This travel photo of Nanjing Bridge was taken on my travel to Nanjing. You can read the story behind by following this link to Nanjing tour. It was in the evening just before sunset. The sun set at around 4:30pm during late Autumn in Nanjing. With the help of mist, there is some kind of differential focus effect shown in the photo.

It’s time now to conclude the whole stories of my packaged travel to Shanghai and other 4 cities in South Yangtze region of China. We spent 8 days in the tour to cover many tourist attractions in Shanghai, Hangzhou, SuZhou, Nanjing, Wuxi and also the water village, Wuzhen. For the first 4 days, we explored the financial capital of China, Shanghai, and also the 2 cities of heaven on the earth which were Hangzhou and Suzhou. I’ve posted a half way summary for these first 4 days of tour earlier. Click this link below if you haven’t got a clue where we are coming from:

South Yangtze China Packaged Travel Halfway Update – Where Have I Been On The First 4 Days?

On the fifth day, we traveled to another significant city in South Yangtze region of China, Nanjing and followed by Wuxi, before traveling back to Shanghai. Here are the stories for the final 4 days of travel in China:

  1. In Nanjing, we visited the SongMeiLing villa;
  2. Later in the evening, we came to Nanjing Bridge and visited the crystal inner art gallery;
  3. At night, we went shopping at the largest pedestrian precinct in Nanjing, the FuZhiMiao;
  4. On the next morning, we explored the Nanjing Wall at QinHuai Scenic Area;
  5. Being the biggest hoax of our tour, we bought a jade pendent from a jade factory;
  6. After having lunch in Nanjing, we progressed to another scenic city of Wuxi;
  7. On our way there, I realised we would not have such fun if we didn’t pack these 5 items into our luggage before traveling to China;
  8. In Wuxi, the first attraction to visit would definitely the Lingshan giant buddha;
  9. I recorded a video also on the scene of “Buddha being bathed by nine dragons”;
  10. That’s nothing much on Wuxi nightlife where we only went to a shopping mall;
  11. Early in the next morning, we took a fresh air at Lihu Lake scenic area;
  12. What else could we do in Wuxi? Check out the film shooting base of “Three Kingdom City”;
  13. What could we drink in Wuxi? I had a Taihu Lake Water beer!
  14. Taihu Lake is also famous for its freshwater cultured pearls;
  15. Enough looking at pearls ladies? Let’s move to go back to Shanghai!
  16. We were close. We shopped and drank for the last evening at Nanjing Street, the biggest shopping street in China!
  17. Still exploring Shanghai on the final day? Yes. We dropped by the TongRenTang chinese pharmaceutical centre before taking the Shanghai Meglev Train to the airport.

Long stories isn’t it? Sorry if it took you so long to follow me on my travel experience in China last last Autumn. However, you may find it interesting and informative to guide you through the packaged tour or at least you would have a preliminary idea on what you should expect from this type of all-inclusive packaged tour to South Yangtze China.

Good news for me! I’ve finally concluded my weblog on China tour, for this round. Next. So I could concentrate my next travel stories on Phuket… :)

Nanjing Road was our last tourist spot in Shanghai also the last evening of our 8-days packaged travel to South Yangtze China. To refresh your memory (I know I have dragged the stories of the tour a bit too long… :( ), this was part of the night excursion add-on package we paid 200 bucks extra to the original which did not cover any activities after dinner, such as the night cruise of HuangPu River, The night of Xihu show, GuanQian shopping pedestrian of Suzhou and also the FuZiMiao pedestrian precinct in Nanjing.

Nanjing Street2

Nanjing Road(南京路) is the busiest, biggest and also the longest shopping street in the world. Measuring around 6KM long, Nanjing Road is currently covering 2 sections of the road, namely Nanjing Road East and Nanjing Road West. Originally it was only the east pedestrian precinct section in The Bund but now it stretches out to the west to People Square (人民广场).

Nanjing Street1

Since it was our last night in China, we did serious shopping at the shopping street. Visitors from all over the world as well as the locals come here to do their shopping and people watching. International restaurant chains and local eateries could also be found along the street. Here are some of the photos I took with my Panasonic Lumix FZ28.

We had a great time there. Though exhausted after 7 days of rushing tour around the South Yangtze China, we were still able to shop for almost one and a half hour there and bought some souvenirs and gifts (extra over what we had bought in GuanQian Street).

Snacks From China

Did we go back to our hotel after that? Not really! While we still had some energy, we requested our tour leader, Ah Mei to bring us to the ‘night spot’ of Shanghai, The XinTianDi (新天地). XinTianDi is Shanghai famous upmarket entertainment hub with exclusive dining and shopping outlets. It is situated at the alley in between ancient buildings of the city similar to what we have here in Bintang Walk of Kuala Lumpur. – Travel Feeder.

Don’t be misled by its name, Nanjing Street is a pedestrian walking street in Shanghai. It’s the most famous and biggest shopping street in Shanghai.

This is a snapshot on the street taken with my Lumix FZ28. With the advantage of its smaller image sensor and its superb image stabiliser, very slow shutter speed of only 1/25 [...]

Along the way to Patong Beach, there were many architecture background worth shooting [...]

Wow! Sound serious right? Was it that bad? I’m sorry but to say “Yes!”, in terms of the way they list their price, and the final deal you will get. It could be as much as 80% discount!! (Could be more. This is only figure that we managed to get…) Is it considered serious? Can I [...]

On the 6th day of our packaged travel to South Yangtze China, we were still in Nanjing, the 4th city we travelled after Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou. We had a bad sleep last night in this hotel in Nanjing (never bother to remember the name also! ). Frankly speaking, besides of this Nanjing’s [...]

Still remember the quiz that I’ve asked recently on the above travel photo with some chinese words on the arch? Well, nobody has guessed it right. In fact it is written with ancient Chinese calligraphy which is so uncommon to our current generations that few could understand what it is. That was also why our local [...]

We ended our journey to Suzhou by having our last lunch at the silk factory. On the 5th day of our China tour, we said goodbye to the heaven on earth and moved on to Nanjing. After leaving our 1st stop to the Villa of 1st lady of Chinese president, we could see Nanjing Bridge was [...]

Congratulation, and celebration…. First started to blog for travel on 17th June 2008, I’m glad, though not excellent, that Travel Feeder could reeach its 100th post benchmark in 10 months or slightly less than a year! Hurray!
I love travel, especially vacation travel. I will travel whenever time and money allow me to do so. However, [...]
