Enjoying The Shanghai Sights with Show Shanghai



A destination, as interesting as Beijing is the brilliant city of Shanghai. May Tours teamed up with Show Shanghai to check some of the interesting sights in town. Our first order of interest was getting our stomachs sorted! Luckily this is no problem in Shanghai, even for those with a thin wallet.

Our favorite dishes in Shanghai included dumplings, ribs, braised eggplants, grilled oysters and last but not least, stinky tofu! All which make a great snack, especially at night before or after partying. If you feel like experimenting, Mapo doufu will satisfy even the strictest chili buds.

We've seen a lot of these in Beijing before. But everything is served in "Shanghai style" which is more delicate and healthy taste. A dish we had never seen before, was the lion head meatballs. The meatballs were not made of lion and they were not as big as lion heads.. but they were dipped in delicious sauce and pleasure was pushed to the max.

There was a lot of roaming involved as well. After a good rest at the hotel, we headed out to the night with plenty of clubs to choose from. Girls here are hot but you need to watch out for them too.

Greetings from Shanghai!
