Day 11 – Xi’an back to Shanghai

View From Our Room
Today was pretty much just a day spent in transit. We had originally tried to book the bullet train for this leg but when all the train tickets sold out we booked a flight on China Eastern Airlines. Taxi ride to the airport and then an uneventful 2-hour flight to Shanghai. It was cool and rainy when we left this morning but back to being warm but overcast in Shanghai. A 45-minute cab ride to our new hotel which sound like it would be really expensive but it cost less than $15. Cabs in China are ridiculously inexpensive.

Where We Ate
One nice thing is that our hotel, the InterContinental Hotels Shanghai Expo, gave us an upgraded room with a great view of the Haungpu River. We don’t like to eat in hotels so we walked around the neighborhood and found a local restaurant. Lots of families and loud talking, but the food was good but not great. The best was a cauliflower and pork dish in a soy sauce that was a bit spicy. I'm going to have to try to make that when I get home. Four courses and drinks for under $15.
