Shanghai skyline
Then at other times you are quickly reminded that you are in China. The following two pictures were taken from the same location but of opposite sides of the road.
On the right we have skyscrapers and a nice park
On the left we houses where locals live
Shanghai are busy preparing for the World Expo which will take place later this year. As a result there is construction work going on almost everywhere. During my time in Shanghai I did a walking tour of the city and the guide explained that many of the old buildings were being demolished to make way for modern buildings for the expo.

Similar to Beijing there are lots of parks in Shanghai and the locals regularly use them. Any parks that I have visited always have people (mainly elderly) playing cards, dominos, flying kites, practicing martial arts and dancing.
