Thrilling rides at Shanghai Disneyland! 🎢

We plunged into the heart of the action with some truly exhilarating rides!

* TRON Lightcycle Power Run: This launched roller coaster is a massive thrill! Speeding through the dark, neon-lit “Grid” on those motorbike-style vehicles is an absolutely exhilarating experience, especially when you hit those high speeds in the dark areas. It reaches speeds of up to 95 km/h (about 59 mph)!

* Toy Story Golden Loop (Rex’s Racer): This U-shaped coaster definitely gave us those familiar thrills, much like the one you might find at Gold Reef City in South Africa! It’s a high-speed dash back and forth that gets your heart racing.

* Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure: This ride is truly next-level! It’s not just a boat ride; it features incredible 4D technologies with shaking, splashes of water, and seamless transitions between physical sets and massive, immersive screens. You genuinely feel like you’re part of the scene with animatronic characters moving and talking right before your eyes.

* Zootopia: Hot Pursuit: Get ready for a wild police chase! This trackless dark ride, based on the Zootopia film, puts you in Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde’s cruisers as you slide across ice, prowl city streets, and weave through the Rainforest District in pursuit of Bellwether. It’s a fast-paced, immersive adventure with sudden turns and stops, making you feel right in the middle of the action!

Definitely something for every kind of thrill-seeker at Shanghai Disneyland!

Mickey’s Storybook Express is the fun daytime parade at Shanghai Disneyland that brings beloved Disney stories to life!

🤩 People were already sitting along the parade route a good 30 minutes (if not more!) before it even started, all to nab the best spots! And when the show began? The atmosphere was electric! From the littlest kids to the older aunties and uncles, everyone was absolutely loving it, singing along and waving like crazy to all the Disney characters. You can hear them call out characters names in some of the videos.
You can just see how much they adore them here! The energy was infectious.

Stepping into Yuyuan Garden Shopping Mall was like entering another world! 🏮 The architecture is absolutely fascinating, so traditional and beautiful. The food stalls had all kinds of exotic foods and snacks(didn’t have the guts to try anything 😅). Even with the crowds of people milling about, there was such a vibrant energy. We wandered through countless shops, finding all sorts of interesting things. Be prepared to do a fair bit of walking, but trust me, getting lost in the sights and sounds of this place while browsing the shops is totally worth it! Definitely a must-see in Shanghai.

Shanghai by night - Proper lit! ✨
This city just comes alive when the sun goes down. Managed to get some random night shots of all the lights everywhere, different colours, and people out and about, buzzing with energy. It’s just so vibrant. Seriously, if you’re ever here, you gotta see it when it’s dark. Pure magic!

A day in Shanghai! 🇨🇳 Kicked things off soaring high above the city in the incredible Oriental Pearl Tower, getting a glimpse of Shanghai city from all angles as well as its futuristic vision. Then, a scenic ferry ride whisked us across the river to the lively Puxi side. Soaking in the iconic Bund, wandering through endless shops. As usual, we had people asking to take pictures with us as we were the only black people around! Watched as the city transformed with its dazzling night lights, and capped it all off with a truly sensational Chinese dinner – hands down one of the best I’ve ever had! Shanghai’s blend of modern marvels and vibrant culture is simply captivating.

Stepping into the “Venice of the East”! 🇨🇳 Our China tour took us to the breathtaking city of Suzhou, and what a day it was!

From the moment we arrived via a swift high-speed train from Shanghai – zooming along at over 250 km/h and sometimes up to 350 km/h! – our journey into Suzhou’s charm began. We enjoyed a leisurely walk through areas showcasing its beautiful old traditional architecture, absorbing the historical ambiance. The energy on the streets was amazing too – so many local content creators capturing the beauty, adding to the incredible buzz!

Our first stop was the tranquil Bao’an Temple. From there, we strolled along the famous Pingjiang Road, soaking in its ancient charm as we made our way to the truly beautiful Humble Administrator’s Garden. We then continued to explore, seeing other iconic sights like the impressive Panmen Gate.

And of course, our delicious local Chinese meal was a fantastic way to connect with the culture!

It was wonderful to see so many stylish young people dressed in stunning traditional Chinese regalia, capturing photos and live-streaming to their followers amidst the picturesque canals and ancient architecture. Their enthusiasm for sharing their culture was contagious! And throughout the day, we were genuinely touched by the warmth and curiosity of the local people, especially the friendly smiles and intrigue we experienced as Black tourists exploring their beautiful city.

The combination of Suzhou’s rich history, stunning old-world beauty, and the truly kind interactions, made this day absolutely unforgettable. ❤️

🇨🇳Our China tour started off in Hangzhou which is the Capital of China’s Zhejiang province. Here we visited the famous West Lake, Lingyin Temple and the Meijawu Tea culture village. We met a group of students from a rural village and they asked to take pics with us (if you are a very self conscious person then China may not be for you). We also got to experience the temple traditions at Lingyin temple and some of us even took part in the rituals.
My personal favourite was the dinner we had at a traditional Chinese restaurant. I got a new appreciation for Chinese food that day. All in all this was a great touring day where we got to learn more about China and interacted a lot with the locals. We were proper tourists 😅
