Shanghai - Juxtaposition of New and Old

by chatterley - last update: Dec 22, 2006

First Impression of Shanghai

The Bund
It was an interesting experience, visiting Shanghai. This city is one of the most affluent, fastest-growing and modern cities in China, with new skyscrapers being built every other day; but it also retains some of its old world charm, just like what the author Zhang Ai Ling had described in her books.

The juxtaposition of the new and the old do not clash, it simply adds to the magical charm of Shanghai...
People's Square
