The next morning we decided to go to Nanjing Road for some serious shopping. We did a lot of walking spryly and hb took the opportunity to purchase on some interesting books.

The following day - all too soon it was time to go home. Our guide escorted us to Shanghai Maglev Train in Longyang Road Station departing to Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
