The last days
On the Bund, early in the morning, the spectacle of Chinese (the most old ones) practicing the tai-chi is of a striking beauty. A spectator tells us the tai-chi consists in connecting one’s breath to the breath of the Universe and takes care of the body via the spirit. The connected movements aim at a control of energy in oneself.
In Shanghai we taste the best raviolis whose varieties are numerous. Fried noodles and steamed rolls are my favorites too. The prices are unmeaning, that’s why the popular restaurants are always crowded.
Our last day fly away floating on the Huangpu River to the mouth of Yangtze River. We paid the excursion six yuan. The travel agency required twenty of them!
The sun is shining above Shanghai like everywhere we have been except a rainy day in Xian and another one in Chongqing. Leaving the port, from the upper deck we discover a remarkable view of the Bund. The port being one of the largest in the world, impressive are the images of transoceanic ships, giant cranes, forklifts etc. On the junction with the Yangtze River I have the opportunity to say an ultimate adieu…..
In the evening we take the train to Peking.
