November 15 – 18, 2025
Following our day trip to Beijing, my Dad headed off to Japan while Brian and I stayed in Shanghai for an extra day and a half to explore the city. We spent much of our day getting fitted for custom suits and some other clothes – definitely a highlight! Then we got to explore the Bund all lit up at night.
Breakfast with a view of the city:
After a few hours picking out suit styles/fabrics and getting measured we were all wrapped up with Linda! She was a blast to work with and we are looking forward to seeing how everything comes out!
Exploring the Bund at night:
A view of the skyscrapers across the river:
A local place for bao buns:
Walked around the park areas near the hotel in the morning before heading to the airport. There is a massive Louis Vuitton ‘pop-up’ shop of a huge ship called ‘The Louis.’
I had to give luckin coffee a try – a brand that recently outgrew Starbucks in China. Struggled a bit with Alipay, but the coffee was great!
Off to the airport to meet back up with my Dad in Japan!
