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...

The "Hall of 500 Arhats" in Shanghai's Longhua Temple (龙华寺).
Longhua Temple is the largest of the extant Buddhist temples in Shanghai, dedicated to the Chan (禅) School of Buddhism.
The temple was first build in 242 AD. Due to being destroyed during wars it was re-built several times. The present architectural style is that of the Song Dynasty. With nearly 1,780 years of history it is the largest, oldest and most authentic temple complex in Shanghai.
While it is a tourist attraction, it is also an "active" temple, therefore respect should be paid to the people saying their prayers in the temple when visiting it.
You wouldn't go to a church in shorts and Hawaii shirt and take pictures of praying persons with your huge iPad during Sunday mass, wouldn't you?

Roadside snippet. At the time the shot was taken (April 2005), this area was already scheduled for redevelopment - but then I've heard it still looks same in December 2025... (Shanghai, Luwan District, Chongde Road - 上海, 卢湾区, 崇德路).

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...

Buddha is happy - he has something to hold: A vintage Shanghai 1120-410 wristwatch, with a rather rare black dial. Handwound 17-jewel SS1 movement. The movement is marked EL, thus produced in Dec. 1969. Here is another one, with a pretty common white dial and 2 years older.

The Shanghai Gymnasium is also known as Shanghai Indoor Stadium and Shanghai Grand Stage, a venue for Rock concerts.
Shanghai Gymnasium is one of China's largest indoor sports venues. It's construction was completed in 1975. In 1999 the gymnasium underwent renovation and expanded its functions for large-scale on-stage performances. Another brush-up was given in 2005, as the Gymnasium was the main venue of the 2005 World Table Tennis Champoinships.

And the muscle powered vehicle in front is just my bike...😁
This old steam locomotive was placed there as memorial to the time when the Xuhui riverside promenade and park (徐汇滨江公园) used to be a busy warehousing and cargo handling area.
The locomotive was made in 1987 by the Datong Locomotive Works (大同机车工厂). It is a 2-8-2 "JS" (建设, Jianshe = Construction), in the revised "B" specification, build no. 8145.
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.

Car ferry 兴信 (Xing Xin) crossing the Yangzi River towards Chongming Island. These Ferries are quite slow, about 20 km/h (11 knots) only.
Click here to see a high speed ferry on the same route.
Taken while doing a dead cheap 2-hour Yangzi River cruise using one of these slow ferries (total cost, ferry only: 24 CNY, about 3 EUR or 3.50 USD) with the purpose to take some ship photos on the way.

At the Dragon Boat Races 2016.
Boat no. 3, Canada (加拿大, Jiānádà), is clearly leading boat no. 4, Norway (挪威, Nuówēi).
These races are an annual event held during the Dragon Boat Festival (端午节, Duānwǔjié) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important traditional Chinese festivals.
The races are held on a section of Suzhou Creek located in Putuo District.
Travel Tips:
In case you happen to be in Shanghai around Dragon Boat Festival and want to take pictures of the races:
You must come on the first day of the races (qualifying) - on the second day (finals) all the "good spots" are cordoned off and reserved for VIPs and groups of honourable elderly.
Now, even if you come on the first day, be there at least 2 hours before the races start, bring your tripod and set it up to reserve your spot (even if you don't intend to use it) - the good spots are easy recognized by groups of tripods lined up along the river.
You can then leave and go eat some Zongzi (粽子), nobody will touch, move (or even steal) your tripod. Exception: If your tripod is a flimsy "travel" thingy, somebody might move it to second row, because its deemed not worth such a good spot.
Return an hour before start - otherwise the crowd will be too thick to reach your tripod...
