Cityscape

6/1/2014
A couple weeks ago a friend took me to downtown Shanghai at dusk and we walked around Wai Tan, the financial and tourist area.  We looked across the Huang Pu River at the cityscape as the lights came on at night.  It was beautiful, and it looked like the Shanghai skyline you would see in a movie.  It was sort of the first time I really felt that I was in the exotic city of Shanghai, China, like being in a storybook. 


The Bund, in the financial district


The financial district


We took the ferry across the river and I took lots of pictures of the beautiful boats and lights.


On the other side of the river, this is the Oriental Pearl Tower.  On a clear night you can see all three "pearls" of the tower.  We saw the tower that Tom Cruise climbs in the Mission Impossible movie.


I <3 Shanghai.
