Where in the World (218)

The twisted photograph from last week had a rather futuristic look about it which led one respondent to suggest it was “a futuristic New York City”. However, it is not an artists impression of the future but a present day, rapidly expanding city. Most cities have at least one piece of iconic architecture that readily identifies it. The building with the two spherical shapes is the best one to identify the city with the other two tallest buildings playing a secondary role in identification. The city is Shanghai.

Congratulations to Jackie (@JackiesJourneys), Tim (@timofnewbury), Simon (@similtiades), Atul (@pixodentist) and Davide (@travelling_dave). All correctly identified the city as Shanghai.


This week the scene is not so much one structure but a whole area. Having said that there is one dominant structure that should help identify the place and then the city itself.

Do remember it is the city that needs to be identified. I am getting answers that tell me what the building or structure is but the name of the city is absent.

Please use the hashtag #WITW218. It makes finding the answers in a continually changing Twitter feed so much easier; your answer is less likely to be overlooked. Good luck.
