I have been to Shanghai in the end of 2010, I felt that Shanghai is a combine archaic and modern styles city. But honestly, the evening in Shanghai is more beautiful than the morning in Shanghai. :P

The Bund
The bund is a famous scenery of Shanghai, you can find out different views from two sides of the bund.
If you view from PuXi, you can see the Oriental Pearl Tower, and If you view from Pudong, you can see some archaic buildings. That is a different feel of Shanghai.
