The view in that photo on the other side of the river, less than 20 years ago, was one of a third-world dump.

What's shown in the picture, the area Mactep is talking about and the part with the futuristic buildings - is Pudong, across the river. I've been on that embankment a few times - always a thrill and with a definite vibe.
Richard A wrote:Yes, I noticed that. I haven't been through it, though. There's a charge to enter it and it seemed a rather odd thing to pay for. So I opted for watching from the embankment for free. Or, once, looking at it from the rooftop bar of the Peace Hotel - which possibly cost more than the tunnel would have done, but at least I got a nice drink as well.
