Not An Airport Terminal, This is Shanghai South Railway Station 上海南站
I thoroughly enjoyed Shanghai, it was a modern and yet, surprisingly very traditional city at the same time. You could be looking over the city from one of the tallest buildings in the world and the next thing you know you would be walking along some old Chinese town that is still called Shanghai. Shanghai is a land of contrasts, and this is probably what makes it so interesting. It feel like it is some sort of “Chinese” Hong Kong, if you know what I mean. It can be very “Chinese” and yet it can also be very Western. Little wonder why thousands of foreign businesses call Shanghai their home. For me, this is the best introduction to China any newbie can ever have.

It was time to leave, I checked out of the Shanghai Captain International Hostel and walked to the Nanjing Road East station. I was going to the train station for my final stop for this trip. Fortunately, navigating the subway network of Shanghai was a breeze and the train station was connected to it. The Shanghai South Railway Station 上海南站 is on line one which meant I needed to transfer at Peoples’ Square. It would take me some time to memorize the lines by line number, I guess I just have to go by color. I didn’t spend as much time in Shanghai as I did in Beijing though so there was no time to get accustomed to it. I will miss Shanghai, I certainly won’t mind coming back here.
