Testing the senses in Shanghai to find China's best antitourism and off-beat secrets. Dry and sometimes funny observations from a fixed gear roller, food eater and photograph taker.

Caught a little more sun than I should have at the x-games this afternoon. The vest-tan is coming along nicely.

Heading all the way up to Fudan University we took a route across the river near the docks, through leafy streets and outdoor mahjong arenas to the dilapidated stadium. Detours like that really bring home the size and variety of Shanghai.
