The Shanghai city skyline is two faced. On the one hand, it is grandiose and stoic. For a foreigner, reminiscent of the best of park avenue or museum mile NYC...only bigger and older. Elegant and powerful.
On the other hand, a simple glance across the river and you are transported to a land more foreign than China itself. Sparkling, neon lights and oddly shaped buildings...what seems like a projection from the 80's of "What 2020 will look like". or simply the childhood toy "Light Bright" in sky scraper form....also known as the Pearl Tower.
