Pudong, Shanghai




The working week was spent on the other side of the Bund which is known at Pudong. Full of modern skyscrapers and crowded subways you could easily think you in New York. The subway was easy to use and yes another city that can get a smart card to work on trains and buses!
Although Shanghai sky is extremely polluted and we managed to see blue sky only once, the streets are very clean and quite colourful with hanging baskets of petunias on lightposts.and numorous street plantings of annuals. Parks and gardens are very manicured and early in the mornings buzzing with people doing Tai Chi and men taking their birds to the park in bamboo cages to enter singing competitions.
