There are only a few options for crossing the river at the Bund. You can take a water taxi, the Bund sightseeing tunnel (for too much money) or metro line 2. We opted for the metro as we had day passes that were significantly cheaper than the sightseeing tunnel. That meant to return to our hotel, we visited Nanjing road at night. Much like the buildings along the river, Nanjing road was lit up with all sorts of multi-colored lights, and it had cooled off making it a slightly more enjoyable walk. The crowds and late hour deterred us from walking around more, but as the central street of downtown, it was worth the few minutes we spent enjoying it.

After a long day of walking, lines and crowds, Austin and I limped back to our hotel room. We discovered that me in my pregnant state and we both in our older state with a toddler could not do as much trekking around and sightseeing that we had pulled off in the past. Our feet and backs ached and we both just wanted to collapse. The view from our room on the 68th floor of the Grand Hyatt Shanghai perked us up, though, long enough to snap some photos and enjoy the view of the Oriental Pearl all lit up against the Shanghai skyline.
