Our last stop on our second day was the new financial district in Shanghai, Lujiazui, which is located on the eastern side of the 黃浦江 (Huangpu River). As such it is just across the famous The Bund which is located in the river's western side. The district boasts of the world's second tallest building,
the Shanghai Tower the construction of which is nearing completion.
We got there at dusk and so we savored the sights in the busy district. Since we were all tired we just went up the wide overpass next to the subway exit and took photos. We were not interested in walking in the area anyway.

| Now, isn't this a pretty and refreshing sight? |
 |
| dragons in a road island: I'm thinking of having a sarimanok along Ayala Avenue and/ or EDSA... |
 |
| colorful garden at the rotuna: I wish we have many of these in Manila |
 |
| Oriental Pearl TV Tower: Luijiazui's most famous landmark |
We didn't wait for the night to fall and left some thirty minutes after arrival. I cannot stress enough our need to sleep and rest after a whole day of walking!
