Our stay in China ended where it began...
in Shanghai.
We spent our last evening on a night cruise on the Huang Pu River.
It was a totally different view of the stately buildings and multi-national architecture of the Bund...
than we had seen in the daytime.
We had perfect weather that evening...
and spent a good deal of time out on the deck...
...where the camera crowd hangs out!
The rest of the cruise passengers watched the lights from inside the ship.
Though most all of these were tourists...
we (our tour group) were the only Caucasians on board.
We were in good company out on the river at night...
...but all the boats were easy to spot!
It was one big light show.
The Pudong...
east bank skyline with the towering Pearl tower.
This area is all new buildings.
Across the river...
on the west bank is the famous Bund...
with all its old historic buildings.
ICBC...
the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
Where I come from ICBC means Insurance Corporation of British Columbia.
Our light tour of Shanghai was the perfect finale to our time in China.
In the morning we would be boarding the plane for home...
...and saying farewell to this wonderful group of people with whom we had spent the past week.
I am hoping we will meet up again sometime.
We really miss our little 'girl in pink'!
And so ends the Amazing Shanghai Plus Tour...
as it was billed.
An adventure...
a once-in-a-lifetime experience we were glad to be a part of!
