    In the Pudong Development Bank on the Bund in Shanghai above the marbled columned floor there is a dome where there are paintings depicting what and why?

    Question #37633. Asked by mochyn.

    MaggieG 5

    I found this in an article in the Los Angeles times from someone who had just been.
    "We moved on to the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank, now the Pudong Development Bank. High up in the entry dome, layers of paint were removed to reveal an elaborate mosaic picturing the world's trading capitals, the zodiac and scenes from Greek mythology, another reminder of Shanghai's 1920s opulence."
    While I was browsing through other sites I found a lovely quote from the Chinanow website which describes the Shanghai trains like this :- "These mobile mosh pits are a pickpockets paradise" Did you find that , Mochyn?
