T plus 1 - Shanghai

Shanghai's like any large Asian city; always more picturesque at night, when the visual assault of neon lights glitz up the grey monotony of 70's and 80's low-rent architecture.

Waibaidu Bridge at Night.  Phooyoh.

Peace Hotel on the Bund.  Double meh.

Nice photos. I could never understand why Shanghai woild choose that monstrosity (the Gaudy Pearl Tower) to be the highlight of the Pudong skyline.
