XIAOTAOYUAN MOSQUE
Its Friday and thought that I could grab a bite of Yangrou Chuan (Lamb Kebab), so looked for Lamb Kebab seller in front of the mosque but not so lucky since today was his day-off.
I am not presenting the things written below as my own. They were written by someone else which I source from blog site in the internet. They are accessible by everyone and I would like to share them with readers.
I surfed the net and found on other website, mymiee.blogspot.my wrote,

"Antara yang paling saya nak cari di sini ialah sate kambing seperti yang di ceritakan oleh blogger Nota Kembara. Gerai ini hanya ada pada hari Jumaat sahaja dan kami dah set untuk ke sini pada hari tersebut. Memang tak sia-sia kami ke sini. Cuma sate yang dijual agak terhad dan ramai yang menunggu. Kami cuma dapat 10 cucuk sahaja. Rasanya memang sangat sedap. Daging kambingnya pun lembut dan aromanya sukar digambarkan. Tak perlu kuah macam sate di tempat kita."

mymiee.blogspot.my described the above, how he was enjoying a succulent bit of the grilled meats-on-sticks, that was referring to Kebab (or in this case, Sate, which this cuisine is called in Malaysia), originally Arab originated dishes.

We ordered two plates of "niu rou chao fan" (beef fried rice). We were so hungry that we emptied our plates and once that over, we started walking along Henan South Road towards Shanghai Old Street.
SHANGHAI OLD STREET
Locally known as Shanghai Lao Jie 上海老街.

There was a lot of tourists here even though today was not weekend.
Almost all of the buildings in this area have Chinese architectural concepts.
For those who are visiting Shanghai, if you are looking for a souvenir then here is the place. Elsewhere there are not so many choices.
The Yuyuan Garden area is the best place to get souvenirs in Shanghai. We patrolled this area for the second round should there be anything we missed out from our viewing.
NINE-TURN BRIDGE
A pond at Yuyuan Bazaar Area, an old fashioned zig-zag bridge goes across it. This bridge is a favorite spot for tourists to take photos, among the most photographed in Shanghai. It is known locally as Jiuqu qiao.
The zig-zag bridge will bring you across to Yuyuan Garden entrance area. You can walk across this bridge. If the bridge was too crowded use the walking path on the left which will go around the side of the pond.

Locally known as Yuyuan.
Most people say that if you have never been to Yu Garden, it means that you have never been to Shanghai.

The construction of Yu yuan Garden took place in 1577 by the initiative of Pan Yunduan, a government officer during the rule of Ming Dynasty.
Yu in Chinese means pleasing and satisfying, and this garden was specially built for Pan’s parents as a place for them to enjoy a tranquil and happy time in their old age.
A peaceful, relaxing place, see an old-aged garden with very antique buildings located in the southeast of Shanghai, with a history of more than 400 years. The Garden features more than 30 halls and pavilions such as Spring Hall, Chamber for Gathering the Rain and Pavilion for viewing Frolicking Fish. Visitors could appreciate the view of pools filled with multicolored carp and lotus, artificial but climbable mountains, a Grand Rockery, dragon-shaped walls and winding corridors.

From Nanjing East Road Subway Station use Exit 7. Then we waited at Bus Stop Nánjīng Dōnglù Jiāngxī Zhōnglù Zhàn.
We aboard →Bus 37 and got off at the next stop, that is Zhōng Shāndōng Yīlù Nánjīng Dōnglù Zhàn (In English it says, Zhongshan East 1st Road). We have arrived at The Bund.

The phrase "sick man of Asia" or "sick man of East Asia" originally referred to China in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the countries of great military powers of that time had taken China by force. This was portrayed by various designs of Western Culture Buildings on the Bund area on west side of Huangpu River Bank. The most famous and attractive sight which are the 26 various buildings of different styles including Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism and European Renaissance architectural design of buildings around the Bund (Waitan).
The most iconic would be the formerly HSBC Building and the People's Government of the Municipality of Shanghai Building that was built in the style of neo-classicism architectural design. This building is now occupied (resided) by Shanghai Pudong Development Bank.
We took a stroll along Huangpu Riverbank, that part of area here known as The Bund.

The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel provides a memorable experience of the special multimedia lighting effects. The sightseeing maglev train coaches are completely transparent giving 360 degree view.
It goes underneath the Huangpu River connecting the Bund and Lujiazui Area of Pudong District.
We got in the tunnel ride at the station in front of American International Assurance Co.,Ltd. Shanghai Branch just across Zhongshan East 1st Road, Huangpu. This underground tunnel coach brought us to the other side of Huangpu river.
We arrived at the other end of Waitan Sightseeing Tunnel Station on Fenghe Road, Pudong. We walked to Shanghai Pearl Tower that was just nearby.

We took photos outside the tower. We didn't go in because it was late and we arrived in Shanghai just this morning and definitely very tired. We need to have a rest since tomorrow's journey to Nanjing will be about 295 km travel distance by High Speed "Type G" Bullet Train.
Got on Subway Line 2 at LujiaZui Station. Entered the Subway Entrance 1. Chéngzuò dìtiě èr hào xiàn dào lùjiāzuǐ zhàn xià chē. 1 Hào kǒu chū zhàn jí shì dōngfāngmíngzhū dā.
Got back to hotel. Packed our bags to get ready for tomorrow's day trip to Nanjing. We felt very excited. We have been to Beijing (the North Capital) before and now we are going to Nanjing (the South Capital).
