I love the old Shikumen houses. Don't recall them charging an entrance fee for Yuyuan gardens when I was last there. All I remember was spending many hours there every trip to Shanghai and enjoying the XLB dumplings. Long queues from memory but worthwhile. Also the tea house is worth a visit, just to sit and sip tea overlooking the water and imagining it was a different time and year. Enjoying your travellers tales.
Goose Island?! Goose Island beer is a Chicago thing (I thought)
So they are, I had no idea, but I see they have gone international, although Goose Island is growing and brewing locally in China as well.
That’s remarkable. Goose Island was what I remember as one of the first “small beers” around where I’m
from (although that was long before I was allowed to drink them). One of my school friends was their brewmaster for a long time.
