Nanjing is situated within the Yangtze River Delta region. Nanjing has a prominent place in Chinese history
and culture, having served as the capital of various Chinese dynasties, kingdoms and Republican
governments dating from the 3rd century to 1949, and has thus long been a major center of culture,
education, research, politics, economy, transport networks and tourism, being the home to one of
the world's largest inland ports.

6年ぶりの上海であったが、外灘(わいたん)に向かう地下鉄車内は満員、駅から外灘に向かう道筋は車道まで
人で溢れ、やっとの思いで黄浦江(こうほこう)川べりの地に着いた。戦前は外国の租界であったところで、多くの
観光客で賑わっていた。2013年にも訪問しているが、このような人、人で埋め尽くされた状況ではなかった。多くは
地方からの観光客であろう。中国の人口は14憶人、日本の人口は1億2千万人と11.7倍のすごさを実感する地点でも
あった。新しく導入された交差点の信号設備は非常に分かりやすく、赤青の点滅表示は横断歩道に埋め込まれていた。
2014年にロシア、サンクトベルグ市内を散策したときにも同様のものを見ているが、上海市の信号機はそれをさらに
進化させたものである。変わらないのは長江に合流する黄浦江の美しい夜景で、いつ見ても素晴らしい。

A night view of the Bund is wonderful.
