Panoramic pictures from China
The pictures were taken during our last trip to mainland China in October/November 1999. Macau still is very much Portuguese on the picture. There's not much I have to tell about the Bund, Shanghai's past and very likely a symbol for its future. Qingdao has its famous beer, but this is definitely not the most charming thing in town. Changchun might not be very exciting as a town itself, nevertheless I spent close to two months there.

New York I can now imagine what it must be like.
The architectural legacy and the contrast to
the rest of mainland China is plainly stunning.
