About Shanghai

Shanghai, ville financière éblouissante sur le Huangpu : quais de l'ère coloniale face à un horizon futuriste, ruelles et maisons de thé cachées.

Le Bund, promenade au bord du fleuve bordée de grandes banques et d'hôtels du début du XXe siècle, fait face aux tours de Pudong de l'autre côté de l'eau, dont la tour de la Perle orientale, la tour Jin Mao et la tour de Shanghai en torsade. La vue est la plus spectaculaire après la tombée de la nuit, quand les deux rives s'illuminent et que les bateaux fluviaux glissent entre elles.
