Shanghai

(Shanghai's TV tower)

(Shanghai at night)

After Suzhou, we went to modern Shanghai.

We saw the Jin Mao Tower - which is fascinating! This amazing tower was China's tallest until 2007 when it was surpassed by the Shanghai Financial Tower (pictured below).

We also saw Jackie Chan when we were visiting the tower!!!





We also went to another Urban Planning Museum. Shanghai is the host of the 2010 World Expo and there was some great models of the area which they are building for the event.

The class Model of the city

Also we went to the new French Quarter the Chinese built. Here Jason and I decided to have a German beer. It was funny to see them in Dirndl's.

Of course, we did more shopping and at this point we both are really shopped out. But we really enjoyed the architecture of the stores and the streets.

We also went to Nanjing Road, which has more modern type of shopping. Jason and I ventured into the Samsung Mall where we found an ice skating rink inside and a huge arcade.
