Pudong Before and After Dusk

Shanghai's Pudong District, across the river from the historic Bund, is world-famous not only for its skyscrapers but also its nighttime lights show, so we planned to spend one of our last evenings in Shanghai enjoying the sights.

These are the three buildings most famous: (l-r) Shanghai Financial Center (the "bottle opener"), Jin Mao Tower, and Shanghai Tower, the world's second tallest building. We got up into the latter two.


But first, a return to my favorite soup dumplings place...



Allen and this little guy had the cutest time passing the ball back and forth.



Starbucks-es are everywhere, one per block in the downtown areas. I liked how this one even advertised on its rooftop so those of us on an elevation walkway could see.



Looking across the river at The Bund. River traffic never stops, just changes direction with the tides.



Around 4 p.m. the light shows begin.









We had a drink on the 84th floor of a Hyatt in the Jin Mao Tower.
