About Shanghai

Shanghai, abbagliante metropoli finanziaria sul fiume Huangpu: lungofiume coloniale di fronte a uno skyline futuristico, vicoli con sale da tè.

Il Bund, una passeggiata lungofiume fiancheggiata da grandiose banche e hotel dell'inizio del Novecento, guarda oltre l'acqua le torri di Pudong, tra cui la Oriental Pearl Tower, la Jin Mao Tower e la Shanghai Tower dalla forma attorcigliata. La vista è più spettacolare dopo il tramonto, quando le due rive si illuminano e i battelli fluviali scivolano tra loro.
