Shanghai

Here is a picture round up of the touristy things we enjoyed in Shanghai.

We visited the Yu Gardens in Shanghai, a beautiful and once private garden composed of mainly water, where every symbol has its own meaning. I can see how relaxed the owner must have been as he created a very tranquil atmosphere.



 Entrance to the Garden is a bridge with 9 zig-zags




The Bund - the legendary riverside street

 The real city skyline (above) and a model of the skyline (below)


We went to the top of the Shanghai World Financial Center, a beautiful building that is currently the tallest building in Shanghai, but won't be for long as they are building a taller building right next to it. The building has a square hole at the top and the skywalk, where we took these pictures, is situated at the top of the hole so you are standing on glass looking down. The architecture in the whole city is just astounding, especially considering majority of the buildings were built in the last twenty years.


That's how high up we went!
