This incredible city I visited four times between 2013 and 2017. Unbelievable, how many different faces Shanghai offers. It’s always been great fun to walk the city.

Amazing view onto The Bund from one of the coolest outdoor roof top bars of the city - Vue Bar!

Seems quiet and peaceful, but as soon as you turn around, you're surrounded by people.

German technology running at high speeds between Shanghai Airport and (almost) downtown.

Another panoramic view off the outdoor bar. They even have a little pool!

Watching the setting sun amazingly lighten that remarkable skyline. My favorite view on the city. Photographed in April 2013.

The first time I visited the city, this building was still the highest one (2013). Shanghai Tower (next to it) was far from being finished.

That's how Chinese supermarkets are set up -- the food can't get much fresher, but still.....
