    There appeared to be families living on many of these boats that were tied up in the Wusong River. I enjoyed just walking along and watching how people lived and worked.

    Shanghai is a modern city now. But on the Bund you can still see the old buildings, which were built by the Europeans. These highrise-buildings were meant to be supermodern hundred years ago.
