Shanghai Family Adventure: Exploring Iconic Landmarks and Hidden Gems
We brought our daughter to China, because we have such great memories here. In fact, once she was born, China was near the top of the list for places we wanted to show her.

We brought our daughter to China, because we have such great memories here. In fact, once she was born, China was near the top of the list for places we wanted to show her. It was our first time using a basinet seat in an airplane. That worked out well. Although, the power went out of the plane and so we were 6 hours without our entertainment/ TVs, and also no lunch. No sweat, the airline gaves us a huge bag of free snacks once we landed. The 240-hout transit only, visa-free process in China is clearly getting some good usage. When we first traveled here, 1.5 years ago, the staff at immigration were very helpful, although they were a bit confused about how to process us. This time, we went straight through without any delay. We are glad to see a lot of tourists checking out China. There's a lot to offer here! Upon arrival, we couldn't check in for 2 hours. Which meant we immediately hit the streets in search of HOW CHIT BREAD! We were on little sleep and quite hungry. There were plenty of closer restaurants nearby us. But we had to return to Steve's favorite Shanghai street food. And it didn't disappoint! Just as delicious as always. After the weather cleared up, we returned to some old favorites. Nanjing pedestrian street, the bund, and more. Ivana said Shanghai is one of her favorite cities in the world, and she really means it. It's such a nice place. Clean, organized, affordable, with plenty to do. She even found White Rabbit -- a candy shop that she remembers from her childhood in Indonesia. We bought a bunch of candy there-- gifts for her family. Once the sun set, we found a great restaurant that only had 1 item available on the menu. We like places like that. It was a simple shop and exceedingly quiet. The food was good. A great way to end the day.
JetLag Warriors returned to China, a place holding cherished memories, this time bringing their daughter. Their journey began with an unexpected power outage on the flight, but free snacks upon arrival eased the inconvenience. The 240-hour visa-free transit was seamless, a stark contrast to their previous experience. Upon arrival, a two-hour check-in delay led them to their favorite Shanghai street food, a delicious start to their adventure. Exploring familiar haunts like Nanjing Pedestrian Street and The Bund, they found Shanghai as charming as ever. Their daughter, Ivana, declared Shanghai a favorite city, captivated by its cleanliness, affordability, and abundance of activities. A nostalgic candy shop trip and a quiet dinner concluded their first day, promising more exciting adventures to come.
