As part of the epic Shanghai trip last July (oops, has it been that long?), we took a short weekend trip to Hangzhou. Here is a short summary of our trip and perhaps some tips that might help. I found the train times online, and we booked tickets through a little hole in the wall… Continue reading Hangzhou – July 2014
We came back from Shanghai in the middle of July this year, and yes, it’s taken my THIS long to get a post together on our trip! On our previous trip last year, we didn’t really go to any children-specific place. This time I did a little more research, but because we had the luxury… Continue reading Shanghai 2014: Things to do in Shanghai with kids
