Visitors to Shanghai must always try to ride the meglev out or to Pudong International Airport. This high speed train is one of the fastest in the world. At the peak speed, it is more than 400km an hour. One does not feel anything when travelling on it. It is simply a smooth ride...

How safe are the viaducts? Initially, everytime the car travel below a viaduct, my heart jump. Soon by and by, I began to accept it as safe. Then again... Thank goodness, this is not happening in Shanghai. Security forces have maintained a strict control on the type of...

The 99 dragon pillar. Take a closer look at the central pillar of the viaduct. It is brown in color. It is brown because it is a metal sheet. On this metal sheet, 99 dragons (supposed to be) are being sculptured on to it. The story goes that when Shanghai wanted to build the 1st...
