Nine Dragons Intersection in Shanghai China. According to the legend, a dragon lives beneath this intersection. Its construction awoke the dragon and brought it to an abrupt halt. It was impossible for the workers to drill any deeper, and even the best engineers couldn't explain the situation. It caused several delays and mysterious issues. A priest was consulted who explained that dragons are proud creatures, so a simple yet noble gesture in its honor could restore its slumber allowing construction to continue. #stormsgallery #WeekendGetaway
The Bund is the best place in Shanghai to observe its unique and iconic skyline over the Huangpu river. It gives amazing views at night as well. Make sure you go there in both day and night if you find yourself in Shanghai.
