The summer vacation has arrived, and my parents have decided to take us to Shanghai. We boarded the high-speed train, and I soon felt sleepy, so I took a nap. I was amazed at the beauty of Shanghai when we arrived at the station. My family and I had encountered a splendid city.

The first thing we did was go see the young deer. They were lying comfortably under the blue sky and were adorable to watch. We also visited the World Expo Park and enjoyed hairy crab roe noodles and sheng jian bao pan-fried pork buns. The bottoms of the sheng jian bao were crispy and made a crunchy sound as we ate. A bear cub on Anfu Road was also cute.

Nighttime Shanghai is bustling and appealing. Walking through Lujiazui imparts a feel for the towering presence of the skyscrapers, and strolling along the Bund imparts a feel for a curious blend of history and modernity. The Oriental Pearl Tower towers into the clouds and joins the other skyscrapers in forming a spectacular urban skyline.
