Shanghai Surprise

There is something special about Shanghai at night.  On the west of the river is the stunning, old world grandeur of The Bund.  On the east, you see the magnificent light show of ultra-modern Pudong.  I could have spent hours walking along the waterfront boardwalk and admiring Shanghai’s greatest surprise:  It’s spectacular beauty at night.   Here are a few of my favorite views.

(Note:  I apologize in advance for the quality of these photos.  Unfortunately I used my iPhone camera.  I hope to learn the art of photography at night.  A photography course is on my goal list for 2012.  I still thought these photos were worth sharing.  Enjoy!)

Stay tuned…

    I like the fact that the Oriental Pearl Tower (or at least that’s what I think the tower is called) is partly covered in mist. I wonder how the city looks like from the top of the tower.

  3. You can also take boat rides up and down the river too, but it looks like your walk covered the entire way! Waiting to see more…
