Grapevine in summer
We had had a hard time taking good care of our plants in the yard, but things have changed after the professional gardener Mr. Wu joined us several years ago. :) Now we have different views in different seasons.
Summer here is long from June to September. With high temperature and abundant rainfall, the city can be very sweltering at this time. However, we city kids still feel very excited about the early summer time! The grapevine climbing on the rooftop will produce bunches of grapes. Though these grapes are too sour to eat, our chef Weili will use them to make wine. So one of the advantage to visit us in Summer is that you might be lucky enough to be treated a glass of house-made vintage. :D

Dry-cured fish hanged along the street
How do you know the Chinese New Year is coming in Shanghai? Seeing various kinds of dry-cured meat hanged on bamboo rods along the streets! In the past time, meat was so precious that it would be cured for storage and not easily be indulged in until the Chinese New Year celebrations. It might be a little terrified while walking by these ducks, fishes, sausage, and pork, but it is a very typical scene of Chinese New Year in Shanghai that you would like to take pictures of. :)

It's the Bund drawn by one of us, Po.

After breakfast time, our first-floor area becomes a private kitchen "808". During weekdays, 808 serves good Taiwanese lunch for office workers nearby. It is also a nice choice for our B&B guests who want to experience Chinese and Taiwanese food.
Read MoreWhile traveling in Shanghai, you may get some souvenirs at antique markets around Yuyuan Garden (豫园), Tianzifang (田子坊), fabric market (南外滩轻纺面料市场), and etc.
However, if you still cannot find anything interested or find out that you need more souvenirs for more friends in the last minute, stop by our breakfast area and do little shopping. :)
Currently we have got exclusive post cards photographed by our owner, chopsticks with Chinese satin bags, and key rings in Chinese QiPao. Any other good souvenir idea is always welcomed!
