For the first day, we arrived at the airport at 
Had dinner after that on a floating restaurant before returning to hotel. Found out that a bottle of beer there is half the price of a bottle of pepsi, and the drivers there (called shi fu, coz they feel that those guys there must have skills and techniques in order to drive well) don't give a damn about pedestrians.
Went sight seeing and visited the bridges and ancient gardens the following days. Visited 三国城 and realised that 唐城 in 
Visited the silk factory on the 3rd day. Tour guides are really good at talking; managed to convince my parents to spend a bomb on silk blankets and pillows. You can practically tell where we are going by just hearing what product they promote on the bus.
Visited 长江 and found out that the bridge built across was funded(still is) completely by the commoners and hence, there is no toll needed to cross it. Therefore, they encourage us to buy the crystal art created by some local master, claiming that all profits will go to the maintainance of the bridge, which is in pretty bad condition.
Crystal ball art... Pretty? Had to be painted inversely in its interior to appear so.
I seriously doubt their words. The price tag on the table read 400 RMB. However, the price tag attached to the base of these are 640 RMB. After my mum showed some interest in one of those, and felt that it is too expensive for her liking, the salesgirl told us that she will go ask her boss, and returned 5 minutes later, saying that she will make a special discount for us and sell it at 400 RMB. -_- Didn't buy it in the end as we felt that we have too many ornaments in our house already.
Visited a workshop manufacturing 紫砂壶. Parents bought a teapot that can float on its base, and which lid is airtight. Got it for S$50+. Turns out that not all stuff made in
Also visited a pearl workshop and a place in
Visited the Shanghai tower the 2nd last night. Supposed to be 400 metres+ tall. Imagine the lift breaking down when you are at the top.
Final evening and final morning was spent browsing the shops. Got some good bargains, and got quite a bit of souvenirs. The Carrefour there sells original DVDs at S$4+ and original CDs at $3+. Bought like 10+ movies there. Who cares if it is in Chinese, I can understand it pretty well =P
Well, in short, I enjoyed myself there. Drank beer (muahahaha) for all non-breakfast meals and even tried out “Burn Heart Wine”(directly translated) which is like around 35% alcohol. In
