This lovely building is not a stadium or a concert hall. It actually houses a Rest & Service outlet along the Elevated Expressway just outside the Shanghai City limit.
The Maintenance and Toll Charges motorists had to pay to use the Elevated Expressway.
This multi-tier Flyover Interchange in the heart of Shanghai City is supported by a huge column as main support. Story had it that there was exteme difficulty carrying out piling and constructing the column and the Feng Shui master was consulted. He found out that nine dragon lived below this huge interchange and to calm them, the City Council must carve the image of these nine dragons on the circular column. True enough, the work was smooth after that and the interchange was completed without further difficulties. Unfortunately, the Feng Shui master died soon after for "letting the secret out" about these dragons. Believe it or not?
These guys were strung from the top of this multi-storey building cleaning the tiles. Spider Men they were indeed.
Not sure what is the name of this shrub but the pink leaves are so sweet.
The Cruise Boat at The Bund had this notice on its wall.
The high-speed Maglev Train from Pudong International Airport to Shanghai City. Capable of a top speed of 450 km/hr, it was unfortunately grossly under utilized due to cost of tickets.
