The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

In looking for a Tea House, we encounter this gem where we had a true Tea House experience. They had 2 ladies playing folkloric instruments and singing. It was our first stop in Shanghai, and amazing welcome to China with this scene. We selected our teas, and when the waiter came she brought the tea plus some typical snacks such as boiled quail eggs, and some sweets. We had a great time trying all those new things. And the table we were add had a view of the Yu garden. It's totally worth stopping by this historical place

Seeing the many different figures of many different tao gods made a very pleasant change from the usual Buddha temples. Some of the gods looked very scary, others very benign. Felt like photoing all of them but there are limits.
