I was not on tour. 2-day conference took place in a rejuvenated warehouse, designed and managed by a group of Danish companies. The building sits beside a wharf which was said to have been used as a landing bridgehead for the invading Japanese army in 1937. History is still very much alive in the place. The building - Nordic Lighthouse
Originally a disused warehouse, renovated for World Expo
Eastern wharf of Huangpu River
Comfy chairs but no taker because of the heat
By the river
The two tallest buildings. World Financial Center (left) and Jin Mao Tower (right)
Cruise leaving for World Expo by the river route
Barge carrying logs plying down the river like in the olden day
Interior with Scandinavian touch
Safety sign remains but workers were long gone
Slogan painted on pillar like propaganda
An exhibition along the bare corridor
Theme: World Fairytales - The Little Mermaid
Creative screen created from piecing together simple building blocks
The warehouse past is well respected
