A month ago I had the thrill of spending two days in Shanghai. A city of contrasts, I was struck by the city's architectural variety of the financial area, on the east side of the Huangpu River, contrasted with the older markets and the Yuyuan Gardens, on the west side of the river. Two days barely scratched the surface, although we did walk The Bund (the city's Wall Street area in the 1920's and 30's), visit the Shanghai Museum and take a night cruise of the port. I found fashion, finance, history and amazing art in this China's most populous city, over 23 million people!
