The last two stops on our big China trip were Shanghai and Hong Kong. Too many impressions to even write about here, so I’ll just focus on some things that really stood out.
Shanghai seemed way more westernized than Beijing and Hangzhou, but it did have its unique asian quirks. For example, we visited an interactive exhibition, which was more of a glorified selfie gallery, where people lined up in front of the exhibits to take pretty photos of themselves. I don’t think we used any of the pieces for its intended purpose, but we did end up with some hilarious photos.
Otherwise, we saw most of Shanghai at night, which I think is the most beautiful time to experience it anyway. Not much to explain, just indulge the beauty of the Shanghai night sky:
Afterwards we took a plane to Hong Kong, where we stayed another four days. This part of the journey was mostly about food and souvenirs, as well as a museum visit and some other rather chill activities. We were all pretty exhausted from the trip already, and therefore at least not too unhappy to head back home in the end. However, I especially enjoyed the downtown markets, which have a really unique flair, being nudged in between all those skyscrapers.
