The Sightseeing Tunnel

The Shanghai Sightseeing Tunnel is a three minute ride under the river to cross to Pudong. Only 30 years ago, the area of Pudong was rice-fields, today it's skyscraper central. If you've seen any pictures of Shanghai, they were probably taken in that area. 

The tunnel is different though. It is a bit like light shows of the holiday season, but instead of lit snowflakes and x-mas trees, there are tubes of lights strewn across the tunnel. 

I guess I would say that it is the combination of a holiday light show and a car wash. It might not be as epic as you hoped, yet the pictures can be really cool.

  1. You should film a music video there! I like the light show+carwash analogy. Right now, I'm touring with my choir in North Carolina. We haven't seen anything quite like this light tunnel!

    1. That's awesome Anna! How's North Carolina?
      The light show is only a few minutes long, but I could use some of the video footage for an intro or something. Good idea!
