This is one of two of my photographs that was selected by a hotel chain to be used in the Shanghai Expo. I took the shot during my April 2007 visit to Shanghai. The view is from the first (lower) ball of the Oriental Pearl tower in Pudong district. This area has be developed heavily over the last 20 years so that it has become one of the richest areas of China. At night, the quantity of neon lights is quite impressive, if just a little gaudy.
