Pu Dong





The edge of Shanghai used to be the Huangpu River. Along the river is the Bund, which is a wide walkway with large 19th century European style buildings (probably built by Europeans) all along it. Across the river was just farmland. This has now been developed into a district called Pu Dong with big office buildings, shopping malls, and a television tower called the Oriental Pearl. The pictures above show Pu Dong from the Bund. Pu Dong looks, well, unreal. It looks like a futuristic computer generated graphic image from a movie like Spykids 3. The colors and shapes of the buildings and structures are just so outlandish.
