The ICBC building* rising in stark contrast against the traditional roof tops of Yu Yuan Garden in Shanghai’s old city.
Thank you for visiting and have a great weekend!
* The building in this image is actually the ICBC building in Puxi and not the Jinmao Tower as mentioned earlier in my post. Apologies for the mix up.
great take, lovely picture…;)
Thanks Cobbies!
Shanghai – I would love to see that place. Such an interesting place, both historically and gastronomically!
Absolutely! Thanks for stopping by!
I like this Madhu. This is very good example of contrast. The regular little crashes between old and new we see in cities around the world. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Anette!
Interesting dome. Beautiful architecture.
Yes Orples! I mistakenly tagged it Jin Mao Tower but it is actually the much smaller ICBC building! Thanks for stopping by!
oops, that is not the JIn mao tower 🙂
Oops I believe it isnt!!
It is actually the ICBC building in Puxi closer to the Yu Yuan garden than the Jin Mao Tower which is in Pudong across the river! Good catch Mimo! Apologies for the mix up! Editing my post right away.
no problem 🙂 the jin mao is the first thing I see from my window when I wake up:) I live in Pudong
No wonder you spotted it right away 🙂
two worlds, side by side.
thanks for sharing this fascinating contrast.
You are welcome! Thanks for commenting!
YES IT IS a perfect contrast. Interestingly I just posted two shots from the inside of that very tower (for weekly photo challenge down … of course a bit late).
Wow! That is “Down” ! Probably the best entry for that challenge even if it is late! My shots of the tower would only qualify for “UP” though 🙂 We did not climb up to the top!
That was a great experience. I grumbled a bit because the 3 people I was with were in a hurry to move along and I wanted to linger and take in the view. But I’m thankful for the brief time I had there.
Oh this is so lovely, Madhu! Perfect interpretation for Contrast!
So glad you think so Judy!
Beautiful! I like! 🙂
Thank You Sonel 🙂
