Shanghai Trip Part 3: Shanghai @ night

This is Shanghai at night... First pic is the Pearl Tower. 东方明珠. It is one of the "Must Visit" in Shanghai. It was very very cold when I was there. We took a lift to the top of the tower. From there, you will be able to see a 360 degree portrait of Shanghai view.

The next 3 pics were taken at The Bund. 外滩. The first faces the other side of the river while the other 2 shows the brightly lit city buildings.

Up next is the place where we had our dinner twice. It is a restaurant in a huge boat. Can you see the dragon head? Unfortunately, the boat is not moving, just a bit of sway caused by the current.
This interesting boat restaurant is harboured under the bridge. This pic was taken after our dinner on our way to the Acrobatic Show.
These 2 pics were taken at the show. Amazing show indeed! A lot of balancing, from chairs to humans. A lot of coordination too!

By the way, they are throwing many hats.

More to come... Enjoy your week ahead everyone!

Visit to Wetland Reserve Sungei Buloh

Cannot remember which weekend, we visited Wetland Reserve Sungei Buloh. Good weather, but wrong time...

By the time we reached there, it was high tide! current was strong and part of the trekking path was submerged by water. We had to back-track cos we can't go any further.

So we can forget about the mangrove, all plants at the mangrove area were submerged. No mud-skipper, nothing!!! Managed to locate a few crabs that hugged the barks of the trees. Luckliy no crocodiles.
Along the tracks, we see a lot of huge lizards like this! Komodo Dragon? I'm not very sure. They can be more than a metre long!
Wai Hoi and Wai Yan posing for a pic.
Wai Lok probably don't know what is happening, he had a good sleep along the track with a nice breeze.
They never failed to smile at the camera.

So, moral of the story is...
Be there early, maybe 9am?

Prawn Fishing!

More interesting Shanghai pics coming...
With very little time today, sharing something closer to home.
This is Nature Park at Bishan. It has a golf driving range and 2 small ponds for prawn fishing.
It costs:
$15 for 1 hr
$25 for 2 hr
$30 for 3 hr

Good thing about this place is that it has fences around the pond and safe for children. Kids can run all over the place.
And...
I saw them putting in a net full of prawns... which means there are prawns really in there!

So we got a rod and some bait. Took a net to keep the catch.

This is Daddy and Wai Hoi trying to set the bait on the hook. WaiYan will run when the prawn is caught and struggling on the line. She is funny!This is Wai Hoi's catch of the day! not bad huh? We managed 7 prawns in 1 hour. I thought that's good enough for the kids.

Watch out for my next post on Sungei Buloh!
