Shanghai - part 2 (mostly photos)

A street view in Shanghai - Puxi side.

The Huangpu River - Puxi side. Construction for the expanded subway system is visible in the lower part of the photo.

Barges on the river - coal, logs, rubble/dirt, etc.

The view and construction facing the other way.

Ferry boats crossing the river while dodging the barges.

John and I with the Huangpu River, Pearl Tower, and the Pudong skyline behind us. We had lunch on a nearby balcony - great river view.

Science and Technology Museum is a very interesting shaped building (we didn't go inside). The "Fake Market" is underneath the plaza area. The market is rows and rows and rows of booths selling cheap knock-offs: suitcases, purses, underwear & socks, jewelry, games, trinkets...

Kite flying (and selling) is popular in the plaza along with skateboarding.
