A tale of two cities has unfolded at downtown Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Centre with an exhibition of 80 photos revealing the charms of Shanghai and Hamburg.
The works from Chinese and German photographers capture the unique flavor and cultural heritage of the two cities. The photos detail the architecture along the Huangpu River in Shanghai and the port life along the Elbe River in Hamburg.
The 10-day exhibition will run through August 16. German officials hope the exhibition will fuel local interest in Hamburg, which will present an eco-friendly house at World Expo Shanghai 2010.
The house will be displayed in the Urban Best Practices Area.
The "Hamburg Home" will incorporate both living and office functions. The inspiration for the house came from the city's "HafenCity" project, where old buildings on the Elbe waterfront were renovated into modern environmentally friendly buildings with advanced technology.
