| Breakfast at Home
|
|
| Watermelon, green onion bread, and two types of steamed buns (pork and
bok choy).
|
|
| Lunch at 1+1 Restaurant
|
|
|
| Fried rice with minced salted pork and vegetables. Good.
| Steamed chive dumplings. Also good, exactly what I wanted.

|
| French Concession
|
|
|
|
|
| In the French Concession, on the way from the South Huangpi Road metro
station to Xintiandi.
| Xintiandi has many fancy restaurants, most offering al fresco dining
(appropriate given the weather). Xintiandi's three square blocks look
like this, and the neighboring blocks also have nice shops.
| One of the narrow alleyways in Xintiandi.
| Looking over Taipingqiao Park (near Xintiandi) toward downtown.

| Fuxing Park
|
|

|
|
| From an overpass on the way to Fuxing Park.
| One of the shady tunnels of trees in Fuxing Park.
| A flower-ringed fountain, with a play area in the distance.
| Arches and greenery, and more people just hanging out.
|
|
|
|
| A movie (with sound) of social ballroom dancing in Fuxing Park. Gotta
love the guy with maracas.
|
I didn't photograph Fuxing Park's rose garden, rock garden, or pond.

|
| More French Concession
|
|
|
|
|
| My guidebook has occasionally sent me to find churches, which I usually
don't deem worthy of photographing. I took a picture of this one, the
former Russian Orthodox St. Nicholas Church, to prove that churches
exist.
| A look down Sinan Road, another arbitrary street in the French
Concession that I photographed simply to show the feel of the area.
| The former residence of Zhou Enlai, the first premier of China.
| S. Maoming Road, a typical retail street in this neighborhood. Two
blocks away is an ordinary shopping mall.
|
|
| On the Way Home
|
|
|
| A short video of Shanghai (well, North Shanghai) taken from the metro as
I headed home.
| Taken from near our local metro station, I think one of these high-rise
buildings is the one we stayed in, but I forget which one.
|
|
| Dinner at Home
|
|
|
At left, red beans and rice wrapped in lotus leaf (a type of zong zi).
At right, some kind of leafy green vegetable Di Yin and I hadn't
seen before stir-fried with tomato and bamboo shoots.
| Watermelon, and steamed bok choy tossed with fried button mushrooms and
a salted duck egg.
