"It can be difficult to orient yourself on the ground in Shanghai . A map will help, but an aerial view of the city will show you just how awesome this city is. You could charter a helicopter, but a far cheaperoption is seeingthe Urban Planning Exhibition Center’s 1/500 scale model of Shanghai. The model encompasses the city’s core and fills an entire room! Visitors walk around it on an elevated platform, pointing out tiny versions of Shanghai and Jin Mao towers, the Shanghai World Financial Center, and the Oriental Pearl Tower. Across the "Huangpu River" you can see tiny boats, low-rise houses, and towering apartment blocks."
