Shanghai from height

Shanghai is one of the largest metropolises in the world. Watching him, as for a large number of big cities with nice height. As the author writes, it is possible to come completely into any house, climb to the top floor and did not even need to open the roof, in the hallways are large and comfortable window.




Unfortunately, the weather in Shanghai is almost always bad. Low clouds covering the way the sun's rays. From four to five days it was completely cloudy.



This species was first out of the window of the hotel.



Looking at it, I cast down: the city composed entirely of skyscrapers I do not like. But Shanghai is not New York, and even Hong Kong, walking on the ground, do not feel like a midget, and the old districts are preparing a lot of interesting to those who dare to climb!



Such property was considered good in Shanghai still some two decades ago. Today these pimped nobody wants to live!



Throughout contrasts!





It is the center of the city. Children's playgrounds and organize in the most unusual places.



Older areas against the background of new buildings - the main thing "cliché" anyone who takes pictures of Shanghai. But it is, and the best way to show what the city really is. Here, everything is mixed up.



More interesting to take the city from the window of the train ground metro line.



Now climb the Shanghai homes. All new fenced, sitting inside the guard. Seeing European face, he does not ask any questions: still did not understand. Just pass by, go in the entrance, up the elevator, and there you are waiting for different types of beauty!



Head out of it - everywhere vacant lots. More recently, in their place was a dense old buildings. Very soon there will be new homes and new roof, where you can climb. In all its advantages!



But these species are disappearing every day.



This five-story building, with respect to svzhie, too, seem to have slums.



Former Shanghai destroyed. First krushat excavator, and then dismantled on dosochki. The inhabitants of this different attitude: someone considers it a disaster, tragedy and the loss of historical ties, others fully support the city government.



Because a large modern city needs large and modern roads.



The contours of the new Shanghai have become recognizable worldwide thanks to carefully podobranny beads in outline Skyline, skyline. The town can be found along the lines of its buildings, like New York.



The usual conventional yard of a house. We have so called "elite." See how few cars in the yard! But there is a beautiful park!



I like the geometry of the image.













Quarterly buildings of old Shanghai.



View of the city on both sides of the river.









The television tower, of course, there is an official viewing platform with a glass floor. But I decided not to go, not sports!



Playground on the balcony of an apartment house.



But those green-brown houses - really expensive. They are right on the waterfront. We had to climb up, but to go far.



At the site of the former slum dwellers have already organized parking. That would be in Moscow a couple of blocks to demolish five-story building, and to do everything in the mind!



Most Chinese are divided into high-rise roof gardens and parks. You've read about the guy Istria, buyout a mountain of the tower pulled?



The building on the left was built "based on» Chrysler Building in Manhattan.



Where the old neighborhoods still have - very colorful and interesting. Yes, dirty, yes - it stinks! But this is the China that existed thousands of years. It is a long time will remain in the provinces, but to come to Shanghai to see this is not a tourist.
