One Afternoon at Lujiazui Coffee Festival

This is a new blog, which means it is about something that has just happened. Yesterday I went to the Lujiazui Coffee Festival. The area was teeming with crowds of people. Lujiazui Coffee Festival ( 31.24,121.50 ) A coffee artisan from the mainland is dressed like an ancient Chinese swordsman. However, the coffee packaging features illustrations of Western movie characters, such as Captain Jack Sparrow. Coffee Artist ( 31.24,121.51 ) Another coffee vendor, interacting with someone on-site—whether a guest or an audience member was unclear—demonstrated their latte art skills, creating a design likely only seen during the Mid-Autumn Festival: two little rabbits, one male, and one female.

Street Impressions in Pudong

Last December, I wandered through Pudong's streets, taking in the quiet charm of local life against the backdrop of an ordinary urban skyline. Parents gathered expectantly at the kindergarten gate, their anticipation palpable as they waited for their children to emerge. Kindergarten Gate ( 31.19,121.52 ) A woman shook out her blanket from the window, sending dust motes dancing in the sunlight. Shaking ( 31.19,121.52 ) Workers were cutting a steel pipe by the street, sending sparks flying into the air. Sparks Flying ( 31.18,121.52 ) As the golden hour approached, the dog's tail grass by the street shimmered in the warm, soft light. Dog's Tail Grass ( 31.18,121.52 ) Back on the overpass, I watched as the skyline gradually turned a rich, golden hue. Overpass View ( 31.18,121.52 )
