A shot of the famous skyline of Pudong's Lujiazui financial district, just before the decorative lights are turned off.
And again sorry, due to flickr's inability to properly save local language tags since late Sept. 2022 and no fix in sight (no UTF-8 support in tags, it appears only characters from the stone-age "Code Page 437" work correctly), the tags are incomplete - I had to omit some tags, and because the 浦东 causes flickr's tag parser to create gibberish it is placed at the end of the list.

An after midnight panorama taken at a (at daytime) rather busy intersection of 5 roads:
淮海中路 Huaihai Middle Road
武康路 Wukang Road
兴国路 Xingguo Road
余庆路 Yuqing Road
天平路 Tianping Road
This is from the end of Wukang Road, corner to Xingguo Road, horizontal field of view is about 180°. Located at the border of Changning District (长宁区) and Xuhui District (徐汇区).
The building in the center is a famous apartment block in the former French Concession, at colonial times named "Normandie Apartments", nowadays it is mainly known as 武康大楼 "Wukang Mansion" resp. "Wukang Building" - Shanghai's "Flatiron".

And sorry, due to flickr's inability to properly save local language tags since late Sept. 2022 and no fix in sight (no UTF-8 support in tags, it appears only characters from the stone-age "Code Page 437" work correctly), the tags are incomplete - most Chinese tags do cause flickr's tag parser to create gibberish in the following tags.

And sorry, due to flickr's inability to properly save local language tags since late Sept. 2022 and no fix in sight (no UTF-8 support in tags, it appears only characters from the stone-age "Code Page 437" work correctly), the tags are incomplete - I had to omit some tags, because the 场 character in IAPM广场 and 上海环贸广场 causes flickr's tag parser to create gibberish in all following tags.
The "Nanshi Qu" assigned by flickr as location name is also wrong, a long standing issue with flickr's trashy location database.

The two angel statues in the Lujiazui Central Green Area (陆家嘴中心绿地). In the background the SWFC and Jin Mao Tower - before somebody asks, the Shanghai Tower is completely hidden behind Jin Mao from this point of view.
Blue tone by setting the WB to "Tungsten" and flashing the angel statues. WIth AWB and no flash you'd get green angels and a brown sky - yuck!

Small and cute figurines, about 5 cm (2 inches) tall. Shop display in Tianzifang.
Tianzifang (Chin: 田子坊): this is an area of small narrow alleys or "nong" (弄) which has been redeveloped and now features arts shops, restaurants and bars and also enough souvenir shops to make it a one-stop shopping location on the hunt for the "typical" Chinese souvenir. Get hungry while souvenir hunting? 10 different countries feature their respective national cuisine...

Fangbang Road (方浜路) is a narrow road in Huangpu District. Parts of the street in the vicinity of Yu Yuan are developed for tourism as "Shanghai Old Street" (上海老街). These parts start behind this gate (east), at the intersection of Central Fangbang Road and Henan South Road (河南南路).
The picture was taken in 2005 and the abundance of bicycles in the picture seems to fulfill a China-stereotype. Actually the road was crowded with cars - you have to wait some time to shoot the "expected" image...

Of the "JS" in total 1,916 units were made in two production runs (not only at Datong), from 1957-1965 and again 1981 until the final end of production in 1988/9.
