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.

We visited the Hushi Mosque for Friday prayers and after coming out there is a long row of street food vendors on both sides of the road, selling a variety of Muslim Chinese foods. Great for carnivores as they love their lamb :) If intending to go, suggest you have a light breakfast that morning as there is so much to enjoy from dumplings, baozi, noodles and various bbq items.

I went to the Hongqiao Pearl Market specifically looking for pearls. Before I went, I read the trip advisor reviews. Based upon the reviews, I decided to give Catherine's a visit. Catherine's shop is near the escalator on the second floor. Catherine did not disappoint me. She was knowledgeable and helpful. We sat down and discussed various pearl strands and the costs. She was even polite when we negotiated the price. Would go back and buy from Catherine again.

The road is split into East-West and a large part of it is for pedestrian-only. A huge array of shopping malls, small shops, and boutiques along authentic food is something not to be missed out. The road is also close to the Yuyuan Garden which is an absolute must-see, as it brings you back to old China, several centuries ago.

I confess that pearls are my favourite gemstone so I loved this collection of stores. Good prices are real (no fakes) pearls. There is a fantastic range of jewellery available here.
