Pictures of the Bund after the makeover have been posted here ad-nauseum, but hey, what the hell!

I started my tour of the Bund at its southern point, Xinkaihe, where a new bus station was recently built.

Some of the buildings were still in the process of being renovated.

It was in the morning so the waterfront was still quiet. As usual the Sun hid behind a cloud ...

I hope Shanghai is not going to look like any other city . I hope Shanghai is just Shanghai. It can become a very special diverse city,combining eastern and western cultural elements in its own way.

The Peninsular Shanghai is quite an epic! It has added more elegance and magnificence to the whole Bund Area, imo.

those are really beautiful buildings.
