Shanghai, China-the architecture of the city(Part 3)
Shanghai, China-the architecture of the city(cont’d from part 2)
Shanghai has bveen having a building boom for several years. It has been estimated that 40% of the world’s construction cranes are busy at work in Shanghai. I don’t doubt it.
I forgot to mention in my earlier posts; when in Shanghai you should go over to the building of the Planning Commission. They have models of the expansion plans of several Chinese cities. It is very, very interesting way to spend an hour or two. My daughter and I both enjoyed the time we spent there.
Ok, here are the last of some of the photos I shot of the buildings of Shanghai, China. Just can’t get over the interesting designs.
This is the Howard Johnson's hotel just down the way on Nanjing Liu from our hotel

Shanghai, China (Part 2) the lights of the city
In my previous post, I said I would share some photos of the lights of Shanghai, China. A lot of these are taken in the area they call Nanjing Lu. It is a pedestrianised shopping area with many bright lights.
Our hotel, The Ramada, was located right in the middle of all of this. Every night we could just walk a few steps outside the hotel and see the light show. Take a look for yourself:

Shanghai, China-photos of the lights of the city
One of the things that has always impressed me about Asia is the way some of the cities display a stunning panorama of lights in the shopping districts. I especially like the Shanghai lights.
I found myself taking lots of photos of the lights at night and photos of the building architecture during the daytime. I am going to do a couple of blogs to just show the lights and then I will do a couple posts with some of the buildings of Shanghai. I think the photos say it better than words. Here goes:
the lights of Pudong across the Bund from central Shanghai. An impressive view at night.
