Arrived at Shanghai, China





Waiting for boarding at Inchen Airport, Korea.  
This flight soon will take me to Shanghai, China.





I arrived at Shanghai (上海 ) Hongqiao Airport at evening time and there was the long taxi queue.  I unexpectedly had to kill time for more than an hour standing on the line to get to the downtown, pew... -.-;; 






Darrin got in through the other international airport, Pudong to the downtown and instead of a taxi he took the magnetic levitation train(made in Germany) to get to the hotel Grand Hyatt.  It was a clever choice since taking a cab in Shanghai simply can be nightmare during the evening rush hour.






It only takes 8 mins to the downtown from the Pudong airport, and the train even can speed up to 430km per hour.. Wow!







The building on the right-hand side is Jinmao Tower and the one on the left is Shanghai World Financial Centre(SWFC).  The both are occasionally called by their nicknames; the fountain pen and the bottle opener respectively.   






This is one of my favorite places in Shanghai.
Almost everyday I walked this walking path to go shopping or take subway.
