The park was originally the site of the Iron and Steel Factory (Pudong Iron & Steel Group) and the Houtan Ship Repair Factory. The rough-surfaced steel plates have the appearance of ship hull material. Although stylized as “Reed’s Platform" on nearby English-language signage, the name of the platform is 芦荻台 "reedgrass platform", and it incorporates fields of reeds into its design.Reed Platform2023-01-06NYUSH HengeNYUSH HengeJanuary 4, 2023

As seen from the waterfront.Gao Yang2022-12-12It was only 6:30 PM when the picture was taken, but Shanghai is in the eastern side of a single unified time zone wide enough that it could have been five. Sunset that day was at 4:52 PM, local time; last light was at 6:18 PM. The color differences between the building lights and their reflections are present in the RAW file. I’m planning to go back to see if the water color changed the actual reflection, or whether it’s an artifact from the iPhone.Douxian Park, early evening2022-12-08Road TripRoad TripDecember 2, 2022Photograph 1 from Rooftop SunsetRooftop Sunset — 1November 21, 2022Photograph 2 from Rooftop SunsetRooftop Sunset — 2November 21, 2022Photograph 3 from Rooftop SunsetRooftop Sunset — 3November 21, 2022Photograph 4 from Rooftop SunsetRooftop Sunset — 4November 21, 2022
