It is the city where my father and my grandfather and my ancestors lived; it is the city where I am now in love with.
The very first time that I set foot on Shanghai a couple years ago, I immediately fell in love with it.
“I like it here! I love it!” I exclaimed.
“You lil traitor! You’ve never lived here yet and you just came from the city you were born and grew up in!” teased my husband.
But hey, I have in my veins the blood of a Shanghai native.
And finally, after all these years I’ve come back to embrace this part of me, of who I am.
Shanghai, my city, well, among my cities, that is. I love thee.
Love these pictures, it makes me miss City life 🙂
Thank you! Yeah, it’s exciting to live in the city — and I sometimes miss quiet small town life, too 🙂 Glad you liked the pics!
Your photos are great! Shanghai is a beautiful city!
Thank you! 🙂
Wonderful! I want to put it on my list of places to see. How about its history? Possibly another blog on this great city? Being one that loves to travel I would love to find out more about it.
Wow, that’s great! Shanghai and surrounding cities (such as Suzhou and Hangzhou) are very scenic and have a lot of history. Great for sightseeing and cultural experience. And thank you so much for suggesting a blog on history! Sure is an interesting topic — truth is, I don’t know much about its history, either. Great opportunity for me to research and understand more about “my city” 😉 . Thanks!
I been there a few years ago and it is really modern city compared to the other parts of China. Really interesting place but the cost of living is really high too. Anyway nice shots. =)
Thanks! Hahaha, so true about the cost of living 😉
