The mix of architecture in Shanghai


China retains it culture amid growing skylines.

Shanghai was certainly a highlight of the 2010 Tour.  After 8 days in Beijing and Jinan, arriving in Shanghai was like arriving in New York City in the U.S. after a week in the country.  Shanghai retains the charm of its historic roots, but it certainly is a modern city with a skyline that is astonishingly impressive.  From every part of Shanghai, one can see the modern skyscrapers peeking through and revealing that China is on the rise!
