Gumbo’s Pic of the Day, October 28, 2014: The changing landscape of Shanghai

Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai

Shanghai, once the financial and shipping center of Asia, has weathered its ups and downs over the centuries.  With the population of 24 million, it is currently the largest Chinese city by population.  In recent years, Shanghai undergoes dramatic changes including its landscape as shown in those pictures I took during a recent visit.

Sounds like an interesting city.  Do you like the old or new Shanghai better, DrY?
