I find walking along Lambton Quay or The Terrace, in little ‘ole Wellington, enough for me. I really hate sky rises and walking in the cavernous depths beneath them, shaded from the sun and feeling the wind pressure increase as it is forced between the buildings. A part of me would like to visit Shanghai, but another half of me would want to run for thousands of miles to the nearest paddy field! I’m so thankful to you for these stunning photographs enabling me to enjoy a spot of armchair travel. You’re photographs, combined with sensory descriptions really sum up the feel of Shanghai. An extremely fascinating place and I’m sure a visit there is never forgotten.

It’s one of those sights that horrifies yet draws you back to look again. It’s like something out of a science fiction film. Here in my rural corner of the UK a 3 story atrium rates as something to marvel at, I think I’d be wandering around Shanghai being impressed with everything.
