Ancient Shanghai Water Village


Our second day in Shanghai we had another tour booked to see an ancient water village and go on a boat down the river to see the water village. I won't lie it was a little scary on the boat. They weren't the best drivers for the tour. We almost crashed a few times but the experience was fun and make for a good story and video. Yes I caught our almost boat accident on video, well one of them. But it was very pretty and also pretty dirty, I mean really dirty. But we did have tons of fun on the tour.


Behind me is I believe a 500 year old bridge. We got to get off and walk across and the steps were almost nonexistent. Walking through the narrow side streets with the street vendors and the food, fabrics, and merchandise really made me feel like I was in a movie. You they always show those kind of dirty busy side streets with all the street vendors. That's exactly what we were walking down and I wont lie it wasn't my favorite experience but I am happy to say that we did it.


While in the ancient water village we got to go to an ancient Chinese garden. It was HUGE and it use to belong to one family. The tour guide said it use to be bigger with more plants and vegetables which I cant believe one family owned. It also made me think of the back garden in Mulan because they had all the flowers and a little mini temple at the top of a little hill where they would pray. I just wanted sing reflection walking around there.

Shanghai Disney

One of the really unique things they have at Shanghai Disney is the Alice in Wonderland maze. The big attraction is the big queen of hearts head in her part of the garden. It's a really simple and fun attraction to do in the park. It is located behind the castle in their Fantasy Land. Obviously, the big talk of Shanghai Disney is their Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Let me tell you I could just ride it all day long. It is honestly mind blowing and I have never experienced a ride like it before. I was lucky enough to ride it twice in the same day as well as the Tron Lightcycle Coaster. However I do prefer the pirates ride over the tron. ride.  The castle is so huge and beautiful and I had to put a picture of me in front of it. Now below is the video of my day there minus the Royal Banquet Hall which I will do a separate post on. I just would like to warn some travelers about some of the things I noticed there. Shanghai Disney people do not really under stand line...
