3. Later, we’ll venture through the narrow streets of old Shanghai, until reaching the City God’s Temple. The City God’s Temple is a folk temple neighboring Yuyuan Garden. It originated as the Jinshan God Temple, dedicated to the spirit of Jinshan, or "Gold Mountain," an island off the coast of Shanghai. Its popularity turns the surrounding area into a large pedestrian area that hosts an array of shops, restaurants, tea houses, as well as time-honored restaurants. Try typical Shanghainese dishes such as scallion oil noodles, steamed buns, parched chicken and soup dumplings with black vinegar. All tastings are included and add up to more than enough for a lunch.

About Shanghai

Shanghai, abbagliante metropoli finanziaria sul fiume Huangpu: lungofiume coloniale di fronte a uno skyline futuristico, vicoli con sale da tè.

Il Bund, una passeggiata lungofiume fiancheggiata da grandiose banche e hotel dell'inizio del Novecento, guarda oltre l'acqua le torri di Pudong, tra cui la Oriental Pearl Tower, la Jin Mao Tower e la Shanghai Tower dalla forma attorcigliata. La vista è più spettacolare dopo il tramonto, quando le due rive si illuminano e i battelli fluviali scivolano tra loro.
