Quibao Seven Hidden Treasures

Today I took a tour of an area of Shanghai called Quibao, or Seven Hidden Treasures.  To be honest, I can't tell you what those treasures are.  Surely they don't include the cricket museum.  An area used to display all there is to know about cricket fighting.  Yes, you heard me right.  Just like dog or cock fighting, they have cricket fighting here in China.  It couldn't possibly include the miniatures museum or the pawn shop.  But this is mostly what the tour consisted of.  Which is exactly why me and the two friends I was with split from the group only half way through the tour.  And it's disappointing really.  My friend Sue and I had taken a tour before in another area of town and were really pleased.  So this was a bit of a let down. 

However, I was able to take some nice pictures of old town Shanghai...the way things used to be.  This is a "water town", which only means that there is a canal running through it and the locals use it for their daily living.
