Chapter 5.2: Adventurous travelling!

Company stuff aside! Last Sunday we went 泸潮港 to have seafood that was recommended by Kim Chuan's colleague. It was so far south of Shanghai that it took us 2 hours just to reach there. For the time spent travelling, the view of the place isn't that great (Reminds me of Kukup). The sea is about 100m away from the town area and we were too lazy to walk so far. As for the seafood, we had some exotic fishes, one of which has a texture of toufu another one seems like mudskipper.. End of the day, we nearly missed the bus ride home! It was a real close shave. In terms of adventurous factor, this is certainly one of the high risk trips we took, as the place is out of the Shanghai map...

Monday we went 龙华寺, the oldest temple in Shanghai (Built in 3 kingdoms era, 247 AD). Beside the temple is a pyramid-like monument surrounded within a garden for the Martyrs that liberated Shanghai in 1924 (i think). The place is calm and serene but has sites that reminds you of what atrocities people will go through in pursue of their ideal world and government. This place sort of reminds me of Changi Prison Museum in Singapore.

Now for the pictures!
