Travel

Shanghai has grown outward and upward, completing a network of super highways and bridges that rival any internationally and erecting more skyscrapers and record tall buildings than any other metropolis in the world. One cannot travel in and out of Chinas most populated city without being overwhelmed by its expansiveness. It is hard to encompass in size; like an ocean it seems to stretch as far as the eye can see. From the quaint quarters of the French Concession with their European architecture, to the historical, colonial-style buildings stretching along the Bund and overlooking the promenade by the Huangpu River, its contrasts are evident. From the futuristic skyline of the Pudong  just across the river from the Bund  whose skyscrapers are some of the tallest in all of China, to the bustling supermalls of the Nanjing Lu and Huaihai Lu districts, clearly one can tell that this is a city that never stops reinventing itself.
