This beautiful hotel, the historic Fairmont on the Bund, was a welcome site to all of us after our overnight train and stay in the Hutong in Beijing. Our room wan't ready when we got there early in the morning, but thankfully the let us get ready in the spa.
We got picked up about an hour after arriving at the hotel to start our tour of Shanghai!
Love the architecture
Walking on the zig zag bridge at one of our first stops, the gorgeous Yu Garden
Fantastic dragon on top of the wall
Highlight of Shanghai for the girls, the Koi fish. It was almost impossible to get them to leave
Checking out the fish, again
My little loves
Our fantastic tour guide took us to get one of our favorite things ever, XiaoLongBao. All four of us could eat our weight in these soup filled dumplings
After lunch we went to the super fun Oriental Pearl Tower or TV Tower
It provided views of the second and third tallest buildings in the world
The insane glass bottom floor!
It literally made me nauseous walking out on this
My baby girl
The girls loved it. The glass floor didn't bother them a bit
On the ground floor of the TV Tower was a very kid friendly museum with wax figures, depicting Shanghai's history.
It had a model of the Bund. The green pointed roof building was our hotel
Olivia at the "sushi bar"
Visiting Xintiandi, a pedestrian only shopping zone
That night, we went on a walking food tour. One of our first stops was a place that served the water snake we watched have its head snipped off and skinned right there on the street.
Ick! Olivia and Mike really enjoyed it. It was breaded and deep fried. While I had a quick taste, Eliza refused
Super yummy food
Waiting for Shanghai Disney to open! So. Many. People. So little personal space!
Here we go!
Pirates of the Caribbean
AMAZING UNBELIEVABLE INCREDIBLE ride!
Dumbo!
We rode Tron in Tomorrowland twice. Such a fun roller coster. Eliza was just barely tall enough to ride it, but squeaked in.
Peter Pan
Winnie the Pooh
A camel!
Rainy and oh so cold!
We finally fed them! American hotdogs
Castle was stunning
Really cool floats at the parade
Mulan
Such a fun, albeit cold day
All of the taxis had these weird plastic shields around the driver
Soo tired!
We had a delicious Chinese dinner within walking distance of the hotel
A nice warm bubble bath after a fun, but freezing day
