The dynamism of Shanghai is expressed without limitation in the Pudong district, which has shot up in just a few decades, doubling the surface area of the city and bringing with it bold architectural designs. The stunning World Financial Center is located here, as is the highly original Oriental Pearl Tower, and other vertiginous buildings which help create this astonishing scene of triumphant capitalism. From the banks of the river in Pudong, the views extend across the historic Bund district.
