Yep. Before Yao came here, a lot of people though of Shanghai as a fishing town complete only with huts and little boats. Heh... Another city, Hong Kong, is one of the best examples of the "free market" at work.
actually, thats the pudong side, which really isnt part of the shanghai area, although the rest of the city isn't too shabby either. there is so much building going on that pudong side is SINKING!!! but only 1 cm a year. I studied abroad in shanghai (its my dad's birthplace) and its an amazing city. with all the new developments, some parts are more advanced than where i live in NYC. actually, when i was there i had a chance to play ball with Yao's dad as he trains in a public park on the weekends, but he left for the states a week after i got in town
Hello, nyquil82! You just made a mistake.Pudong is a district of Shanghai. I have lived in Shanghai for 21 years since I was born. It is absolutely a part of Shanghai.
well, when my grandparents lived there and pudong was just farmland, it definetly was not considered part of the city because it lacked buildings. i guess the value of land changes depending on whats on top of it. what i meant by pointing that out is that yao comes from the side that the picture is taken, not on the newly constructed side.
Hey - Thanks everybody for posting pictures and links for Shanghai! I think that if I were to Google-search on Shanghai, I probably wouldn't get many results! Those Shanghai pics are really friggin' hard to come by, so keep 'em coming! -- droxford
You are right! Pudong was really farmland around 15 years ago. But with the development of the Chinese economy.it changes a lot and the whole China changes a lot.China is not longer the China which American people imagine.
Thanks for your encouragement,droxford. More pictures about the night life in Shanghai. http://61.132.73.246/downshow/viewthread.php?tid=52242
Yeah I live there. Althought right now it's probably not as good as before because of the economical downturn, it's still one great place to... well how can I describe, "great to be to fight for your dream" may be an appropriate phase.
NO,not really.It should be glorious Socialism with Chinese featrue that causes the flourish of Shanghai.
If you go back about a century Shanghai was just a fishing village. But as long as Shanghai has been a city Pudong has been a part of it, although part of the suburbs. They ran out of space to build in the downtown core so they built around it and offered incentives for industries to relocate.
