The Jin Mao Building is located in Pudong district of Shanghai. It is one of several super tall skyscrapers in Shanghai today. This picture was taken from the Oriental Pearl Tower, next door to the Jin Mao Building. It was a grab shot with my cheapest camera through the glass windows so it’s not the highest quallity. The buildings has a public observation platform. The upper floors of the Jin Mao Building also contain a hotel where you can enjoy a spectacular view with your stay.
The Lippo building in Hong Kong belongs to Indonesian tycoon Mochtar Riady who owns The Lippo Group. The building is one of the most recognisable among the Hong Kong skyline. I love Hong Kong. It is a favourite place for me. I never tier of the city. There’s always something new to do, something new to see, somewhere new to go. Maybe someday I’ll make my home there for a while.
On of my favourite classical Chinese gardens is the Yu Yuan Garden in Shanghai. It’s located in the old part of the city, just south of the Bund riverside walkway. The garden is today inside a restored tourist street area that surrounds Shanghai’s Town Gods Temple. However, the hustle and bustle of tourists and the noise of the city all disappear when you step through the garden’s gate.
