Ye Shanghai

The famous Oriental Pearl TV Tower and nearby buildings viewed from the Bund. This scene has invariably become the modern image of Shanghai, I believe.

I was, however, more intrigued by the sight of the glowing buildings along the bund (see below). The view was truly mesmerising; the buildings that followed the road down were of different architectural designs, and they shone, literally, in Shanghai night. It was evocative of a flourishing and ostentatiously bustling Shanghai in its early years, replete with exciting stories of wealth and crime.
