Last Stop in Shanghai

Following the Yu Garden we had a few hours remaining before being picked up for the airport. May Lene remembered an area she had visited before that she thought we might like to see. Now the problem was getting there. She knew it was not too far from our hotel but could not recall the name of the area. She finally showed some photos of it to our taxi driver and he took us to the right spot (but not without giving May Lene some friendly teasing).


The area is called Tian Zi Fong and if you didn't know it was there you would walk right by. Tian Zi Fong is hidden in the center of a block of businesses that front the road. There is a small entrance that looks at first like an alley. Inside is a warren of shops , bars and restaurants. 

Had we found it sooner we would have loved to spend more time there, especially at some of the beautiful cafes. As luck would have it, we were on a tight schedule and I was having some back problems so we had a taste and left with a reason to return.
