Morning Sun Tries to Penetrate the Mist at the Bund 外滩
It was about time I relaxed in my China trip. Most of the time, I was rushing from one place to another. This is almost the end of my trip and it was about time I went on a real vacation. I finally got a bottom bunk at the Shanghai Captain International Youth Hostel and it was a very comfortable night’s sleep. It was quite surreal to hear the regular chiming of the clock just around the corner. No wonder, it was already morning. A quick bath at the basic shared bathroom and I was out again. This time I don’t have a real plan in mind and I just want to walk around.
Morning Mist Obscures the Bund 外滩
The best place to walk around Shanghai would be the Bund. It was early morning but there were already quite a few people here walking about. Most of them were joggers and just people doing their stretching. It won’t get busy here at the Bund for a while and it was interesting to watch how the people go about their lives. The morning mist was quite thick and I made it difficult to see what was on the opposite side of the Huangpu River. Even some buildings along the Bund itself were difficult to see. I just hope the mist lifts as the day progresses.
