The Oriental Pearl Tower is an iconic symbol of the Shanghai sky line. I managed to get a lovely shot of it from the Bund side.
This is the Huangpu River which is the main river of Shanghai. It divides the city into east and west parts. On the east bank of the Huangpu River is the Bund.
The Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall
Located in People Square, the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall is a must to visit when in Shanghai.
I loved reading about the history of this city.
One thing I was really fascinated by was the huge scale model of Shanghai which showed all existing and planned buildings... soooo amazing!!
When people ask me .."how big is Shanghai?" I just say the whole population of Australia can fit into Shanghai!!
You cannot fit the whole model of the city into one photo frame. That's how massive it is! This a good starting point before touring the city. When we first got here, we visited the Urban Planning Exhibition Hall then we took the big bus tour which gave us a really good picture of the city.
