Along the Bund (Early evening, August 9, 2012)

Tonight, we headed down to the area along the Huangpu River. This famous boardwalk is referred to as the Bund. If you have experienced the lit buildings of Chicago's architecture at night, you have a tiny taste of what this area looks like. On the Bund side of the river are the grand European style buildings reflecting Shanghai's colorful past.



On the opposite side, is a skyline like something out of a futuristic film! Almost like a scene from "The Jetsons!" (This really dates me.)



It is an amazing sight to behold. In the water are colorful, brightly lit ships that carry visitors up and down the water.



This is the perfect place to spend an evening in Shanghai.
And then back to the Fish Inn... to squeeze all of today's purchases into one ever-expanding black duffel bag.
