Shanghai, China

After 21 hours by bus I`m arrived in Shanghai, the most developed city in China and, honestly, the less charming to me. Shanghai is a 15-million monster, a grey urban jungle with no personality, no soul, no flavour. It`s a very new and modern city: looks like one of the many metropolis spreaded all around the world, same as anywhere else in heavy indutrialized countries. And, like all those cities, it`s posh. Simply, Shanghai it`s not China, at least not the China I enjoyed to live. Even the beautiful shacks (those with orange plastic tables and chairs) where I`m used to eat genuine Chinese entries everyday, here are replaced by western brands like KFC, Subway, McDonald`s... Anyway, a short visit was worthy: the central area along the river is fulfilled by huge skyscrapers and was nice to walk there, while the view from the observation deck at World Financial Centre, at 490 metres high (the 3rd tallest tower in the world) was really breathtaking.
Just a sort stay here, enough to see all the main sights Shanghai has to offer. Next stop: Wehihai.
