China 2013: Day 4

Day 4 of our China trip was our last day at Beijing.  We checked out of the hotel, Holiday Express Inn (which apparently they have a lot of there), quite early.  We said our good byes to Sherry who even gave the kids panda hats, so sweet of her.

We rode the bullet train to Shanghai, which took about 5 hours.  We didn't mind though since it actually had more leg room than an airplane would!  And we got to see the landscapes of part of China as well.  Their train station looked like an airport too.

We arrived at Shanghai around lunch time.  Our first stop was a short cruise.  Timing was good since we got a glimpse of the sunset.  When we reached the Oriental Pearl Tower which looked like a rocket about to launch, it was evening already.  All the lights were lit up and from above it was really cool, especially in the part were they had glass or crystal flooring.
