After 2 days at sea, our first port of call was Shanghai.  It was here that we got our first taste of Chinese officialdom.  We arrived at the port at around 8:30 am, having already been told that we would be leaving tomorrow at 10:30 am rather than 2pm because of port traffic rules.  However, by the time that the immigration officials had inspected and stamped passports, and conducted face-to-face inspections we were not off the ship until almost 1pm.

As time was now far too short, we had to be selective in our program.  We decided to skip the Pearl TV Tower and the Shanghai museum, and instead see the following:

The Bund

The Yu Gardens

The Evening Acrobatics

Shanghai Night Skyline
