Shanghai: Peace Hotel, City God Temple, Yu Gardens, Peoples Park, Maglev Train
Returning to the USA by way of Shanghai, we stay overnight at the historic Peace Hotel and have a few hours to revisit the city before catching our flight home.
The beautiful art deco Peace Hotel, built in the 1930s, still stands proudly near the north end of The Bund, and a jazz band still entertains guests nightly. I have visited and photographed the Peace Hotel before, but it is fun to stay overnight this time and take a few more photos.
The [Daoist] City God Temple is situated right next to one of the entrances to the popular Yu Gardens and Bazaar, so it is hard to miss.
The Yu Gardens are small, but there are lots of twists and turns and surprises. Unfortunately this was a rather gray day, not good for photography.
Statues in Peoples Park, just off of Nanjing Lu.
The maglev train, which reaches 430km/h on our way to the airport.
