Think Shanghai’s JinJiang Amusement Park is expensive and crappy? Want to be amused with thrill rides and cotton candy? Or rides and games for the kids? The wait for Disneyland to be built taking too long?
About an hour’s journey on Line 9 from downtown Shanghai lies Sheshan Happy Valley Amusement Park (欢乐谷), where you can play the day away.
Just an hour’s drive away, Sun Island in Zhujiajiao Town, Qingpu district, promises a relaxing city getaway while being surrounded by nature. Choose from activities like horse riding, sunbathing and swimming in the wave pool, soaking in the indoor hot spring swimming pool, karting, KTV, and of course, playing golf in the two 18-hole courses.
A friend of mine needed to get office furniture for her spanking new office, so we decided to buy all that she needed at one go from a local second hand furniture store. It saved her a few thousand RMB for great office furniture (some negotiation needed, as usual).
