Huangpu :: Shanghai
The Huangpu River winds through Shanghai and splits the city into the Puxi and Pudong sides (west and east respectively).
The Huangpu River is seen here from the Vue Bar in the Hyatt on the Bund - great view, expensive drinks
To the left is the new financial centre of Lujiazui and the Pearl Tower [...]
Let’s go fly a kite
Kites are everywhere in the Shanghai public parks and they range from small ones like this, to kites which are flown up to a couple kilometers high above.
This one was seen in the Century Park area of Pudong.
Shanghai :: May 2010.
Hyatt on the Bund :: View towards Pudong
Another break in the Malaysia image flow… this is the view taken from the Hyatt on the Bund Hotel in Shanghai, looking towards the Pudong area. I took this image a few days ago and thought it was quite good for a night time image using my Canon G10.
Shanghai Pearl Tower :: Lujiazui
A view of the Pearl Communication Tower in Shanghai. I’m not sure where I was when I took this image and I initially rejected it thinking I didn’t like it. However, sometimes it’s good to go through images again and on a second viewing I’ve decided that I really do like this image. [...]
An Alternative Shanghai Gang of Four…
Four of the big buildings on the Pudong side of Shanghai. July 2009.
Cleaning windows?
Looking down on the second tallest building in Shanghai from the tallest building and wondering who’s holding the ropes!
The Pearl Tower, Pudong, Shanghai
My final night time image of Shanghai for a while. This is the Pearl Tower, an iconic image for Shanghai. I’m hoping this counts as a more unusual view of the tower, taken from a temporary bridge near the new World Financial Centre.
Posing in my Digger
More of Pudong Construction at night. The workers in their orange hats and uniforms were happy to pose from a distance, but not so happy when I asked for some closeups. However, these workers were not shy and stayed in the cab of this digger for a while so I could get this shot. They [...]
Pudong Construction
Slightly different to yesterday’s images of Pudong, this one has one of my favourite features - a bright orange digger!
The construction workers were also happy to be in this image, although it’s hard to make them out.
Shiny Shanghai
It’s been a while coming, but here are the first few images of Shanghai at night. This next series is taken in Pudong and features the World Financial Centre, the Jin Mao Tower and some of the the construction at night.
Overview of The Bund Construction in Shanghai
So much construction going on in Shanghai. This is a view from the Puxi side looking towards The Bund and Pudong.
Relaxing at work
These construction workers in Shanghai work long hours. Many of them have migrated from other parts of the country and have no real home here but live in basic conditions either onsite or very close by. They’re a friendly lot as well and very proud of the work they are doing.
Contributing to China’s Prosperity
The construction in Shanghai is on a grand scale. Construction workers here show much dedication and are very proud of their work. The title for this post is also what’s written on my tax form from the Chinese government: “Thank you for contributing to China’s Prosperity” - it seems appropriate for this and the next [...]
Shanghai Construction
I am a fan of construction images. Here’s one and no doubt more will follow. I already have quite a collection of construction images, if you want to see some of my previous work, then check out my portfolio link above which takes you to my regular website.
The “From the back of a cab” series [...]
Changing Perspectives - Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone II
Just a little walk changes you perspective quite a lot. Compare this image with another taken on the same day called: Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone
Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone
The Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone looks very cool from The Bund and is part of the Pudong side of Shanghai. I took this image on a beautiful autumn day in 2008 just after the Shanghai World Financial Center opened (aka the giant bottle opener!).
