Chapter 9: Trip to 古漪园

Hi guys!
Last week, I met up with my relatives and mother in Shanghai for a short 1/2 day shopping trip before they return to Singapore after 1 week of travel. I took the renowned maglev train after sending them off at the airport. It was a wonderful experience as the train was blazing at a speed of 431km/h yet the journey was smooth as silk! Below is a picture of the train:



Also, the same weekend a few of us went 古漪园 which is in 南翔 area of Shanghai. The area is named after 白鹤南翔寺 which is built about 1500 years ago and is also famous for its 小龙包. 古漪园 take its name after 漪园 which means 绿竹漪漪 (Bamboo which are beautifully green).

Now lets check out the photos!

Flowers galore!
