A wet and rainy March day at the Bund district of Shanghai. 

No that isn't smog, but rather genuine fog. One can hardly see to the other side of the river. 

A slice of tranquil with this koi pond at the Yu Gardens. 

A lovely wall of flowers before we make the short climb up the promenade to see the famous skyline across the river. 

The signature Shanghai skyline. 

The Huang Pu river bisects Shanghai, separating it into what is known as 'old Shanghai' and 'new Shanghai. I personally prefer old Shanghai, which is the side of the river this picture is taken from. 

Signature Shanghai skyline at night time is even more stunning.

Qibao Ancient Town is a great visit to see ancient Chinese architecture, 

West Lake: the jewel of Hangzhou, an hour by bullet train outside of Shanghai. 

Hangzhou's famous West Lake. 

Beautiful willow trees line the entire circumference of the lake. During the summer months they reach peak gorgeous. 

During ancient times, Chinese poets would come to West Lake for inspiration. 

You can indeed hire a boat and head out on the lake if so desired. 

It's difficult to photograph how beautiful West Lake is. You really have to be there. 

Longhua Revolutionary Martyr's Cemetery.

Century Park is sort of the Central Park of Shanghai. Located on the Pudong side of the river, it appears to be a popular recreation destination for locals, even with the $10 entrance fee.  

Spectacular architecture of the China Art Museum. 

At the Expo Center plaza by the river. 

The Mercedes Benz Arena, with its spectacular space ship architecture.
