I just put in an order for a book called "Touring Shanghai". I saw it as an advertisement for the magazine "The Hong Kong China Tourism Press". Anyways, I was wondering if any of you guys have it and could tell me if its a good book, has a lot of modern pictures of Shanghai, etc.

Thanks.

So many skyscrapers !! :eek2:

I assume this was taken on the observation deck of Jinmao tower. It's too bad that the sky wasn't clear that day, otherwise more skyscrapers on the Puxi side can be seen. :(

I think it would be useful to have a Chinese trivia thread where we can all post our mystery images and we can help out each other identifying them.

waah..those buildings look so fascinating...China is building lotsa cool structures

Does anybody have pictures of this road in Shanghai? I've heard its a street with a lot of high-end retail stores, but I've never really seen pictures of it.

If you do have pictures, could you please post them here? Thank you!

你去网上找太平洋百货。。那里就应该是淮海路。。。

只有淮海中路是购物区。。东西不是。。。

淮海路原名霞飞路。。殖民时期是法租界。。以法国将军霞飞命名。。。

你问km-sh，yangtzesea和neon吧。。他们都熟悉上海。。。我有两年多没去了。。

晕倒，我对上海一点都不熟

关于江苏的问题就交给我

上海所有的石库门都像这样该多好。。。

Where is this in Shanghai?
At least one place where the city can thrive and keep some kistorical buildings at the same time! I must go there next time I am in Shanghai.

I was there at night and love the atmosphere!

Its nice to see these beautiful old buildings being restored and put to new use.

I went during nighttime too. My friends there took me to a German pub, quite interesting, they had a live show where Germans were playing instruments. After our 8th round things got a little fuzzy :)

But I do remember going to some shops before that and OMG, they had some really nice products with prices to match... :)

I love 石庫門, they should preserve more, make more Xintiandis.

It is nice to see that some old buildings are preserved. But it is very regrettable that these old houses completely lost their previous function. I don't see much difference between Disney Land and Xintiandi, well Xintiandi is more upscale, that's it.

The last information I got was that they want to expand the whole concept up to Waitan (The Bund). I hope they won't turn the whole area into a gigantic Shanghai Style Disney Land, that would be very sad.

I was at TMSK (Taoming Shikao) just a few weeks ago and had a great dinner there. TMSK is the the restaurant on the last picture.

I was there at night and love the atmosphere!

I was there at night too......very nice atmosphere for chilling out and have a drink or dinner......:yes:

被戏称为嘉定区“西伯利亚”的朱家桥和娄塘两地动迁农民，搬进了本市规模最大的现代化农民别墅社区——海伦小区，12月25日上午9时半，有3087户农户分别拿到了联排别墅、多层公寓的新房钥匙。住新房、拿镇保、享受医疗保障，朱家桥村个子瘦小的农民钟乾新高兴地说：“我伲靠共产党才住进了别墅里，这是做梦也想不到的。”
　　
　　　　住新房还“赚钱”
　　
　　　　朱家桥镇朱家桥村地处偏远，钟乾新的老家坐落在乡间角落里，门口只有一条烂泥小路进出，遇到下雨天，不是人骑自行车，而是人扛自行车。老房子三上三下虽大，但是简陋陈旧，卫生设施不齐全。这次搬入海伦小区，交通便捷，服务设施一应俱全。老钟给记者算了一笔账，他家300平方米，动迁评估得到50多万元的补偿款，抵扣拿到手的两套别墅，还多余8万元。更让他笑得合不拢嘴的是，嘉定工业区为他们办理镇保，每人每月可领408元。娄西村金彩英一家四口人，公、婆都快七十岁了，一个有肝病，一个瘫在床上，儿子上大专，她本人也身体不好，丈夫又不幸在2001年一场车祸中去世。真是没想到，这次动迁使她家经济上翻了身：162平方米的新房子，金彩英只出了28万元，政府给的经济补偿除去房款，她还节余了10万元。
　　
　　　　新镇省地两千亩
　　
　　　　这次动迁分房子电脑抽签，农民满意，没有一个上访的。占地1.8平方公里的海伦小区，相当于市郊一个中等集镇规模。3000多户农民集中居住海伦小区后，归并自然村宅150个，腾出土地 2025亩。据悉，规划设计建筑总面积近100万平方米的海伦小区，已开工61.5万平方米，其中联排别墅2856套，多层公寓762套，每套平均面积 177平方米。难怪娄塘村农民陆惠英自豪地告诉记者，她女婿单位的城里人来看了后，都羡慕地说，你们住得比我们还要好

想了解一下这些已没有地可耕的农民, 以後靠什麽生活, 是不是都要转行做工人进城打工 ? 政府有没有什麽安排 ? 大城市周边规划也很重要. 不过无论如何, 改善了生活环境还是很好的. 上海这种大城市就象中国的纽约, 根本就不应还有耕地.

拿镇保是指镇里的最低生活保障。附近有工业园区，年轻一点的可以去当工人。如果补偿有两套房子或是房子面积大，可以租出去收租金。

OMG, what is the large pyramid looking building!?

Oh, what's wrong with these pics

Huh, a stadium/sport complex with a hotel all in one building. That is an interesting combination. We'll see how that works out :) When is it supposed to be built?

nice

Very trendy! Is that Shanghai's upscale shopping street? THe Shanghainese Times Square looks better than the Hong Kong one.

I'm familiar with such places.

Very nice

Cool place!

Do you guys know if this Bund building is being renovated into a Peninsula Hotel? Also, does anyone have any pictures of this building?

How many major CBDs are there in Puxi? Can you please post some photos for each? Thanks a lot!:)

I've got a one night stop over in Shanghai next month on the way to Japan. I get there about 5pm and head the next morning. If there is one thing I could do/place I could go in Shanghai in this time what where do u recommend. I believe the Maglev is 6 or 7 minutes from Pu dong Airport to the centre of town, is this right?

The maglev doesn't go to the city centre. It goes to the outskirts of Pudong new town and you can transfer to the subway there. However, it doesn't run into the night so double-check when the last train leaves.

why did the put an OLDER map of shanghai into google earht!!!!!!! ??????

>( >( >( >( >(

The one that was there previously was about 2 years old......
Now its 4 or more years old!!!!

How strange is that???

i notice that, too old. disappointed.

shopping: huaihai road, nanjing road, maoming road
bar: 新天地,(you could ask taxi driver, he would tell you where is the best bar )
sightseeing: pudong district(orital pearl platform to looking down shanghai)
take a bus, and yanan express way.

take photo ,share it here:)

I just came back from Shanghai, here are some tips:

1.Take the Meglva for 7 minutes, transfer to city subway to
downtown HeNan rd station, (very easy transfer, same station)
whey you get out of the station, the famous bund is in frount of you,
the stunning Pudong landscape will shock you!!.
the night scense is amazing, a must see!

2. across the tunnel, pick TV tower or Jinmao tower, view the massive
old shanghai in the air.

3. after darkness comes, walk back to the old shanghai along Nanjing rd, the No.1 shopping street in china, it is a disney land feeling. the walk will lead you to People's square, another landmark of shanghai, you will be surrounded by sparkling scrapers. the feeling is a combination of NY and HK.

a few hrs visit, lifetime memory.

Yeah, I find it kind of strange as well, but at least this one is much clearer and of higher resolution.

Wow! that's great advice, thanks very much, I've been to HK and New York and loved both so I'm imagining more wonderful sights. I don't speak any Chinese. Do young people speak English much there if I stop to ask for directions etc and are the signs at train stations etc also in English? Also, I like to try the speciality foods of a city. Is there anything which is especially good to eat in Shanghai? - preferably something which might be slightly easy on the western palate i.e. no pigs head or intestines etc.

Unfortunately not many people speak english, some young people speak limited english, i think they can help you with directions.

all station and street signs are Chinese-English, i suggest you get a map,
the Bund is called "Wai-Tan" in chinese, everybody knows it in shanghai.

as long as you get to wai-tan, all the landmarks are within walking distance.

as far as food, i don't know much about it, i grew up in the north, i don't like
shanghainess style. i heard "soup - bon" is very famouse.

also please be advised that shanghai is not HK and NY, it is still considered a third world city, i would suggest you do not talk to anyone who trys to sell you something or provide you with service, it could be a trap.

shanghai is an exciting city, i was so impressed by the futuristic Pudong
scrapers. I've been in HK, and i live in NY now, i still had a shocking feeling when i was in front of Pudong skyline. I'm sure shanghai won't disappoint you.

newjing's suggestions are great. I spent 4 days in Shanghai on a trip last year and I'd definately recommend the maglev, train to the bund, Oriental Pearl TV tower, Nanjing road, & People's suqare plan that newjing lays out.

My memory is that the Maglev train stops running at 5pm so that may be a problem for you but when I checked online someone said recently that they increased the time from 7-21:00. I am not sure how you can find out before you go unless someone in Shanghai can confirm for you.

As far as food you really can't go wrong. I don't have specific places to point out/tell you but we were able to walk around and walk into any number of places without any problems. Like most large cities with many tourists restaurants usually have photos of the food. I don't know what your budget is but you should search online for Shanghainese food and you can get plenty of options for popular local cuisine.

also please be advised that shanghai is not HK and NY, it is still considered a third world city, i would suggest you do not talk to anyone who trys to sell you something or provide you with service, it could be a trap.

Here I disagree strongly with newjing. Shanghai has not been a 'third world city' since the mid 19th century when its port was opened to the Western world. Yes there will be people trying to sell you things and services, but at no time did I feel unsafe and I feel that Shanghai is no more or less dangerous than Chicago (where I live) or any number of large cities where I have travelled.

Have a great trip!

I think you misunderstood my point. Shanghai is a very safe city compare to
NY, or Chicago. actually most chinese cities are pretty safe ( i wouldn't crown the title to shenzhen or guangzhou though.)

here i'm talking about the city's civilization level, it is far behind NY and HK, even though the infrastructures are world class level.

for example, the beggars drag turists's arm on the bund,(i watched for a long time, all day long), no police to stop them, if it was in the US, they would get arrested for harrasment. many turists got ripped off by those floating sales, even chinese people surfer the same.

many westerns never heard or experienced these in their own countries, that's why i made such a statement, i wish shanghai and china the best, but i know we still have a long way to go to catch up with the west.

卧薪尝胆。

It's true that people in China set more sophiscated traps trying to get money from others than the developped world, especially from white tourists. But it's easy to avoid. Like newjing said, don't follow anyone who say that they would give you any service or sell you anything.

However, l am not so sure about what newjing means by "civilization level" of SH being far behind that of NY and HK.

However, l am not so sure about what newjing means by "civilization level" of SH being far behind that of NY and HK.

It's probably just a not so appropriate translation of "文明程度". Don't take it too seriously.

there's no more huaihai market leh ... heard they closed liao and they moved somewhere else (if xiangyang shichang that you mean)

its pretty safe.. well a lot of beggar and ofcoz people trying to trap you or just to rip you off . just make sure u dont follow them. no difference even you can speak mandarin, you'll encounter the very same experience.

oh take the boat in the river and see PuDong skyline maybe a good idea once you're in WaiTan(The Bund).

the Shanghai one is the best I've seen. I did fall in love with the Bund and Pudong when I was in Shanghai last May.

The Bejing one reminds me sand storm attack, sorry.
by the way, my apartment is minuts away from there. I love Beijing, as always.

This is really cool. Thanks.

Shanghai's such an impressive city =]

Can anyone photoshop all Pudong's planned and under construction towers into that Shanghai pic? It's going to look absolutely amazing!!!

you haven't copied and pasted the whole picture url. Right click on the red x and you'll see it's cut short. Normally the image url will end in .jpg

It is a birdview from something like 10000m above the ground.

This one is for Xi'an, the ancient capital of China. You could see the citywall there.

@alexanderh:

Seems that airliners.net has taken some scecurity measures against hotlinking. U better copy the pics u wanna show onto ur own hdd and then reupload them onto imageshack or whatever u prefer...

^^ I don't think so. The pics I posted above are exactly those pics on that site. I guess he didn't do it right.

Great pictures.. thx for sharing...

Now this is funny. But as they are myriads of tourists running up and down the Pu Xi riverside along the bund it actually makes sense.

cool photos. almost like London, rainy and cold.

The happening part of Shanghai is in PuXi. PuDong is the designated new business district.

Yeah, awesome pic and indeed worth its own thread. Would be great to have this pic in super-high resolution.

stinking chinese scum, you think you have a few nice cities so you're doing well? Look at your countryside. Dirt poor and stinking just like you all are!!!

LOL. rage.

那照片很美喔.. 可惜没有飞车.. :cool:

The picture will look even better when all those construction sites in Pudong are finished.

stinking chinese scum, you think you have a few nice cities so you're doing well?



YES! We do, PUAHHAA! Awww, even you think we have a few nice cities eh? KEKEKE btw we have over a hundred nice cities not a few kekeke...
I love it when people get pissed at us, that really shows how successful we are. You never see people hate weak nations.

No comments, just a great picture...

Last I heard the American backwaters aren't doing so well either. In fact, Chinese immigrants to the US usually settle in the wealthier coastal areas and a few major inland cities, because those are the only areas that will allow them an improved quality of life, hence justifying immigration.

Awesome photo!!! It must be pretty recent as the Shanghai Financial Center tower is almost finished! :D

excuse my language, but holy shit that is one hell of a nice pic.

I can see there are a LOT of new buildings since I last visited Shanghai, and that new tower next to Jinmao is almsot completed already! when i was there, that piece of land wasnt even dug yet, and there were less buildings in that building cluster near jinmao. I miss that place.
