My hotel at night - yes, my hotel is the one with the purple light.
This is the bridge I would take every day to get back and forth from my hotel to the office. Notice the rainbow lights as it's starting to get dark. I think Shanghai is LGBT friendly. ;-)
This was right by my hotel - note that the bushes are shaped like peacocks. It was really amazing to see!
One of the entrances for Yuyuan, the place where I did some shopping and visited a Chinese Garden and architecture.
Walking around in Yuyuan.
One of the signs posted for an electronics store. I couldn't help taking a picture and posting. Clearly a non-native English speaker translated this.
Yu Garden
The furniture you see here is all made of knotted wood and somehow formed into the shape of a chair. Amazing craftsmanship!
There was a special exhibit for a contemporary French artist, Katarina HallbackMonnier, at Yuyuan. I think this piece in particular was quite spectacular.
There was a man-made stream going through Yuyuan with a gazillion goldfish. Here's a pic of some children feeding the goldfish.
Obligatory self-portrait at Yuyuan. I would just like to say, this is not vanity. It is an essential if you are traveling alone and don't have anyone to take a picture of you. ;-)
Pretty building and waterfall.
The entire top of the wall was topped by the tail of the dragon. I couldn't capture it all in the photo but it was pretty cool. :-)
Visiting the financial district.
Only white woman for miles.
The Shanghai World Finance Center. This is the world's second tallest building with a lookout point on the 100th floor. The building was so tall, I couldn't even fit it all in my camera view.
Amazing view of Shanghai from the 100th floor of the SWFC.
Me and Benny (my colleague) at the SWFC.
