Skyways Bakery and Deli, i love this place, you can choose the bread the toppings, the sauces and you can have a drink just for 15 rmb, and the chief will make your sandwich really fast so when you feel starving come to Skyways Bakery and Deli.

And i like the tuna sandwich, for sure you can add another toppings on like bacon salami or chicken, just remember each extra topping will charge 5 rmb.

If you go to the Bund, there is another bridge you have to go which is Wai Baidu Bridge.

It has a long history and it means a lot to Shanghai people, some old people even call it Grandma Bridge. Wai Baidu Bridge was built in 1907, it`s over 100 years and last year it was moved to another place to repaired it, and in 2009, this year 26th, Feb. it finally came back. Here are some pics i took when i had a trip there.

Mosuo people is belong to Naxi, their culture is so different as others, they are still keep the Matriarchal society, and they don't have the Marriage system, Man do not need to marry a woman, woman don't marry to a man. When man and woman meet on a event or an anniversary, they like each other, the man will go to this woman`s house from the window at midnight, and the man have to leave before girl`s parent wake up, and when he leave he can take the door, but if he meet the parents when he leave, they will think it`s kinda rude.  This is a traditional way of Mosuo people how to breed, and after the woman gave birth to the baby, the father will admit he is the baby`s father and will treat all the family when the baby one month old.

This is so different as nowadays, but i think the relationship between them are much easier than in the modern city, and maybe not many people can accept this culture at all.

I will have to say it`s the most modern pagoda i even see before, it`s have the elevator from the entrance to the pagoda, and inside of the pagoda, it have two transparent life that you can take directly to the fourth story and no climbing at all, but it`s now a totally tourist place you can not feel it`s a pagoda though.
The view are really nice if you get to the top of pagoda, you can have the view of Su Causeway, Small Yingzhou Islet and of cause the hug West Lake.

Another thing about Lei Feng Pagoda is it was a very important place to hid the Scriptures.

They have many bricks which have a 3cm hole in the middle of them and you can fold the scriptures and hid inside of the bricks, and they use this kind of bricks to build the roads or other things, so no one will find out and it`s fire proof which i think is really smart.

I was dreamed of coming Broken Bridge for many years since i heard  the Chinese folk story "The Legend of Lady Snake White".

I don't know how to describe the feeling but i was so happy and excited coz i was walking through the bridge and it feels so good. But just so many people there though.

I really like the first photo i took, the Bride and the willow, the lake, it is the heaven of China.

It`s a show about they found one of the biggest Gilt Qibao Ashoka Pogoda  which was found in underground palace of Changgan Temple in Nanjing. Many decent painting on the will to tell you the story of Buddha and Ashoka, and you can see the metal case and another stone case to hide this Pagoda, really impressive.

I was at Ling Yin Temple but the admission was too expensive and i need to buy the ticket for Fei Lai feng (35 Yuan) first, then go inside, and the Ling Yin if you want to go you need to pay another 30 Yuan for that, i think it`s not worth to go then we just hung around and took some photos.

If i only see the photos i will think these photos was taken at Tibet, the temples design, the color they used, and the way the having these flags, all of it brings me a Tibet temple, but it`s a temple actually in Beijing, right?

So cool! I like this temple.
