We arrived in Shanghai on 5 Aug at 8am. 30c heat and sticky. Straight to the Grand Huyatt for a last bit of luxury at the Oasis club where we spent few hrs: swimming,and having a bone-crushing oriental massage. After a quick shower and a fine Shanghainese meal on the 86tth floor of the hotel where we had uninterrupted views of the seas of skyscrapers as far as the eye could go, We then rushed to HongJiao airport where domestic flights take off. That's when it started hitting us - although vast and efficient, there were thousands of Chinese milling around and maybe a handful of gweilos..
China Eastern flight to Jining - Shadong province, took 1.30min. As we were flying over the airport of Jining, all around there were vast agricultural areas all covered in cloud - I hoped from rain/humidity rather than pollution!
