#Daydream: Shanghai

We know how it is. You’re stuck at your desk and the day seems to be going on forever. Your mind starts to wander — at first to “anywhere but here,” but then to exotic, faraway lands where your everyday problems and stress melt in the presence of true paradise. You want to go to there, and we want to go with you. Every day at 3 p.m. Eastern, we’ll send you a picture of the place we at Yahoo Travel are daydreaming about so we can all take that mental vacation together. Let’s go to…

…Shanghai! During the day, we’ll stroll through Fuxing Park before hitting up the antiques market on Dongtai Road (an antique gramophone and vintage leather suitcase are at the top of our want list!) At night, we’ll fill our bellies with xiaolong bao – delicious soup dumplings that originated in Shanghai – and then head to one of the city’s many great rooftop bars to sip cocktails while we enjoy the incredible view.
