Shanghai by night

featured article
The skyline of the Pudong New Area, on the east bank of the Huangpu River, shows off the modern architecture of the world's most populous city, at over 19 million people. At left, the Oriental Pearl Tower with its shining spheres is the tallest TV tower in Asia at 1,535 feet. Behind it, the Shanghai World Financial Center, with a distinctive aperture or "keyhole" at top, was hailed as the best skyscraper of 2008. Lit in gold, the Jin Mao Tower ("Golden Prosperity Building") contains offices, a mall, clubs, restaurants and the Grand Hyatt Hotel, with a picturesque atrium complete with spiral staircases, and the world's longest laundry chute.
