Standing on the bank of the cloudy Huangpu River, one of the densest modern building complex in the world rose like the towering mountains in the misty landscape of clouds, shimmering in the structures made of medium-gray concretes, steels and glasses.

On the other side of the Huangpu River, the enjoyments of the tourists had not been spoiled by the uncertain weather, busy with selfies, group photos and wedding photos…… From the high-rise building, it looked like “Travelers among Mountains and Streams” painted by Fan Kuan, Chinese landscape painter at the Song Dynasty. People appeared extraordinarily small among the concrete mountains in the picture.

The poem "On the Stork Tower" was written by Wang Zhihuan, a Chinese poet in the Tang Dynasty. It persuaded people to stand high and look far.
