The New Tale of Old Shanghai
Kowloon Tong School (Primary Section), Lee, Ka Yiu – 10
Over a hundred years ago,
Lots of westerners came
Dividing Shanghai into zones
Searching for opportunities along
Huangpu river,
And building architectures of
Numerous styles,
Gothic, baroque, and classicism
Had turned the Bund into
A financial centre
In the 1920s.
