Nice...you got it on a clear day too. Last time I was in Shanghai, visibility was very poor.
Usually the better visibility comes at a price, the best skies happen during the annual typhoon season, between July and August, but it's also very hot and muggy, especially if you want to secure a spot for sunset at popular locations, when you have a arrive early in the afternoon, but speaking from experience, a cold beer (or two) does wonders....
I’ve been there a few times on the Bund overwhelmed by selfie shooters or wedding shooters.
Yes, having lived here for almost 15 years, I simply cannot handle the crowds anymore, so either we shoot sunset at secluded locations or we go for sunrise which means getting up at 3:30am. But also, there's already too many images of the CBD shot from the Bund waterfront, it's almost impossible to get an original image there. I've seen people pour buckets and buckets of water on the walkway early in the mooring, just to be able to get a small puddle for reflections :bugeyes:
