2000 Years and a Decade


The Shanghai skyline on the east side of the Huangpu River sprouted up over the last 10-15 years. It's almost incomprehensible. Many of the scuptures on the ground floor exhibition hall of the Shanghai museum have been around for 2000 years.

Our last day and half in Shanghai included: a trip to the beautifully arranged sculptures, porcelain work and scroll-painting of the Shanghai museum, a walk through the French Quarter, an hour long $6 foot massage at the blind foot massage school and another couple of great meals at restaurants with the rhyming names Yin and Lynn. For more old and new images of our Shanghai journey visit the Shanghai Old and New set on Flickr.
