Located at the People's Square, the city's heart, the Shanghai
Grand Theatre has become a representative building in Shanghai.
The building seems to be made almost entirely from glass and the
reflections of artificial and natural light are simply stunning.
It hosts major national and international concerts and performances.
Regarded as the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years,
it is the waterfront area of Pu Xi (West City) that faces
the newer part of Shanghai - Pu Dong (East City).
Walking along the Bund at night is a fascinating site, as
the entire PuDong skyline is illuminated, including the
Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the Jin Mao Tower (2nd tallest
building in the world). Directly across Zhongshan Road are
many different types of architectures from Old Shanghai,
including: Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism and Renaissance.
