We visited Shanghai downtown on  Double Ninth Festival. 

Double Ninth, which falls on the ninth day of September in lunar calendar every year, is a festival celebrated by Chinese people only, specially for elderly people. My husband and I had planned our Wednesday's outing and we didn't realize it was a specially day until we noticed so many aged fellows on the street. 

Omega billboard is the first thing to catch your eyes

the all year round busy Nanjing Road

seems as if we were to a mysterious world 

how lovely!

the trolleys are for shooting  

chocolate 

I love the wooden sculptures 

so sweet

ethnic restaurant and the ethnic performance 

setting --- old Shanghai

I was attracted to this plaza by the pictures in the advertisement, but when I came to the scene I felt rather disappointed. To be honest, it is only a simple stage put beside a restaurant.  The photo will be much better if I were taller.

hum, how can I describe it? roughly this dish  can be classified as Sichuan flavored. Of course it's delicious, so many people choose to have lunch here.

After lunch, we continue window shopping.

I love it but ......

SISYPHE is a place where I would like to stay all day long.

what are they looking for?

A retired gentle man showed me an album of steals he collected from different organizations. Behind each seal is a story. Suddenly I realized there are so many ways we can record but the world is too big for a single person to discover. 

Crystal seals

We can always meet and record, that's why so many people love photography.
