Modern Shanghai looks like most other Asian 'international' cities (eg HK, Singapore...) but bigger.
Shanghai therefore has its share of ugly skyscrapers...(the giant Bottle-Opener thing behind)
Silly looking municipal buildings...
But Old Shanghai (like Guangzhou & Beijing) is where the Architectural treasures lie...
70~100yr old buildings erected by European & American trading powers, adapt well for Chinese style high density living...
