photoseries - shanghai from above


Shanghai seen from the California Grill at the Marriott Hotel near Renmin GongYuan, people's park. It shows most of the typical characteristics of the city; the sculptural, random highrises, the blocks of lilong housing, the elevated highways intersecting by the dragon column, the mix of old an new, and the neverending topography of skyscrapers...

On a side note, if you visit Shanghai one thing not to miss is the champange brunches. Our favorite is at the mentioned California Grill, and one can indulge oneself in an unlimited feast of lobster, kingcrab, appetizers, sashimi, roast, salads, desserts (including a choclate fountain!) martinis, wine and champange every sunday, for a quite modest amount of money. A relaxed atmosphere and amazing view gives a taste of routine luxury.
