Skyhigh in Shanghai

The weather has been hotting up over the last few days and on Monday we got a really clear day and decided to head up to the top of the Shanghai World Financial Tower for breathtaking views of Shanghai.  We took two lifts to get up to floor 100 which is 1,614.2  feet high. 

We then decended to floor 97 to use the highest toilet we've ever been to!  They were pretty spectacular toilets with heated seats and a variety of ways in which to wash your bottom!

Sam met us for lunch in Din Tai Feng which is famous for its dumplings.  We followed the instructions on how to make the most of your dumpling and all tucked in.  Dumplings are a particular favourite with Oliver and William.

The afternoon was speant walking along the Bund admiring the view over the river and with a quick visit to look at the spectacular Peace Hotel - Shanghai's oldest hotel restored to its 1930s glory.  We also marvelled at the window cleaners on some of the skyscrapers who didn't have platforms but just abseilled down!

The rest of the week has been been filled with swimming, art, music and gym classes, a picnic and of course another visit to the fakes and fabric market. 

Sam now has a week off and we are looking forward to spending some time together sightseeing.
