The city of Shanghai recently built a 1.8-kilometer-long
"Olympic corridor" along its famous Bund to mark the approach of
the 2008 Olympic Games next August in Beijing.
The corridor features posters with facts and figures about the
Olympics and 2,008 photographs taken by local residents with
various occupations.
Shanghai's Bund, which runs four kilometers along the Huangpu
River, is a must-visit place for tourists. The most picturesque
sight is the "museum of international architecture" -- an assembly
of buildings in different European styles that serves as a reminder
of the city's colonial era from the late nineteenth century to the
mid-twentieth century.
