Shanghai - China

Shanghai's population now exceeds 24 million! 

The Bund (Wai Tan) is a walkway extending over a km along the Huangpu River, that separates old Shanghai from modern Shanghai, and offers excellent views of the 100+ storey ultra highrises especially at dusk.

Old Shanghai is home to historic buildings including the 1909 Opium Commission building, now converted into a luxury hotel, as well as the Peace Hotel.

Yuyuan Garden, a Buddhist garden, is a serene retreat away from the rest of the city.

Mahjong is played by men in the streets.

Modern Shanghai hosts ginormous multi-storey shopping complexes.
