We survived Shanghai: Day 3


For our breakfast, we had hot beef noodles to match the weather. A typhoon hit Shanghai on our third day there. We were lucky because the rain wasn't that strong and so we were still able to tour around.

First stop was the Longhua temple. It can be reached by taking Shanghai Metro Line 3 to Longcao Road Station, Exit 1. Walk eastwards for around 15 minutes to reach the temple.

Our next stop was supposed to be at Qibao but we didn't have any time left since we needed to reach Xujiahui station by 12pm to attend Sunday mass.


So we went straight to St. Ignatius Church. It is just behind Line 1 Xuijahui Station.

It was still raining pretty hard after the mass, so we found shelter at a nearby mall. We had lunch here, check out my previous post on Bellagio Cafe at Grand Gateway mall.

Then we left the mall, good thing the sun was already shining! :) We went to Luijazu station to check out a different view of The Bund - where the Orient Pearl and Jin Mao tower are.


Before we went there we first passed by the Super Brand Mall to check out H&M. :)


Then we strolled around Lujiazu Park where one can see a great view of the buildings at The Bund.

Behind me is a coffee shop.
If you want to stay until night to see the lights, this is the best place to be! (Aside from Super Brand Mall hihi)

Then we went for dinner at Cafe de Coral, Super Brand Mall.
