The Shanghai landscape is transforming at an unprecedented pace and especially in her preparations for the hosting of the World Expo 2010. For example, the rate of construction of Skyscrapers, Shanghai Metro, Shopping complexes and Super highways is incredibly rapid as compared to my last visit 7 years ago. Population has reached more than 20m And in the age of Nintendo Wii, PS3, DVD, Youtube etc...this antique peep hole cinema retains its rustic charm. For the price of 5 yuan (approx SGD$1), you are treated to a 3 minute show plus a live commentary in the busy YuYuan Garden in the old town. What's inside? Visit Shanghai!

Oops! I was the photographer!
Ah! reminds me of my childhood days during the 50's. The peep show tricycle would park outside the school compound and for 10 cents, you could watch your 3-5 min movies. My favourites being Flash Gordon and Charlie Chaplin.
