The Bund: Walk along the river to see all the action!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: There is alot of action on the river! Boats,Ships,Junks & and barges of all sizes are roaming the waters! I could spend hours just watching the boats go by! Sadly I only saw one Junk with it's sails up and it was a prop being used in a Steven Speilburg movie so that doesn't count!

    Nanjing Lu: Cruising the Shopping areas
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: You can walk around in some of the shopping areas where at certain times can be quite crowded. When I was there in 1987 the most of the shelves in the stores where quite bare!! I think things have changed since then. I thought it was quite interesting to walk into a Huge store with lot's of racks and shelving and only have a few items on each one. Prices were very cheap compared to here in America.

    General Tips: Walk along the Wusong River
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: There appeared to be families living on many of these boats that were tied up in the Wusong River. I enjoyed just walking along and watching how people lived and worked.

    General Tips: Making a Steven Speilburg movie
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Steven Speilburg was filming "Empire of the Sun" while I was in Shanghai. One of the days was very interesting as I kept coming across different "movie props" that I thought were real!! LOL When I saw this movie marquee for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" I thought that it had run non-stop since the 1930's!! ahahha I was going to check it out...I also came across an old Texaco sign and in 1987 There weren't any of these foreign companies in China so that was a prop too...The foreign companies were just starting to get back in at this time. Well that sign was a movie prop also. In the evening I watched the Bridge scene being filmed as I stood up on the hill above the Wusong River. It was pretty interesting to see.

    Fondest Memory: This was so cool...I was disappointed that it wasn't a real movie house!

    General Tips: Man and child
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: I don't know why but I noticed that alot of the babies were being cared for by the fathers in Shanghai. When I did my wandering through the residential areas. Maybe the moms were working? Maybe the Moms needed a break? I don't know...just something that I noticed. I spend alot of time with my son and I also did the same when he was a baby....I guess we are all the same all over!?!
