Fast, New and Growing


Having visited Shanghai over the years, the revival and transformation of of Shanghai is magical.

Skyscrappers of the most modern designs are lighting up the night. Though there are power shortages and cuts. Cafes and hypermarkets mushrooming everywhere. People, people and people are coming to Shanghai from China and from overseas to work and live the good life.


Shanghai has become one of the greatest and liveliest cities in Asia and in the world.

1) Do not miss the pedestrian mall of Nanjing Road.

2) Lighting up of the buildings on both sides of the river @Shanghai bund.

3) The shopping, eating and garden tour of Yuyuan

4) Shanghai Museum

    Interesting to get a sense of how Shanhai has changed since I was there over 10 years ago. I'm sorry I missed the museum as it sounds a good one.
