Rural Shanghai on Metro Line 16 1/32
On only the second small farm we ventured on to we met this farmer doing her chores. When we expressed surprise at the size of her bak choi and enquired about the Chinese names of some other produce, she immediately invited us to lunch ...
Yesterday we took the recently fully opened Metro Line 16 for the first time and discovered a beautiful part of this vast, vast city that is still very much left as Pudong used to be pre-1995.
The silence was deafening (even heard my own footsteps again), the air clean even on a cloudy day, the produce fresh, the people warm and welcoming - even heard cocks crowing, sheep bleating and donkeys braying. A mere 30 minutes from us by subway. We will return.
