Ancient Zhou Zhuang Water Canal Town
I visited Shanghai in January 2007 and went to Ancient Zhou Zhuang Water Canal Town. This wonderful place is located in Jiangsu province, China and it is UNESCO Heritage Listed.
The world is expanding and growing so fast, capitalisation, commercialisation and many different changes. Let's all make an effort to appreciate our history and landmarks in our home country and our neighbours around the whole wide world.

ps. for the viewers amoung us with a not so large screen as you and I have, maybe it is better to scale the pictures down to (for instance) 640x480 (or 480x640) :P ... just a thought...
