YU GARDEN, THE BUND, RIVER CRUISE IN SHANGHAI







Hannah and Madeline at Yu Garden in ShangHai.





This is where we stood on the bridge overlooking the HuangPu River. From this site you can see the area known as the Bund (a German word for marketplace) with the imposing Russian Embassy in the background. Normally we would have walked along the river in the Bund District, but it is all torn up due to the construction of an underground road that will ultimately free up the area for pedestrians.

Hannah sipped a Sprite as she watched the night lights from air-conditioned comfort inside the cabin during our river cruise.

This is one of the advertising barges that cruised up and down the river...they were amazing, with Jumbo-Tron type screens that seemed to plug everything from Budweiser beer to baby food.
