In Nanhui

By:  April 28, 2024 Categories: 

Today in Nanhui (南汇), a town in the far southeast of Shanghai.

The outline of the old city center (and streets named after gates) still exists on the map, but we could find no sign of old city walls anymore.

We did come across a great park though, 古钟园 (Age-old Bell Garden).

And this is why it’s called ‘Age-old Bell Park Garden’ (I guess).

 

One shushu is angry, not sure why, and is yelling at others. Two ayis in the back say “Let’s go” and start to play and sing — and with music, peace arrives. (Eva is joining in.)

We did go to the Pudong History Museum (浦东历史博物馆). It does a good job of showing Pudong isn’t just ‘the other side of the river’, showing Pudong’s long history with towns and sea dikes. Free entrance (but not a lot of signs in English).

And […]

In eight years of living in China, taxi drivers or older colleagues loved to ask, “Which is better, the Netherlands or China?”, hoping for a single insightful answer that would explain everything. And now, back as a resident in the Netherlands, people ask the mirrored version: do I miss living in China? Neither question is […]

Goodbye to Guanyin

It’s a Saturday morning, and we’re in a taxi on the way to the airport. My clothes cling to my body and already reek of sweat, and that’s even before our 12-hour flight has started. Today I woke up at 5:30 to get up early and throw away the last furniture and items we used […]
