Shanghai Urban Planning Museum

Oh my goodness! Imagine a model train builder’s wildest dream. This is a 5 story building devoted to models of Shanghai and future Shanghai.

The 3rd floor is entirely consumed by a model of Shanghai in 2020.

We have learned so much about Shanghai on this trip. Shanghai is the largest city in China. Shanghai is the financial center of China. And Shanghai is simply amazing.

The pictures do not do the model justice. If you are able to actually see the model, you will realize, Shanghai really is and will continue to be one of the largest cities in the world.

Click on the pictures to see them in full size. The full size really gives the impressive effect.
