China - Shanghai - First Impressions

Thursday, 2 May 2019

A number of striking buildings could be seen from the bus on our way from the airport to our hotel in the French Concession area of Shanghai.

The China Art Museum is housed in the China Pavilion of Expo 2010.
The Shanghai Mercedes-Benz Arena - another Expo 2010 building.
The Shanghai Museum.
The Shanghai Exhibition Center is a Soviet-style building that was originally built as the "Palace of Sino-Soviet Friendship". The Stalinist style is straight out of Moscow (day, night).
Many highways criss-cross Shanghai.
Major intersections frequently feature an elevated pedestrian "roundabout" that gets pedestrians out of the traffic.
Our hotel was in the French Concession, and our room looked east towards Pudong.
The night view was equally spectacular.
