The Famous city in China

    Today, I write about the famous city, Shanghai, in China.  I visited there with my family and grand parents seven years ago.  I had never found the interesting culture and food in Shanghai before. Therefore, I introduce you about that and my memory in Shanghai.

   

     First, I write the history and culture simply.  Shanghai is the biggest city and has the largest population in China.  Also it is the center of Chinese industry, money market, and traffic, so many people in the world go over or live on business. There are a lot of foreign affiliated companies and restaurant like UNIQLO.  Recently the buildings are sharply developing and taller than ever.  However, a lot of traditional buildings remains, so visitor can enjoy seeing and feeling traditional Chinese culture.

 

 

    Secondly, I show my interesting memories.  My family visited there in winter, so we felt so cold.

Moreover, I coud not see more clearly scenery than I had expected because of fog.  However many visitor came to the spot that we can see the beautiful view, so it was crowded and lively there.  There are a lot of high buildings, and I thought one of that is more higher than buildings in Tokyo.  I enjoyed shopping and having some delicious sweets at the wide street.  I found there were various kind of shops there like old traditional ones and newly foreign affiliated ones.  I ate a Chinese famous sweet, egg tart.  This sweet is popular among young women and made from much castard.  It tastes so good, so I recommend to eat it if you visit in China. 

What do you thing is the most pupular food in Shanghai?  Maybe most people guess it is Shanghai club, off course I ate it!  Shanghai club is so small comparing Japanese ones, but it contains much rich delicious club viscera(miso).  This picture is Shanghai club and shouronpou which is popular food too. 

 

I went to the traditional buildings for sightseeing the next day.  Its atmosphere is completly different from modern street I went through the day before.  The traditional buildings have meticulous decolations, so I could feel as if I was in the past Chinese era.  At that place, I purchased some souvenirs for friends.  They were bracelets and pen cases wich made from Chinese traditional materials. 

 



After that, my family enjoyed drinking Chinese tea in the old traditional garden.  It similared to Japanese one, so we relaxed there.  I was so surprised to the tea because one of that was the small flower bloomed in the pot.  It was very beautiful and amazing.  Also, we had various kind of tea that is not familiar in Japan.  

 

    Finally, Shanghai is great city that has two aspects, modern and traditional mood.  Therefore, the visitors can enjoy and feel two cultures!  I hope you had more interested in Shanghai after you read my blog!!

Thank you.
