#6: The Huangpu River

On the final lake blue wall of the show, there is a set of photos taken by Robert along the Bund and the Huangpu River. When he first laid down in the suite of the Peace Hotel, the sound of steam whistles on the Huangpu River instantly transported him back to his childhood by the canals of Amsterdam. So, the next morning at sunrise, he eagerly set out with his camera and tripod. At around 6 a.m., as the sun slowly rose, two young men lay on the flood prevention wall of the Bund, seemingly having spent the night there to cool off from the heat. Meanwhile, citizens strolling, exercising, dancing, and resting along the Bund fascinated him. Looking across the river, the Oriental Pearl Tower in Lujiazui had just broken ground, young as a bamboo shoot, and the Yangpu Bridge taking shape.
