We enjoyed living in Shanghai for over two years
(2000-2002). We had a very simple digital camera in those days, but we
hope some of these photos will give you taste of this incredible city.
Shanghai's Famous Bund has been an Asian business and banking center for
over 100 years. |

(Left) Looking
across the Huangpu River from the Bund you see "New Shanghai" (or PuDong)--an
ultra-modern city featuring the Pearl TV Tower and the Jin Mao (earth's
3rd tallest building!).
In addition to it's bustling business and shopping districts, Shanghai
also has great museums and entertainment venues. Shanghai’s world-famous acrobatic circus is a real
crowd-pleaser.

This is Shanghai's cool Planning Museum. Inside (right),
the top floor is a huge scale model of the way Shanghai will look in a few
years. |

The Bund (or Wai
Tan) is still a popular destination for tourists and "locals" by
day and night! |

The 400-year-old
YuYuan tea house. |
On the "old"
side of the river, Shanghai is working hard to preserve its treasures,
including the YuYuan tea house (left) and the fairy-castle-like Mollar
Villa hotel (right) where we spent our 13th wedding anniversary. |
