More Shanghai Scenes

Shanghai is a photographer's paradise, especially if you don't live there.  Around every corner is something that needs to be snapped.

The most famous commercial street is Nanjing Street.  It was easy walking this day even though it was part of a three day holiday.  However, that night it was a vastly different story with all of this empty pavement absolutely jam-packed with tourists and shoppers.  The shops remain open until 10.00pm each night in China so the night time streets are often busier than in the day time

Tired of walking? Hop on a colourful motorised tram.

Shanghai isn't ALL buildings and people - there's some nice parkland too, with lovely people strolling along.

The same street at night.  Who wants to pay the electricity bill?

The most beautiful people can be found in Shanghai.  This one is enjoying a 'grown up' book while sitting on Grandma's bed.

This was the haberdashery section - each shop specialised in just one item such as lace, buttons, ribbons, and this one sold huge ball of string.

Typical.

'The Bottle Opener' (aka The World Finance Tower).  The gap at the top is so that the evil spirits can pass through the building!!!

View from the 91st floor of the WFT.  The building on the left is still under construction and will eventually be taller than 115 floor WFT.

Shame is was so smoggy - but a really clear day in Shanghai would be almost a miracle.
