Even though the brunt of this past weekend’s Chinese typhoon Muifa missed Shanghai there were still people swept off their feet, bicycles and scooters. The force of wind in urban areas was 7-8 points (50-70 km per hour), and in coastal areas it was 11 points (103-117 km per hour). See the powerful winds in action.

Shanghai in the darkness looks like an ideal place for The Dark Knight heroes.

Recently a big motor show was held in Shanghai. It seems that the whole city came to visit it. Just take a look.

This is Bund Sightseeing Tunnel in Shanghai. The subway tunnel is entangled with spectacular optics for over 647 feet, which creates the illusion of colorful threads when the train moves.

The city of Shanghai has certainly changed over the years as evidenced by the photos in this post. While the city may have been poor in the past, it certainly isn’t any more. It is new and modern and full of life.

Shanghai Stadium

This is Lujiazui, an important financial district in Shanghai. 

Just look how it has changed in comparison with 1990.

Amazing!

This amazing building “Seed Cathedral” is designed by Thomas Heatherwich. It’s the most wonderful 6-storey structure I have ever seen. It is pierced by 60 thousand of acrylic rods that add “Seed Cathedral” an unforgettable look. This unique building is the contribution made by the UK to the 2010 World Expo that will open in Shanghai (China) in May. Reportedly about 800,000 every day visitors will visit this exhibition. Photos of "Seed Cathedral" are inside the post.
