Hongkong, Singapore or Philippines.

Personally, I still choose Hongkong as my shopping mecca, as it is less expensive than Shanghai. But I highly recommend Shanghai to be visited as there are a lot of sights to discover and relish!
