3.2.16

It was a rainy day when we were in Shanghai but that doesn't stopped us from walking and strolling around the popular places, guided by our tour guide. Luckily this was the 'warmest' day in our trip as the temperature was around 10 celsius, compared to those 3-8 celsius earlier in other places, LOL Thus, though it rained, we felt warm under our winter jackets and hoods down. We mainly walked at some old streets till we reached the ChengHun Miao or 'City God Temple'.

Walking down memory lane....

It was drizzling then ... 

More 'old town' and colonial types of buildings here
After a short walk down memory lane, we reached the popular Chenghun Miao. Well, there was a temple here but some of the premises has been converted to shopping malls or shops. Anyway, we didn't visit the temple but mainly strolled and shopped around, as well as have our lunch here. Though it was raining, the places was really crowded on a Sunday afternoon.


At the ChengHun Miao, love the ancient architecture designs there! 

Wet, wet, wet with the drizzling which seems on and off., but I was mesmerised with the architecture designs here.

Folks taking pixs and shopping under the rain. Check out the row of kiosks in the background selling all sorts of crafts.


At another section of the square

I can't stop taking pics around while following wifey and kids to shop. We mainly bought tidbits which were locally produced there.

What a beautiful intrinsic Chinese architecture designs

I wonder if the upper level housed some of the temple..

Folks enjoying the drizzle and cool weather it seems.
We had our lunch at a nearby large food-court over there. There were lots of food on displayed and you just take what you like, and bring to the counter for payments.


The spacious food-court at ChengHun Miao

Some 'big' Xiao long pau which needed a straw to suck out the soup

err... I called this 'satay'. Also got some fried vermicelli and rice for the kids

Of course, when you are in Shanghai, this dish cannot be missed!

Lots of dim sum here

Fermented beancurd... it's not as 'smelly' as I wished and expected ... LOL 

'Tau Foo Fah' but it's sour!! Its like drinking beancurd soup!

And, a plain vermicelli for wifey
All in all, these foods cost me around RMB120-130+!! Shanghai is really an expensive place !!
