China Shanghai

The city of Shanghai was a totally different feel from Beijing. It looked more like any modern city with the surrounding skyscrapers. Also, it has a very unique characteristic with the old 18th century European style buildings. It is supposed to be the next New York with the world's tallest building. It is not quite New York but in 20 years it might be. There was construction everywhere. However, when you went to some of the older parts of town you could see a different side of the city. Also, on the last day I took a train out an hour outside of the city to Suzhou. I spent the day out there viewing life along some of the old canals.

The places I went were the Bund, Shanghai Oceanarium, Yu Gardens, French Concession, and many more temples and shopping streets.
