Shanghai - Xujiahui, Midnight

Metro City (美罗城) on the left with its iconic glass ball facade and Taipingyang Digital Plaza (Phase II, 太平洋数码二期) are / were two iconic buildings in the Xujiahui shopping area.

 

And why "were" above?

Answer: The right building, Taipingyang Digital Plaza Phase II, has been demolished in 2016 and is gone now. Therefore this shot has some historical value 😇.

Also: this was taken from the grand staircase of the Grand Gateway Mall - in the meanwhile that staircase was also removed and is replaced by a massive lobby structure.

 

Several long exposures combined into one image, due to the time the shot was taken traffic was not that busy...
