The Pilot embarked last night at 9pm and we made the 60-mile transit up the river to Shanghai. We docked at 3am.

…nd today, while the forces behind other rapid and fast growing cities like Shanghai are more driven by a “grand plan” and in the showcase and prestige that modern glitzy buildings offer, bulldozing down the old to make way for the new.
