Some news from Shanghai, where I got now three weeks ago…
Sprawling cities

Industrial zones, tours of homes, shopping malls, ramps of highways and metro lines grow like mushrooms, doped by economic growth and the absence of barrier on the ground (everything is flat). Pockets of old quarters remain, When they are not shaved, and are renovated more or less happy ending, as Xitiandi become a place “connected” with art galleries and bars for Westerners and the temple Jing'An known too is it antique or toc.
