From Wuhu (PARTEE) to Nanjing to Shanghai and home

We took a car from Wuhu to Nanjing to catch the high speed train to Shanghai. The train traveled most of the way at about 300k/hr (for the metrically challenged that’s about 136 mph) Here is the train coming into the Nanjing station.

The message board in the train keeps you updated on stuff like speed. Here showing 287 k/hr

We arrived in Shanhai and taxied to our 150 year old hotel on the Bund…

Astor House Hotel

Just around the corner from this late afternoon view of Shanghai.

A few blocks away is Nanjing road, the Times Square of this part of Shanghai, here with the moon rising.

At the end of Nanjing road next to the river is the Peace Hotel that on the 9th floor is an expensive restaurant that we have eaten in about every time we are in Shanghai. A dinner there finished the night.

So it was back to the hotel for the night with another stop on the bridge for another picture of Shanghai at night.

This then lead to the camera generated panorama photo.

Next day on the big silver bird for the flight home. 36 hours after this picture I walked into the house.
