Today we went to the yu yuan gardens in the centre of shanghai which were built in 1559-1577 and they were sooooo pretty. We had lunch there in a place called "the designated tourist restaurant" and had xiaolongbao which are a kind of bun filled wth pork and they are a shanghai speciality - very nice! When we went to the garden they had a special exhibition on with ornaments from the forbidden city, some of the jade and gold ones were amaaaaaazing.
Afterwards we walked round some of the streets in the old part of the city, and on one street there were people selling loads fish, and they just had plastic trays full of live fish and crabs, but they also had nets full of live bull frog and terrapins that people were buying for their tea, yummy!
