After Hong Kong I was feeling pretty beat, so I holed up in Shanghai for a few days, trying to grab some energy for an ascent of Huang Shan, China's Yellow Mountain.

 |
| Shanghai spent years as both an English and German town, and the old colonial architecture is still everywhere downtown. |
 |
| See? Spires! |
 |
| Also: aliens. They landed on that building. |
 |
| The hostel I stayed at was rather fancy. I should hope so given the price of accommodation in Shanghai. |
 |
| View from the colonial Bund across the river to the Financial district. |
 |
| Looking along the Bund. |
 |
| This is what London will look like after the Red Invasion of 2130. |
 |
| The Bund is riddled with invisible wormholes. Shanghai commuters use them for cheap travel to Australia. |
 |
| The Financial District. |
 |
| Pretty and shiny! |
 |
| The image of Chairman Mao has received a facelift in the Chinese civic sculpting industry, |
 |
| Truly a first-world city. |
 |
| The sun goes down... |
