Photos from 2/7/09, Shanghai: The Bund/Yu Yuan

Shanghai! The glitz! The glamor! Lots of photos!

The pedestrian mall on East Nanjing road.

The Pudong district, as seen from the Bund.

Closer up view of the Pudong

Building on the Bund, I think this is the old Customs House

A beautiful cafe I had coffee in in the old Customs House

The Yu Yuan from the street.

An alley on the way to the Yu Yuan

The tourist mob in the Yu Yuan old town shopping section. It's a madhouse! A MADHOUSE!

Just kidding, there is no way out.

Inside the Yu Yuan, Ming scholar stones and lovely pavilions

A nice pond.

Jinmao Tower, as seen from the Yu Yuan

Chinese gardens really are quite lovely.

A Beijing opera stage within the gardens

Folks fishing at a Shanghai park

Not quite sure why I took this, but the Chinese at the park

Forget which buildings these are.

Skateboarders in Renmin Square

I believe this is the Shanghai Symphony building, dating back to the colonial period.

More skyscrapers from Renmin Square. Shanghai actually has more skyscrapers than Manhattan.

Tall buildings wow!

The Shanghai Museum

Public art in Renmin Square

The gorgeous Art Deco Grand Theater.

The creepy clean Shanghai subway. Welcome to the future, ladies and gents.

FOOD PORN! These are my awesome pork noodles, with green tea. You can also see the menu thing.

Taste of home.
