There is a lot more history in Shanghai than you would think. Shanghai is a very fast developing city. About thirty years ago, the east side was just farmland, but now it is home to one of the most internationalized cities today. We visited the Bund which is on the west side of the city and where the picture below was taken. The Bund was once owned by many European countries, Russia, and Japan, and they would actually segregate Chinese people from everyone else there. These businesses were gradually moved out and any colonial figures were taken down. Going to the Bund is one of the most popular tourist sights because of the view of the east side and because of the history. Another site we visited was the World Financial Center. It has the highest observation deck in the world and is the third tallest building in the world. We got to see all of Shanghai from the top and since it was at night all of the towers were lit up. One thing though about Shanghai is that all of the city lights go off at 11:00 p.m. But overall every night in Shanghai was a new experience and it was cool that we got to end the program in such a magnificent city.
