Shanghai sightseeing tours

Shanghai is the largest city in the world.  it is immense.  Shanghai has over 4,000 skyscrapers over 20 stories high.  We saw that feng Shui was used and many circles and open air (even a building with a huge opening half way up.)  They have a building going up now that is the tallest in the world.   they are at 102 stories and have not divulged how many stories they are stopping at….. amazing.

We went to the Shanghai Museum:  This place rocks!  We could have spent days there.  But, because we were on a tour we had only 3 hours.. We got a bunch of wonderful pictures: Their porcelain display was so wonderful: some of the pieces were BC:  The bronze wing was also amazing.  I could not believe the ages of some of the pieces.

We went to the Oriental Pearl Tower and rode the incredibly fast elevator to the observation floor.  there is also a restaurant:  i would love to eat there on a later visit.   the view was wonderful but so was the  smog.   Shanghai had some wonderful sites. 

We  also went to a nice temple that had a large white jade Buddha.  It was in the style of India so it was a reclining Buddha. The yard of the Lamasery was so nicely landscaped and there were large brass pots … (not really the right word…. ) that had incense burning.   David started sneezing….  Inside had many golden Buddhas in different poses.  It was allowed to photograph them so we got several nice shots.

Many larger rooms with great statues.   It was so wonderful to see them.    We could not actually photograph the real jade Buddha but there was a nice replica that we took pictures of.    More informations of Jade Buddha Temple…
