Old Shanghai

An hour-long ride on doubledecker bus#911 took me from my neighborhood to Fuyuan Garden in the old "Chinese City" portion of Shanghai. This is what remains of the old walled city and while highrise apartments are going up all around it, Fuyuan survives. I found a very good vegetarian restaurant there today and brought a bag of vegetable dumplings (caibao) home for dinner. I didn't buy any today, but Fuyuan is full of real and fake antiques, Mao posters, and trinkets of all variety.
