Wednesday afternoon in Shanghai
After our delicious meal we were then whisked away to People's Square (Renmin Gongyuan Square). This was for our visit to the Shanghai Museum which is the city's and China's finest gallery of traditional treasures. Here we saw many interesting artefacts dating back to the bronze age and up to the 20th century. The visit was enhanced by the audio machines we were loaned with english commentary of all that we saw. A veritable feast for everyone's eyes.
Thomas and Alex get to grips with the audio machines

Ceramics Gallery (Ms Cooper's favourite)
