MS Tech-Ed China was hold in Sheshan La Meridien hotel in the end of this week. This year(Tech-Ed 2004) I don’t have session, so brought mountain bicycle to there because Sheshan is the only Shanghai’s so-called ‘hill’ highland with a 400 years old church atop. looks like a castle. Other famous points over there are Shanghai Astronomical Observatory and most expensive villa garden in China. The most high-priced one was at 15M USD.
Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, the photos I took with a Panasonia pocket DC. Most of them are over-contrasted.
Hooo see the luxury villa garden. To afford one, I might have to work & live 50 times.Also look at the below, a old female begger was sit on steps in front of the church. Does she know there is the most expensive houses in front sight?
Even Sheshan was called ‘She hill’, but not so high. Cyciling to the top is easy from West Gate. Toll fee is 30 RMB, badly too much. In raining day the descent down the hill is small danger, speed could rise over 30kmh easily. I used narrow road tyre instead of broad mountain tyre yesterday, therefore had to grasp brake all the time.
Actually the hill has a regular name - Sheshan National Forest Park. Sounds good. Green bamboo & unkown flowers at sides of byway in sunset light. Beautiful scene made me feel country smell.
Another known hill nearby is Tianma Shan. Former Shanghai Racing autodrome was there. By the way, I also ride to there and was afriad of byre brust in most time because lots of edgy gravel & glass straggled on The contry lane.Finally I got in a small picturesque village. Typical view of south of Yangze River, pinnock, creek & farmhouse, fresh air as well.
