New Center at the Amazing Shanghai

Shanghai is known for a lot of amazing things. But nothing prepared me for the experience I had at the Shanghai Centre in town. Obviously economics have seen a huge up-shift in a very short period of time. I was very surprised at the high level of accommodation, right up to western standards plus lower in price of course.

Finnish Winter Wonderland

Known by some as the land of the fairies, Finland is beautiful during winter. Under the delicate snow coating there is a well developed culture, modern technology as well as an incredibly advanced social system.

What amazed me the most is that all schools are free for everyone. Making it a popular destination for exchange students.. but dispute the low price the quality of education is one of the highest in the world.

PVG to Bund, Science and Technology Station Market...then back to PVG

PVG to Bund, Science and Technology Station Market...then back to PVG
i have a 8 hour layover and would like to go from PVG to the Bund area and to the Science and Technology subway station market. Please advise on how to get to both, in any order. tx

I'm wondering if you want to go to the SH A.P. Xinyang Fashion & Gifts Market just inside that subway station? If so, you are suggested to that market first and Bund area later. You can take the subway line 2 at the airport and get off at the Science and Technology Station, then walk to the market. Then you can still take the line 2 to East Nanjing Road Station and walk to the bund area.
