I have uploaded 42 photos of Shanghai that I took in 1983.  I am making my first return visit since then-24 years- this week.

I just edited my link at Flickr, and I see it got reposted. Anyway, I came back in 2007, and have been to Shanghai a couple times since.  The changes are truly awesome.  The Peace Hotel was the big building then!
