Previously:
Our visit to Shanghai lasted two nights, with only one full day available for touring around this massive city. I attempted to visit numerous iconic sites within a tight timeframe and have summarised them in this post, which I hope my lovely readers will enjoy it.
First, Chinese mochi for breakfast. The shop is located at the intersection of Nanjing road and Zhejiang Road. People were continually arriving to buy their mochi, but the queue moved fairly quickly. We were initially uncertain about what to get, so we decided to buy one each. They were surprisingly good. The texture was soft and chewy and the fillings were plentiful. The one with black sesame filling and coated with coconut flakes was my favourite.
On that day, we also visited Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Disney store, Yu Yuan or Yu Garden, and Jade Buddha Temple. Travelling around Shanghai city with their Metro is very convenient and cheap as well. You can buy ticket from ticket machine and there are English language signs everywhere.

The giant dumpling is for me just something to try once in a lifetime. It is definitely something new for me, unfortunately taste wise, didn't meet my expectation. It was huge yet plain dumpling skin with full of soup inside. But hardly any meat in it, I believe is zero meat actually. They gave us a straw to suck all the soup. It was more like drinking some kinda broth rather than eating a dumpling. I still prefer just the normal xiao long bao.
