….Before I left I noticed that the building on the corner of Nanjing Lu/Changle Lu, that previously housed the Standard Chartered Bank, was up for demolition.

……….The view from one of our windows

Just a corner in Jingan District

Ongoing construction in the Portman Ritz. When it’s done I follow up.

Before we left for our new apartment I took some snapshots of the situation. The new buildings were still mostly empty, the old buildings in front disappeared day by day. In a year I expect the construction will start.
Some local history is gone, replaced by modern skyscrapers that you can find anywhere in the world
