Yes, caught the Tower again. But this time I stood on the west side of the Huang Pu River,— the Bund. The architecture you see aside of the photo is the Hero Cenotaph which was built to memorize who died during the wars since 1840. It consists by 3 gun-shape parts, which implied the meaning of the main 3 historical periods in Shanghai’s history: Opium Wars; May 4th Movement of 1919; and China’s War of Liberation, as well as in China. Before 1949, there once was an garden called “huang pu garden”(黄埔公园) which was the first garden built in shanghai, in 1867.
It was my first time to discover this Cenotaph, and underneath there is a museum——Museum of the Bund’s History. Recently it is being redecorated. If you will come to visit shanghai someday, maybe its a choice. Museum is free for all.


That’s an amazing shot – really unusual.
Really good shot.
Jing, is the atmosphere murky because it is foggy, or is it air pollution (or a mixture).
I am really put off visiting China, mainly because every time I see images on TV it looks so polluted. I would be sneezing and coughing as soon as I arrived. Such a shame this is the result of the phenomenal growth of the past decade or so.
A friend just back from China said many cities are thick with pollution but said great steps are being taken in trying to move to solar energy in new developments and clean up theatmosphere, so let’s hope that’s so!
Great framing – looks like we are peeking through a keyhole!
I agree with Isabella—great framing! Awesome photo!
Would love to walk on the Bund, fascinating frame up. Apart from that those towers were a fad, I dont like the tower in Sydney etc. Julia, Newcastle Au
I really like the perspective, Jing!
of course visiting the museum would be in the itinery especially it is freeeee
Looks like a sci-fi set, but great photo – i like the haze and I like the little people at the bottom, gives it scale
