View from the shared living room in the Dorm: Front of the Building

I'm really happy I got a room at the back of the building. I am in Hongkou District- the "old" Shanghai - so I live with the locals. In the Pudong District - which you can see in the distance from the front of the building- is the "new" section of Shanghai- with all the amazing architecture, the French Concession and the famous Bund. This area is 20 minutes away by public transit.
