Our second day in Shanghai, China and it did not disappoint. There is so much to go and see and we get straight stuck into the Marriage Market at the People's Park and what an interesting morning, but there was much more to see so we hop on the Metro and make a trip to the Old Shanghai Street, a famous Temple and finally check out the Financial District and see the Oriental Pearl Tower up close and personal.
