The Bund
by Sharrie
Take a leisure stroll on THE BUND, be it in daylight or in the night.
The Bund, being Shanghai's financial hub - Wall Street of Far East & the symbol of Shanghai, is basically a stretch of street where tall & huge architecture stands one after another by the glittering Huang Pu River.
Broadly, Shanghai is divided into 2 areas by this Huang Pu River: Pu Dong (East of Huang Pu River) & Pu Xi (West of Huang Pu River). Most of the tourist attractions are located in Pu Xi.

The world's first Barbie Flagship Store has opened in Shanghai, occupying an entire 5-storey pink building along the shopping mecca of Huaihai Middle Road. Come here only if you are not allergic to pink or girly girls, or have an easily enticed daughter/girlfriend/wife/female who does not understand the concept of money. In addition to Barbie dolls (including some rare and expensive models), the store sells womenswear, women's accessories, childrenwear and, er, Barbie chocolate. There is also a spa and cafe. Men, beware. It's. A. Trap. Dolls, clothes, accessories. About RMB250 for a Barbie doll, RMB1000+ for a Barbie handbag.

Just look at the bowl of mutton noodle... delicious, right? Yes, indeed! It's along an alley nearby a sex toys shop, opposite of Peace Hotel near the Bund. Mutton Noodle, a little spicy and has no weird smell at all.
