			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Today I visited Mount Taishan world geopark of China:

Mount Taishan World Geopark is composed of eight geoheritage scenic areas

I took the Gondola up to the top of the mountain and decided against 2 hour climb via steps.

At the top of the Mt they had a temple and vendors. The vendors sold things like cucumbers, flat bread, and eggs. I did find a jar of snake wine but no one was drinking it. I guess you could order if if you wanted to.

Wow, today was really something special. Tons of amazing things happened but here are the highlights: We went on a two hour road trip to eat fresh crab. After we got back to Shanghai I had some coffee at a place overlooking the Bund. (sorta looks like Vegas).

The main dish for lunch:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Today I got a taste of just how wonderful Shanghai can be!

The first thing I did today is go to the old area of the city and do some shopping in the antique section. There were tons of cool stuff and the prices were shockingly low. After the shopping I had some quick snacks.

<img border="0" src="http://www.rowejason.com/uploaded_images/shanghai/11_11_2006/snacks.JPG" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px; cursor: hand" />

Then I went to Yuyean Garden.

<a href="http://www.rowejason.com/uploaded_images/shanghai/11_11_2006/view_in_park.JPG"><img border="0" src="http://www.rowejason.com/uploaded_images/shanghai/11_11_2006/view_in_park.JPG" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px; cursor: hand" /></a>

<a href="http://www.rowejason.com/uploaded_images/shanghai/11_11_2006/dragon.JPG"><img border="0" src="http://www.rowejason.com/uploaded_images/shanghai/11_11_2006/dragon.JPG" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px; cursor: hand" /></a>

The highlight of the large lunch I had was the dumplings. These are the most popular ones in Shanghai and everone I talked to said the best in China. They have fish eggs inside and when you bite them soup comes out of the thin wrap.

<a href="http://www.rowejason.com/uploaded_images/shanghai/11_11_2006/lunch.JPG"><img border="0" src="http://www.rowejason.com/uploaded_images/shanghai/11_11_2006/lunch.JPG" style="width: 320px; cursor: hand" /></a>

After lunch I bought some more gifts and an amazing oil paintings. Lucky I was with some locals and they got me 80% of the first quoted price. We even did the whole walk away thing and they ran us down to close the deal. It was fun to see how this crazy system works. Then off to dinner I went for an all you can eat sushi place. Oh, and the saki was all you can drink too!

Here is a picture from the place I am staying.

It&#8217;s pretty crazy getting around due to the traffic. The bikers and the cars fight for space in the over crowded streets.
