Jasmine Tea

Serving Tea in Chainese way

There are many teahouses in Yu-Yuan area, and they serve many kinds of Chinese tea. Also they sell tea. I went to one of these tea houses called "Chun Feng De Yi Lou Cha Guan"(春風得意楼茶館). In front of the shop, they show us how to heat tea leaves, it is same to the Japanese way.

How small the cup is!!!! And the interesting thing is that much hot water is used to keep heat and flavor of tea. They don't drink first water they put in the pot. This is the chainese way.. but I cannot do it at my house. because if I do it, my house will be wet everywhere!

Yu-Yuan


One of the most famous park in Shanghai. It is in a chinese style buildings area, very touristic area too, and those buildings have many shoppes. That´s why it is a good view and you can enjoy walking around. You can find many traditional things(made from wood, stone, paper, you cannot imagine it!), foods and goods. I was almost lost in the street because it is a enough big area, many streets cross each other, and all building have same style! I couldn´t see all of it. too much to see!
