It’s supposed to be springtime in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Moganshan, but it felt like winter when I was there recently. Grey skies, strong wings and icy rain dominated most of the 11 days. Only three days had very brief bursts of sunshine. And to make things worse I came down with the stomach flu and spent an afternoon at a local hospital for observation. I’m glad it was nothing serious.
Hailed as the Paris of the East, Shanghai is indeed a very cosmopolitan and photogenic city. A three-hour drive away from the hustle and bustle of Shanghai is Moganshan. Blessed with scenic mountain views, Moganshan is a great place for peace and quiet, rest and relaxation. While Hangzhou, China’s number one tourism destination is really that! So if you’re not into sharing public places with busloads of tourists, then the Heavenly City is not you cup of Longjing tea (a famous green tea from Hangzhou). In case you’re wondering, no, I did not enjoy Hangzhou at all. But I love Shanghai and Moganshan heaps!
