Shanghai Day 1

lots and lots of light rain our first morning there but we walked a lot of the older part of the city for the first time

this is on the waterfront of the river dividing the city, it's an old part of the city packed with tall, ornate buildings ranging from the 1880's to the early 1940's.


above and below: this is what's across from those beautiful, old buildings. that is the new economic center of the city; and back in the rainy haze is the jin mao building, the tallest in china. we made a point to walk along here as often as possible on the trip just to believe it, it's so crazy to see a skyline like that exist.
