part 6 of the chink photos




now for some in shanghai...shanghai is the financial "capital" of the PRC and hence its inhabitants are more happening and definitely in general, more well-off...there weren't many sights to see but first and foremost is the skyline of the pudong area dominated by the oriental pearl tower (the 2 ball tower in the 1st two pix above).

it stands at a height of 468m and is the tallest building in shanghai, just shading the jinmao tower which is 15m shorter...we went up to the 2nd ball for a view of the city and the surrounding sights...we could have gone further up to an higher observation deck but that would have cost an extra 40RMB for another 45m up...no real diff...

the 3rd pic was taken from the observation deck on the 2nd ball at slow slow exposure with a small aperture in order to get the smooth flowing lightshow... ;)
