A place with a view.

ME has said for as long as I can remember, that she really really would like to live in a place with a view. Well I think we have come home, or at least for the next year. The apartments here have floor to ceiling windows including the living room, the master bedroom and even the master bath. The two guest bedrooms one with a sliding door, opening to a balcony and the other guest room with full floor to ceiling windows.

Our view is wonderful, looking west down the Huangpu River at the Nanpu bridge and beyond  to the site of the 2010 World Expo site. On a clear day, like this one, you can see for miles. The amazing part is that as far as you can see there is an endless view of high rise apartment buildings, at 23 million people and counting what else would you expect.

The river is full of activity, nonstop traffic, moving raw materials up stream, returning empty and repeating the cycle. In between the barges the ferry boats sometimes need to zig and zag to make their way across the river.

Below us is the outdoor pool/beach area which generates little swells several times a hour. In this view is the indoor pool, clubhouse area and the oval building is the gym with aerobic and strength machines and free weights. In the back ground is a lake and gardens that surround the towers.

From the back of the apartment the guest bedrooms also have a great view. It looks up to the heart of the finical district and home to the tallest buildings in China. And again on a clear day, office and apartment buildings as far as you can see.

The building on the right is The World Financial Center which is referred to as the bottle opener.
