SHANGHAI LOCATIONS
She Shan Park
Considered the highest natural point within Shanghai city limits, She Shan Park would offer an interesting view of what remains of Shanghai’s natural landscape. Atop the mountain is a basilica, duly named ‘Sheshan Basilica’, where visitors to the park are allowed to roam around. The camera could possibly be place atop the bell tower where we could get a 360 view of the surrounding forrest.
East Nanjing Road
East Nanjing Road is a shopping strip frequented by many visitors each day. This would offer an interesting look into the consumer nature of Shanghai as well as give us a glimpse into the past with a comparison to the original strip of buildings that predated the modern neon lit experience it is now.
