China Trip ---- Shang Hai (12/24-12/26)

This is the first time I visit ShangHai.

Like all tourists, we went to the Bund (外滩）at the Xmas eve. On the NanJing street, people, especially young people, filled the whole street and various shops along the streets. The tunnel towards ChenYi (陈毅) square was so crowded that I was afraid of a possibility of stampede.

Night scene of the banking district of PuDong (浦东) is just incredible. With "Liu Xiang's speed" and "Yao Ming's altitude", ShangHai is definitely the most vibrant city in the world.

On the next day, we visited ChengHuangMiao (城隍庙). In a modern city featuring skyscapers and overpass express ways, the traditional style buildings in ChengHuangMiao is very appealing.

I met my college classmates in 海上渔市 of 古北 district. We haven't met for almost 10 years. Talking old stories in Tsinghua brought us back to our student time.

Rapidly developing China surely means a lot of oppotunities for at least my classmates. 徐斌 is now the Chief Engineer (总工) of 浦东建设. 戴谷峰 has his own interior decoration company. 腾冲 is working in an investing firm, busy buying highways, hydraulic power stations and harbors around China. 苏毅 is finance manager of Shanghai Pharma (上海医药集团).
