JinMao Tower


Today I send some books back home that I accumulated over time. Now I should have some more space for some last souvenirs. I asked at the hostel about good massage places and went to one nearby that they recommended. I got an hour long full body massage plus traditional Chinese fire cupping. The massage was nice, although painful at times. But the fire cupping really killed me. I got circular bruise marks all over my back now, but apparently this is normal. I look like a leopard now! The cupping is supposed to increase blood flow but it feels like I have been beaten with a stick. They say it takes a day to a week for the marks to disappear. I just hope that it won't hurt when I have to carry my backpack tomorrow...
In the afternoon I went to the JinMao tower in Pudong. It's the world's 5th tallest building and right next to Shanghai's famous TV tower. The view was quite nice and almost made me dizzy.
