The Bund, Shanghai

As a former-Shanghainese, I couldn't recall the last time I looked onto the Bund from this close...I need to get to know my city better! From the right, the HSBC Building, the China Merchants Company Building, The Great Northern Telegraph Company building, The Russel & Co. Building, the NKK Building, and cut off on the very left, The Union Building. I suspect none of the original namesake owners got their buildings back...

Getting high! in Shang-hai! :D

View from the 94th floor of IFC Shanghai, overlooking the back of the head of Grand Hyatt and their big brother Oriental Pearl TV Tower. Huangpu river was a refreshing green (?) on this sunny day! From someone who was used to admiring these skyscraper neighbours while straining her neck, this was a pleasant change!
