Chapter 10: Shanghai Motor Show & 南京trip!

Hi guys,

This weekend was a whirlwind! It started on friday with us going to Shanghai Motor Show 2009 which is one of the largest Car Shows in Asia. What is there to see? Cars and Models, of course.
Thereafter, we went to eat at the highly popular 辛香汇 which we have to book 5 weeks in advance. The food was interesting and on the spicy side, the ambiance was great as well. Not to mention, its price is comfortable to our wallets.

The next day and today was spent in 南京 visiting historical places and recounting some events that help shaped China today. The notable places are 中山陵,明孝陵,总统府 and 南京大屠杀纪念馆.

Now the pictures shall elaborate further!

This place is so popular that either you book tables 5 weeks in advance or queue 2~3 hours outside.

Ground level structure of 中山陵, mausoleum of 孙中山, one of the founding fathers of modern China.

明孝陵, the predicted mausoleum of 朱元璋, first emperor of Ming Dynasty.

This place has a long history and has been part of many events of China, from 明朝,朱元璋 to more recently 蒋介石's Office. Currently, the inside is much like Istana of Singapore.
