Beautiful as Suzhou and Hangzhou was, our time in China was limited. So even though I felt like we didn't spend enough time in those two cities we still had things to see and do in Shanghai. On New Year's Eve 2018 we arrived in Shanghai Railway Station and we were ready to brace ourselves from the crowd.
We quickly checked into our hotel and headed out... From a distance we could see the Shanghai Skyline all lit up to greet the new year.
On Fuzhou Street, we passed a bakery that was handing out samples outside their door and it tasted really good! We bought a couple of bread to take with us.
As soon as we hit Nanjing East Street we joined the mob walking towards the Bund area. At each intersection they had the army working not only to guard but actually to direct traffic. That was a very cool sight!
We walked a few blocks down Nanjing Street but the sheer number of people walking there was getting uncomfortable. We decided to take one of the side streets and sometimes through the buildings.
One of the side street was actually a great spot for pictures with the Pearl Tower.
We finally arrived at the Bund... It was very crowded so we decided not to cross the road to go to the platform. We took some pictures and then walked back to find dinner.

We stopped at a restaurant that looked interesting on the way back to the hotel. Truthfully I was eyeing that restaurant when we passed it on the way to the Bund. It was a nice restaurant but the staff barely spoke English. Luckily there was a lady on the table next to ours who was kind and helped us. It was near closing time and a lot of the dishes we ordered were already sold out. We ate whatever was available and most of them were very good!
Sorry, the food pictures didn't turn out very well so you will have to take my word that they were yummy. :D
