The "Chamber of Ten Thousand Flowers" is next to the toilet. Sorry for the confusion.
Owing to the crowds, we never tried the famous Shanghai steamed buns or learned what degustation was.
Below, some charming "stay off the grass" signs....

The sign below left urges everybody, drivers and pedestrians, to obey the traffic laws. Good luck with that. Paradise by the dashboard light and civilization under the traffic light.
On the right, an example of the "The Good Life." Grandpa sits and takes his ease while admiring his granddaughter in her ballet dress and his grandson playing violin. Mom and Dad also look on happily. This is a real estate ad, and a typical one. The kids -- their happiness and their accomplishments -- are always the focus of these ads, the culmination of all the family's hard work. When only one child is shown in these ads, it's almost always a little girl.

Another favorite of mine is this couple gazing rapturously at a waffle. Maybe the waffle has been photoshopped into the bride's hand. Maybe she was holding a glass slipper. At any rate, they are Westerners, promoting the delicious snack food known as the unadorned waffle. This ad was on the side of a bus.
(Sniff, wipes tear) They are so happy! Your experience with the Danco waffle may vary. In 2009, the product was withdrawn from the market in Australia after authorities found traces of melamine in the golden, waffle-y goodness.
