Huan Ying Ni!

Dying to see those mysterious Shanghai pics of mine?

Well, you've got your wish.

See the Previous Posts column to the right?

Good.

Just choose Day 1 to start.

Till the next journal rolls round...

20 December 2006 - Day 3

In the ancient-looking Yuyuan...

...you will find...

...ancient-looking stuff (yes, I know the date on the rock is 1999!)...

...and...and...AND...?!!!!

And at this wonderful food street (sorry forgot the name), you can have a dumpling overload without causing a dent in your pocket...

...while enjoying the lovely view below (and thanking your lucky stars you aren't part of it).

After which, you can take a walk past a building with a sign I don't like...

...on your way to the main shopping street!

The crowd giving you a headache? Then continue on...

...to the Bund! (I see there's still a crowd. Oh well, at least there's the sea, erm, river breeze.)

Shove everyone aside and get this photo opportunity.

19 December 2006 - Day 2 (Part II)

The following are exterior pictures and pictures taken from inside the Oriental Pearl Tower. The latter were taken from two levels on the tower - one near the middle and the Space Module, which is the highest point. The tower overlooks the downtown area and the Huangpu River.

As you can see, it was a very clear day.
