3 Days in Shanghai

Three slow days in Shanghai: a quiet museum, tea with friends, sushi, rooftop city lights, and a walk under the plane trees. We start at the Power Station of Art, where an old power plant has become a place for exhibitions and reading by the river. Then it is off to Xintiandi for afternoon tea, a little shopping and sushi, before meeting friends near Yuyuan. On the final day, we follow the shade through Shanghai’s leafy streets, stop for a local lunch and an iced latte, and head across town to Changning.
