2008 in Pictures: Part 14

Nanpu Bridge Area

Date Taken: June 8th, 2008

The Nanpu Bridge in southern Shanghai. Traveling across this bridge provides an immensely beautiful view of the city, particularly as you enter from the western side by winding up a giant corkscrew ramp.

Soccer Match

Date Taken: June 12th, 2008

Soccer!! The Dalian Shide (in white) take on the Shanghai Shenhua. Shanghai won, 3-1.

Shanghai Museum

Date Taken: August 9th, 2008

A guardian of heaven on display at the Shanghai Museum, one of the country's most renowned collections of artifacts and history. It has over 120,000 pieces in its collection. And it's free! (The museum, that is -- not the guardian.) I think they did it that way to balance out the extreme lack-of-history in the rest of the city ;-)

Beijing Opera

Date Taken: August 10th, 2008

A Beijing opera performance!! Okay, so there's a little bit of history in Shanghai ;-)


Bank of China HQ

Date Taken: August 18th, 2008

The Bank of China headquarters in downtown Hong Kong.
