Shanghai

Shanghai is a fantastic city. It is as Westernized as China gets. (I believe anyway) It is modern and clean. Some of the buildings soar into the sky like Manhattan and some of them are from the colonial era with Gothic, and neoclassical styles. It is located on the Huangpu River with a famous promenade walk called The Bund. It is here you can browse around these fabulous buildings.

This is the Shanghai Bund tunnel ride under the Huangpu River-- it's a blast. A laser light show plays till you reach the Pudong on the other side.

We watched a cool show.
