The evening was spent on a river cruise to admire the lights of the city from the boat. The financial area of Shanghai is much like our Wall Street. Where Beijing is the political center of China, Shanghai is the financial center. The tall skyscrapers are amazing!!! It seems almost everything has been built within the past 5 years. There is so much construction going on in China that every where you look there are office buildings reaching to the heavens and condominiums in clusters large enough to be a city within each complex.
