After arriving on the overnight train, we checked into the Marriott City Centre and immediately set off to explore the city. We started at the Jewish Refugee Museum which is housed in a former synagogue that was established by Jewish refugees from Russia at the turn of the century. We also discovered that over 20,000 Jewish refugees escaped to Shanghai from Germany in the late 1930s including former US Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal who arrived in 1936 and returned in 1990 to visit his childhood home. We walked back home across the hundred year old Waibaidu Bridge and a walk along The Bund - home to a series of colonial era buildings that contributed to Shanghai to being a financial center and trading center in the early 1900s. Directly across the Huangpu River which used to be barren land stands modern Shanghai (Pudong) with a series of skyscrapers and the grounds of the 2010 World Expo. The next morning we set off for Wu Gardens which is a public garden and also home to a famous take-away stand featuring Shanghai's famous dumpling. We continued our walking tour through old Shanghai including remnants of the old city hall, the live bird market and finally the home of Sun-Yat Sen before we headed back for an early dinner and packing up for Nanjing.
