Liny had her wedding dinner on 30 Oct 2009. We took the opportunity to visit Shanghai and Hangzhou for a short break and catch up with friends. Had dinner with Joyce, Wendy and Philip Zhang in Shanghai. Then caught up with Ray and his wife in Hangzhou.Finally did the tourist thing with Connie - Shanghai World Financial Center (highest observatory deck in the world), took the cruise along the Huang Pu river for view of Pudong and Bund in the night, visited Madam Trusseud (lots of chinese famous folks including Theresa Teng, Yao Ming), Yu Yuan, ZhouZhuan (including riding on the gondolas paddled by singing boat lady) XiTianDi ...
In Hangzhou we did the West Lake tour and then after dinner with Ray and wife - we took in the 'Impression of West Lake' directed by ZhangYiMou. A must see if you happen to be around Hangzhou/Shanghai. We missed the Sung City performance as we ran out of time.
Of course the food was marvellous - even Connie loved it. A great break! Now to get the boys to join us there!
