From Yu Garden metro line 10 station, Xintiandi in French
Concession is just two stops away. We
followed the French Concession walking tour from Frommer’s which led us to
Fuxing Park. I have to say that French Concession is one of the most beautiful
places in Shanghai.
Not crowded, the streets are lined with maple trees and the place feels like
Europe rather than China.
We arrived in late autumn and for someone coming from a
tropical country, watching the golden maple leaves falling from the trees is
just priceless. The Fuxing Park is
lovely and serene and could have been more beautiful on a sunny day.
Xintiandi
Xintiandi is a compound of old houses turned into a
complex of restaurants and shops. We managed to find Din Tai Fung here, the Shanghai
restaurant rated as # 1 in tripadvisor as of the time of this writing.
Din Tai Fung
Restaurant
We ordered their xiaolongpao, honey glazed spareribs,
drunken chicken, fried string beans, fried rice and pork bun. The serving size
is small. Compared to Nanxiang, Din Tai Fung’s Xialongpao is way better but I
can’t still find the WOW factor. But their honey glazed pork spareribs is to
die for! We tried to order a second spareribs but it has gone sold out. Prepare
to spend RMB130-150 (USD 20.00 – 24.00) per person.

The Bund at Night (Shanghai at Night)
To wrap up our trip, we spent our last few hours in Shanghai
strolling along the end of East Nanjing Road and the Bund. The sight of Nanjing
Road, The Bund and Pudong Skyline bursting in colours at night is something
that will blow your mind away.
