One recommendation that I would give for the trip next year, is to spend more time looking through the Dongtan Eco-city. I feel that there wasn’t enough time spent at the site to warrant a paper about the place. It felt like we just stopped, ate there, and left.

The only green thing that I was able to see while actually there was the solar panels on the top of the streetlights. I was able to get a picture of one of the homes, but that was on the way back to Shanghai from the eco-city itself. The eco-city seemed empty and decrepit itself. All-in-all, I was disappointed with the visit to the eco-city, and I am worried about the paper my group has to write about the city.

Below are the few pictures that I was able to get in the city, and I was unable to find the picture of the lamp posts that I talked about earlier in the post. I apologize for the blurriness of the one photo, as we were in the bus and moving.
