Building Where the Bus Stop Was
Lujiazui is really one big construction site. There were numerous buildings under construction here, not the least would be the Shanghai Tower which will be the second tallest building in the world after the Burj Kalifa. It will be much taller than the Shanghai World Financial Tower which is king of the hill in China right now. It is very interesting to see them bunch up all these super tall buildings all in one location. The building will be completed in 2014, I want to be here when it opens to the public. I was walking around when I unexpectedly ran into the Shanghai Apple Store. I have never been to an official Apple Store and I was surprised to see one here. Obviously, China is very much in the mind of Apple for them to set up an official store.
Apple Store Shanghai
Unfortunately, the Apple Store was already closed at that time but at least I finally got to see that famed glass cube with the Apple logo. I was wandering around trying to find a way back to the hostel when I noticed a bus stop near the Oriental Pearl Tower. There were numerous bus stops there and I didn’t know what to take. I tried to look at the street names in the hope that I would recognize something. Which I did, I took that bus and got off somewhere near my hostel. If I didn’t know how to get back the only other option would be to take a cab since walking was not an option because of the river in between.
