Top 8 Things to do Adventurous in Shanghai, Shanghai Region
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 came here on the last night of our China tour with our group. Needless to say this was yet another fantastic highlight of our trip. The performance is held in a large circus type tent and is very atmospheric. The performance is very varied and of an incredible standard. We enjoyed every incredible moment and came out wondering how these amazing artists did it. Highly recommend.

We stayed at the Fairmont Peace Hotel near the Bund and debated how to travel to Disneyland. The simpler and quicker option was going by cab which took us a short hour. We were relieved to see a cab stand for the return trip to our hotel. I think the one way fare was around $25. Our tickets were bought online and we brought out confirmation letter plus our passports to the theater located at Downtown Disney to get our tickets. We also purchased fast pass premium tickets since we were not sure how crowded the park would be since we were there on December 23. These fast pass tickets were bought online but could only purchase one week in advance. Because of the fast pass tickets, we entered a special entrance to the park. There were very few people at this entrance but then again it was around 9 a.m. Overall, the park was not crowded in the morning but by afternoon, the park crowd really swelled. Our fast pass premium tickets provided us with access to the following: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Peter Pan's Flight, Winnie the Pooh, Pirates of the Caribbean, Soarin, Roaring Rapids, Tron, and Buzz Lightyear. We didn't attend the parade, but there was a reserved area for fast pass holders. We first headed to the rides that were not part of the fast pass such as Dumbo and Pixar Toy Storyland. We were able to quickly go on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh and the Hunny Pot spin. The cold weather prohibited us from going on the Roaring Rapids. Soarin was mostly the same scenes but still one of my favorite rides. The intro was rather unique. The absolute best ride in all the six parks was Shanghai's version of Pirates of the Caribbean! We had to go on it twice. We loved the easier to use controls on Buzz Lightyear. Tron Lightcycle is not for the faint of heart and only our 28 year old daughter was brave enough to go. No thanks! We tried the cherry flavored popcorn and liked it. Our lunch was at Barbossa's Bounty in Treasure Cove. We ordered the ribs (which came with plastic gloves to wear, not a bad idea!) and the fish which was quite delicious as well. The Alice in Wonderland Maze was a great place for photo ops. We noticed that of all the Disney parks in the world, the people really dressed up the most here. Some men wore suits and quite a few of the 20 something females wore dresses or very stylish outfits. Of all the six parks I would rank them: DisneyWorld, Disneyland, Shanghai, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Paris.

This is a very fun place to visit. It’s a very unique experience. It’s not your typical touristy stop. It is a local market where they sell small animals, more crickets than you can even imagine, plants and flowered and many other interesting things. Definitely take your time to walk up and down the aisles exploring the market.
