Back to Shanghai


Daylight Shanghai Bund


Nanjing Rd & the legendary Peace Hotel - historically dubbed "Mansion in the East". (It was closed & under renovation at time of last visit 2007) Inside high end restaurants and shops abound with a string quartet in the circular lobby area to set the mood ...there is a display of the most enormous crystal works of birds & animals in the Swarovski shop.

Below is an example of many such pedestrian walkways rising over the busy traffic intersections, even quadrangle ones ...something TO should really consider as part of city infrastructure (aka Vegas). The city has utilized these corridors extensively and even beautified some with greenery. Much of the larger cities in China have separate lanes dedicated to just bicycles / mopeds in addition to a pedestrian walkway and four to six lanes for cars....even that is not enough to alleviate congestion during high traffic hours.
