I wish, I wish, I wish I could have gotten a better picture of central Shanghai. Two problems: smog almost continually and a cityscape so large that it's very difficult to find a vantage point from which you can even begin to capture everything.
I'm standing on the side of the river referred to as The Bund. It's lined with older, European-style buildings that have mostly been stored. Several contain very chic and mod roof-top restaurants which are fantastic places for dinner or a drink. Looking across the river is Pudong which has been developed into a world-class financial district. To the right (outside of the picture), is being built what will be the tallest building in the world (I think?) until it's surpassed by one being constructed in the Middle East. Overall, an extremely impressive place. Now, if they could just do something about the smog....
