Yeah Jing An is dope, I’m also into photography and Shanghai is a great place to get it done. Jing An is in Puxi by the way, the other area is pudong which is boring as fuck. April/May it must have rained quite a bit no?
Ah, gotcha... well, I stayed way down closer to the Bund the first time, whereas in jingan I was like a block away from jingan temple. Far more greenery and quality restaurants there, though it's insanely westernized around there and very little resembling an adventurer's idea of "old china" remains. You've got to wander around a bit, but yeah, the city is just a photographer's dream. Last year I stayed there at the Swissotel for over a week, after being in Beijing, then hopped down to one of the rice terrace villages outside Guilin and then Hong kong. Would spend a year there just ambling around if I had the cash to do so.
