On a Sunday afternoon, the sunshine was beautiful and the weather outside was neither too cold nor too hot. I originally planned to take a walk at Tongji University,
but worried that if I walked that far, the sunlight would soon fade, so I got off early at South Shaanxi Road.
Exiting from behind iAPM, along Xiangyang Road, Fuxing Road, Fenyang Road, Taiyuan Road, and Yongjia Road,
sunlight filtered through the leaves almost all the way, casting dappled shadows on the pavement.

As I strolled along, I came across this Voce Cafe, located next to Yongjia Court. From the outside, the shop looks small,
but there’s actually a courtyard in the back and another floor upstairs~~~
There was no sunlight in the courtyard, and none on the second floor either, but it has sofas, making it much more comfortable~~
The carrot cake is highly recommended and tastes great; the tiramisu was rather average.

Then I continued walking. I had intended to visit Tianzifang, but one glance inside from the entrance was enough to scare me off—
it was truly packed with people. The Sun Moon Light Center was also extremely crowded. Seeing that it was still early, I walked down Ruijin Road.
I passed by InterContinental Shanghai Ruijin and went in for a stroll. The lawn is huge, perfect for outdoor weddings.
Only two buildings are currently open at Ruijin: the Main Building and the VIP Building (Executive Floor). I’ll come back to experience it in a month…~~
The place is massive with a wonderful environment. I took two night shots:

After leaving, I continued walking to the nearby Sinan Mansions to find some food. Sinan Mansions was already fully decked out in Halloween atmosphere,
complete with a haunted house~~~~

For dinner, we had the famous Shanghai Slim’s. The food was really good.
Starting with the pre-meal bread, I was quite satisfied with the flavors. The mushroom soup was rich and creamy.
Although the lobster portion in the appetizer was pitifully small, it was delicious…
A 20oz T-bone steak, paired with a pile of fries, was more than enough for two people…
The ambiance was also great, not too crowded, just a bit pricey~~~~
