Shanghai is a diversified city. It has people not only from all around the country but also all around the world. Statistics show that less than 30% of Shanghai’s populations are those who were born and grew up in Shanghai.So, we know that most people live in Shanghai come from different places. Therefore, the feature of Shanghai is diversity. Shanghai has both various food from all over the world and different architectures of global styles.
Today I want to write about two famous architectures in Shanghai.
Though Shanghai was an important harbor in ancient China, the ancient architectures didn’t survive. Some old buildings were broken during the war time, but most of them were destroyed in order to build new modern buildings. The only ancient building surviving in Shanghai currently is the Yu Garden which was built in 1559. It was built as a private garden in the 18th century and was the center of Shanghai in the 19th century and now it is one of the most famous tourists’ attractions in Shanghai. The Yu Garden showsthe history of Shanghai and the great charm of ancient China style. Here is a picture of Today’s Yu Garden:

Another group of architectures in Shanghai is the Bund. The buildings in the Bund were built by the English when they invaded China. When P.R.C was founded, the building in the Bund was used as government buildings and banks. Now the Bund is a magnificent view in Shanghai because of its lights and its style, totally different from a style of eastern city but incredibly suitable. If you went to Shanghai without visiting the Bund, you can’t say you have been to Shanghai. The Bund is showing the diversity and international feature of modern Shanghai. Below is a picture of the Bund:
