Just Build

It is my last day in Shanghai and I want to share an image that summarizes my experience here. I was caught by this city. Its energy is great. And I love the contrasts of ancient architecture and tradition with the high modernity that you can also find here. 

Pic 1: This is a temple that ended up being in the middle of the city. 

Pic 2: inside the traditional Yu Garden you can see the 128 floors building. 

There is a lot more to say about the city, but being able to keep the old while building the new is a great feature. It is a place to come back.

I’m a writer and an editor. I love art, literature, music, and to drink good coffee. I practice Ashtanga yoga. I’m here to connect and learn. 

Last time I've been in Shanghai was 2012, can't believe that's 12 years ago. Looking forward to visiting again soon~!

It was my first time there. But I think the city must have changed a lot in 12 years. It is impressive how fast the city grows and how modern it is now.

Oh, that’s cool. I’ve also been to Hangzhou. Such a beautiful city. I want to come back. There is a lot to see, including Beijing maybe the south. Let’s see how/when I can plan the next trip. By now, I’ll enjoy some days in Hong Kong.

Absolutely, fren! I'm sure about it. Mainland China's development is breathtaking. I visited the Mainland again just recently, I was in (and fell in love with) Yunnan; staying in Kunming. Next time, I was thinking about travellng Yunnan more. I wanna visit Shanghai again too. I studied at 浙大 in Hangzhou in 12/13.
