Well isn't this a treat! Thanks in part to the solar eclipse, Shanghai's going to get a dash of royalty on Wednesday. Shanghai Daily has reported that "Thailand's Princess" will be in the city to watch the metereological event from a special stand at Jinshan City Beach. They didn't specify which Thai princess would be coming along, though we're guessing its Her Royal Highness Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, just because she tends to be the one in the news more. If anyone makes it to Jinshan Beach (it's still open to the public) on Wednesday morning, make sure to make sure for us.

• On the upside, 13 of the city's parks are going to be upgraded this year (most likely for the same reason old buildings are being destroyed). On the list are Changfeng Park, Shanghai Botanical Garden and Shanghai Zoo. [Shanghai Daily]
