My community lies near the center of the city. It is a high-ranking community. It has a club at one entrance of the community. All the buildings are high buildings. As it shows in the top picture, I lives on the 13th floor, but it is not the top floor. Most buildings have 18 floors.Our community also has an outdoor swimming pool. It is showed later.

Shopping

Most Shanghai people go to Yu Garden for eating and shopping. You can by most interesting items here, such as fans, Chinese traditional clothes, and small mirrors.

There are still some small shops nearby, but they are crowded. My feeling is, if you come in, it is hard to find your direction. Every shop are fulfilled, and some walkways in the shop even hard to allow two people walking together. The buildings are also fulfilled with shops, so dont need to remember the direction. You can buy small stuffs there, but I never buy clothes there.
