LILY & OWEN's - First Trip Into China
& Route thru China
on spock15's travel map.
Of course Shanghai has a TOWER - it's called the Orient Pearl TV Tower...
(It's that woman in the funny hat again ;-) )
The original 'French Concession' district is now an upmarket area containing consulates, restaurants, boutiques...
The Xintiandi district of remaining old 'shikumen' stone tenement houses has been restored, largely pedestrianised & now attracting foreign tourists & affluent locals.
And a Starbucks is here of course.
Self explanatory...
Janet tells me that, at one time, in the 80s there were only 200 cars in Shanghai... now there are over 300 cars per day exploding onto the road in Shanghai (this despite licence plate auction prices reaching RMB55,000/NZD11,000)!
