Our walks in Shanghai

All travellers passing through Shanghai should not fail to marvel at the stunning view from the Bund, a long walk along the river where we see all the splendor of the financial city and its skyscrapers, a sight which must be seen both day as night.
From this we can go up across Nanjing Road, something like that would be something like Madrid’s Gran Via, a street full of life all the day, crowded of tourists and locals people, is the perfect place to enjoy a walk and know the rhythm of life in the city of Shanghai.

Going across the street it find the People Square, a big square which connecting the different parts of the city acting as central hub, contains a wealth of museums, theatres and buildings that give life and make it agreeable and dynamic.

A little to the south of these places we found a totally different area, the gardens of Yu-Yuan and the old city, a reflection of the Chinese tradition and its oldest buildings, an area that emanates tradition culture and spirituality.

In the other side of the river rises the financial area where paying a small fee, you can go up to the top of skyscrapers and enjoy with the views of Shanghai from the air.

But it was’nt all the trip, despite our tight schedule there was time to visit the Jade Buddha Temple, where there is a wonder Buda sculpture carved in Jade that inspires tranquility and peace; we also knew Hangzou area, a mountainous region filled of parks and gardens surrounding a large lake, West Lake, where they celebrate the party of the moon, there we take a boat ride and see the great Lingyin Temple where we were lucky to see a Buddhist rite celebrated by the monks of the temple, something not very common to see.

Besides the tourist visits I want to mention some of the company that we visits, we met Jiwu region, a city completely designed to serve as a logistics hub in the distribution of all kinds of commodities, a giant mall with six ships which had around 70,000 stores; or an industrial park created in just a few years where many Spanish companies were beginning to settle in, in this we were lucky to be able to talk with some of the Spanish who had brought up his business here; also met the Volkswagen factory and see their manufacturing process, and finally we have a visit to the steel industry where we could see how they manufacture their steel boards at temperatures over 1000 degrees .

A lot of experiences that have made this trip a incredible experience that maybe one day I can repeat.
