A day out in Shanghai - Chongming Island, and some random water village

On a typically smoggy day in Shanghai we headed out to Chongming island, where there was reportedly a new "original" park. This sign at the front was promising.

Random photos from the park - the last is of a dried riverbed.

Lunch

 Traffic jam in a little water town

Really old school roadside eatery

View from the main bridge. The only touristy attraction in town is the "first teahouse" lined with red lanterns on the right

 How else would you get a TV home in a little water town?

 On a gondola ride

 Random shop

The stinkiest smelly tofu I'd had for a while, I could smell it on the water!
