Shanghai

Whooohoo Juice and I have started our long awaited trip to China.


We arrived in Shanghai the Paris of the East. Population 23.5 million.

One of Shanghai's signiture buildings - The China telecomms building

All the skysrappers have been built over the last 15 years. The gold building on the left is a TV screen.

We went down to the old city.


Typical chinese garden

Shanghai is home to the chinese stock exchange. They have a copy of the Wall Street bull.

This was the first HSBC building. It was beautifully decorated in art deco inside. (Sorry we coundn't take any photos)

The next 3 views are from the Jinmao Tower



All this built in 15 years.

Some porcelain works of the Xing Dynasty



Shanghai at night

We went of an evening river boat to see the city at night. It was simply spectacular.
