I recommend anyone to visit Shanghai. It's my favourite city in Asia along with Hong Kong and Tokyo. Of the three it offers the best value for money and best architecture. The other two have superb modern buildings but lack any equivalent of the Bund - a strip of magnificent British-built buildings lining the Huangpu River and built in the 20s and 30s. Shanghai also has racy nightlife, excellent cuisine, neon-soaked Nanjing Road, and some of the best bars I have ever been to along the Bund (eg Bar Rouge or M-on-the-Bund).

Wow, that would be a great tower when completed.

That looks really cool! Is it better to visit now, or wait til all these projects they're annuncing happen? I'm thinking the latter, so I don't "miss out" on anything.
