Well, it turned out that it also rained in Shanghai when I arrived in Saturday morning. It was quite soft rain but lasted almost all day. But after a rainy day it is suddenly very sunny and warm on Sunday. They do say that there is always a sunny day after a rainy day. Don’t they say that? Right? Anyway … nice to see Shanghai in sunny day.
This photo is taken when crossing the street going in front of the hotel. Trying to get to Jing’an Temple’s subway station. It should be near 
Actually, I remembered quite well where it was from the last year when I browsed the neighbourhood of the hotel quite well. The subway system in Shanghai is very efficient, has aircondition and is actually extremely nice way to travel inside the city. Of course the most convient way to travel is just to take a taxi as they are so cheap that you can pretty much travel to anywhere and for any distance with them. But I do like subways …

River
Rainy weather over the river. When the evening comes then all the lights are turned on … must be quite a nice view then.
And indeed, the river view is quite amazing in the evening. A little bit different spot compared to the previous photo, actually from the opposite side of the river.
Me and Xinyue
Dragon
A dragon was circulating the whole temple area. You saw the head of the dragon in one place and then you were able to follow the rest of the dragon to find it’s tail.
Fish in a pond
A little bit rainy day but still very nice. Visiting the old temple in the middle of the city and found this beautiful pond in the middle of the temple and the pond was full of carps.
Busy life in the middle of Shanghai
Immigration in China
Immigration queue in Shanghai. I guess immigration queues are always looking pretty much similar everywhere in the world. This queue actually progressed quite fast and the hall was bright and nice to wait for your turn. And isn’t it nice to see those Chinese characters? It has been almost a year since I was here last time.
In-flight AY57
We are racing against the moon Very nice weather and no turbulence at all.
Finnair A340
After five and half years I am going to board Finnair’s long-haul flight. I have not been flying with them so much on purpose but this time the time schedule and the fare is just perfect for my purposes. This ex-Virgin Atlantic Airbus 340 will take me to Shanghai and is also the first A340 in Finnair’s fleet.
As you can see, the weather is not very nice in Finland currently. It has been raining all day and I hope that the weather gets better when we arrive to Shanghai
