The Bund
Enrico and I after a rainy day looking at the financial district (which was all built in the last 10 years or so)
A couple getting some photos done
Atop a roof in the Bund looking across to the financial district again
Closing dinner
Something is on fire here:
These two tables were our group
The next day, everyone has left, I'm walking around People's Square and taking random photos:
People's Square
Typical bakery
These were delicious! And cheap! But really hot...
Also very good mango dessert
Can you tell which is the tallest?
Atop the one on the left, world's tallest observatory (but not the tallest in that picture above):

You could walk atop this glass below:
Here's the tallest building, would be the second behind Dubai I believe. According to one person, this building has made the ground sink below its so heavy:

Opera in Shanghai
Park near People's Square
Night district:
Walking through random streets now, this one had lots of antique dealers and other vendors. Bought a nice set of porcelain chopsticks for $4. Wooden chess set of terracotta warriors was $5.50.
Food
Walking through alleys
Park:
To yuyuan gardens:
Actually, these photos got mis-ordered....
Ok, now back to yuyuan gardens, enjoy:
One last picture from the city
Took the Matlev (200MPH+ train to the airport) to Pudong and left.
IN this picture, you can barely see it, but the tall building above is sticking out of the clouds below. Better in person, I know...
Flying over Alaska somewhere...
